Traffic trials: Protest against traffic problems

SIALKOT: Local parliamentarians have expressed grave concern over the traffic situation in the Sialkot district. A rally organised by political workers said that the traffic situation was deteriorating in the district, as traffic violations were exceedingly common and there weren’t enough traffic officials to monitor the situation. The protesters demanded the immediate start of the traffic wardens system to rectify the situation. “It is becoming harder and harder to drive as people barely even adhere to traffic signals at major crossings,” said a commuter, Altaf.
