Quetta road closed

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Quetta road, the only source of connecting Balochistan to Punjab, has been closed. Hundreds of trucks and passengers are stuck in mountains, and trucks drivers are currently stuck at Rakhi Gaj, where the road is closed because there is a bridge being constructed. According to TV reports it will not be open soon. Fruit, meat and vegetables loaded in these trucks are also at risk of going rotten. If the road will be shut down for a long time then businesses will die in these two provinces. So, government should take action on this issue as soon as possible.

Imitiaz Baloch,

Quetta
