RAWALPINDI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Apr, 2021 ) :The traffic on city roads was affected badly due to a religious organization protest at Liaqat Bagh creating problems for the commuters of the twin cities.

The traffic police had made a diversion plan even though people had to suffer a lot.

Traffic on Saddar-Murree Road was diverted towards Kutchery Chowk from Marir Chowk.

Raja Bazaar-Murree Road traffic was diverted from DAV College Chowk and vehicles coming from Committee Chowk were diverted towards Dhoke Khabba.

Muhammad Naeem, a resident, said people faced problems due to long queues of vehicles, adding alternate roads were congested after vehicles' diversion on these routes.
