Abbas Majeed Khan Marwat said that City Traffic Police Peshawar would continue its operations against the encroaching mafia and no leniency would be shown to anyone in this regard.
He said that those who disrupted the traffic system did not deserve any concession which would be dealt with iron fists. He directed the traffic authorities to take action against the encroaching mafia on a daily basis and to keep a check and balance after the encroachments were stopped so that the citizens would not face any difficulty.
Traffic Chief said that the citizens should refrain from parking their vehicles and motorbikes on the side of the road while their vehicles would be shifted to the terminal including taking legal action against the violators of the new parking zone.
Mr Abbas appealed to the traders to voluntarily end encroachments to ensure the beauty of the city and uninterrupted flow of traffic.
