As a result, the Shahrah Mujahid-e-Awal has been closed to all traffic, causing significant disruptions.

Raja Ashiq Khan, a leader of Jamaat-e-Islami Western Bagh, along with other party leaders, joined the protest to highlight the unfulfilled promise of the road’s construction.

A large number of people are actively participating in the protest, demonstrating their frustration and demanding immediate action from the authorities.
