Pakistan: Traders protest against delayed road extension project
Pakistani traders recently blocked roads to protest against the delay in Multan Road expansion project, media reports said.
The project has remained incomplete for the past 10 years.
On Monday, shopkeepers along Multan Road closed their shops and demanded completion of the project, reports Dawn News.
The protesters stood amidst sewage water that had overflowed due to the municipal committee’s negligence. They raised slogans against the caretaker chief minister and the district administration for failing to address the sewage issue, which had caused a great deal of inconvenience for them, the Pakistan newspaper reported.
Local leader Sheikh Amir Saleem told Dawn News that the incomplete road and sewage problem had severely impacted their businesses.
The deputy commissioner later sent ADCR Abida Fareed and Executive Engineer (highway) Shahid to meet the traders.
