Traders can play an important role in solving the city’s basic problems. Steps will be taken soon to improve the traffic system in the city. These remarks were made by SDPO Qurat-ul-Ain while meeting with a delegation of the Markazi Tanzeem-e-Tajiran at her office on Thursday.

This assurance was given by the city’s newly appointed Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Qurat-ul-Ain, during a discussion with a delegation from the Central Traders Association in her office.

Representatives of the association, led by President Kamran Memon, informed the SDPO about several significant challenges. Key grievances included the proliferation of illegal rickshaw and Qingqi stands and persistent parking issues on major thoroughfares like Market Chowk, Post Office Chowk, Station Chowk, and Baldia Road.

In her response, SDPO Qurat-ul-Ain acknowledged the severity of the situation, attributing the city’s worsening traffic problems to a shortage of traffic police, encroachments on designated parking areas, and a lack of effective countermeasures from the business community.

She pledged to personally inspect the city’s main roads and markets and stated that she would contact all relevant departments to find solutions. The police officer emphasized that traffic and encroachment issues would be resolved with the cooperation of the traders.

During the meeting, the traders’ delegation, which included Malik Abdul Khaliq, Abdul Haq Chauhan, and others, offered suggestions for resolving the problems. At the conclusion of the discussion, President Kamran Memon invited SDPO Qurat-ul-Ain to visit the association’s office.
