Overhead bridge at Choohar Chowk demanded, Source

RAWALPINDI - Lack of overhead bridge at Choohar Chowk has given rise to traffic mess and crossing the chowk has become akin to inviting death call.

This chowk is thickly populated and is hub of commercial activities. This is located at the juncture of various routes. One goes to Pir Wadhai, other to motor way and this way it becomes flooded with wagons, buses and other vehicles. “Amid such tsunami of traffic, we can not cross the road and on the other hand no fly over is built over the chowk. We are left at the mercy of drivers of over speeding vehicles”, said scores of residents of area.

“Our school is located on the other side of the road and we have to wait for hours to cross it. We never see any let up in traffic flow any time. This way it takes sometime hours to stand on road side and wait for any opportunity to go over to the other side, said Farkhinda Jabeen, a school girl. Residents of the area have demanded of concerned authorities to take measures for early erection of fly over at Choohar Chowk.
