PESHAWAR - Due to the poor management plan of traffic authorities, the VVIPs movement causes multiple traffic problems on the eve of special occasions like political gatherings and condolences of important personalities.
The main University Road remained blocked for public transport and heavy vehicles were not allowed to travel on University Road due to the arrival of high profile personalities to condole the death of Qazi Hussain Ahmad. The people who came from far-flung areas to attend hospital in Hayatabad and Sherpao were greatly suffered in traffic miseries. The transporters had no other choice but to divert the traffic toward Kohat road and ring road where already construction work is continue. Huge rush of vehicle and traffic jam was observed on both Kohat road and ring road due to the blockade of university road for public transport.
School going children and ladies who had to attend their classes and duties were also get late and most of the people hired taxies vehicles to reached their destination. The traffic police had not earlier informed the transporters to use alternate routs of Kohat and ring road due which some vehicle had to return in the middle, which were causing further blockade of other roads. The commoner hold responsible the traffic authorities for not prior information regarding blockade of any road due to the arrival of high profile personalities.
The VVIP movement has badly affecting the general masses as 30 minutes before the arrival of high profile person, the roads being blocked to provide safe and speedy passage to these dignitaries.
