RAWALPINDI:
The City Traffic Police have advised the public to use alternative roads for commuting between the twin cities owing to construction work of the Metro Bus Project on Benazir Bhutto Road.
Remodelling of the road from Flashman’s Hotel to Faizabad and reconstruction of drainage system along the road is under way and hence motorists have been asked to use alternative roads.
