I would like to draw the kind attention of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other supreme authorities on the ban on public transport on Khyber Road Peshawar. Geographically, Khyber Road is located in the centre of Peshawar city, which connects it with other districts. Everyday, thousand of vehicles transports goods from the big markets to the small town and villages of Peshawar. Millions of people use it to commute from their homes to offices, schools, universities, markets and other workstation, totally depending on public transport that run on this road. Khyber Road used to be fully closed on every session of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly, which caused high traffic jam, difficulties in access to hospitals, public insecurity and public irritation. Was it not enough for Provincial Government to tease general public? That recently, general buses to Warsak road, No 10 vegans and buses to Karkhano and transport to Hayatabad were completely banned or diverted to cant routs just because they were passing on a road that leads to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly and they were assumed to be a problem in high security of Provincial Ministers and MPAs.
I just want to put a question to Provincial Government that is it right to trouble millions of citizens just for the rest of only few politicians? Is it right to endanger the lives of millions of citizens just for the safety of few so called public representatives? However it is not possible for everybody to buy himself a bullet proof car or just a simple car to drop children to schools, universities or to pay high fare of taxi or rickshaw that may or may not be more than his daily earning. How can he be prosper and happy if hi is in trouble just by those whom he elected and hoped to get full security, peace and equality.
I request the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other authorities to lift ban on public transports on Khyber Road, because it’s the only mean of transportation to many school, universities and other workstation.
If it is not possible for Provincial Government (just like corruption, poor law and order etc) than for the betterment of citizen of Peshawar, Provincial Assembly, Cant Area and other sensitive areas should be shifted to a jungle that is more secure and better place for high security plans of politicians if not than I am sure shifting of sensitive area a least will be a little relief to Students, workers and other citizens that uses Khyber Road public transport for commuting.
