Public distrub due to Road Closures
The road closures across the provincial capital of Punjab have caused severe difficulties for residents, with journeys that normally take minutes now stretching into hours. Teachers, religious leaders, and people from different walks of life have expressed frustration over the prolonged restrictions.
Local teacher Khuram Javed said the road has remained closed for three consecutive days, forcing him to spend nearly half an hour on a trip that usually takes just five minutes. He urged authorities to address security concerns in a way that does not unnecessarily inconvenience the public.
Another affected resident, mosque imam Samii ul Haq, said the closures have made it difficult for him to reach the mosque to lead prayers. He noted that the situation is particularly challenging during the holy month of Ramadan, urging the government to provide alternative routes to ease public hardship.
Citizens have called on the government to resolve the issue on an emergency basis so that fasting residents can travel more easily during the sacred month.
