Gridlocked

In some areas of Turbat, such as the Central Jail vicinity, reckless double-parking and a lack of traffic police have turned school zones into bottlenecks. This gridlock does not just cause delays. It also prevents students from crossing safely and blocks emergency ambulances.

I urge the traffic police to deploy officers during these windows and call on schools to strictly enforce designated drop-off zones.
