Despite the ban on the Friday weekly ‘Vehicles Bazaar' in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, it operates openly on Benazir Bhutto (BB) Road from Chandni Chowk to 6th Road Flyover. It seems that the departments concerned have turned a blind eye to the Friday Bazaar of cars and other vehicles for reasons best known to them. According to a resident of the area, namely Faisal, the illegal Friday bazaar causes inconvenience not only to the people living nearby but also to hundreds of commuters and motorists using the road. He said the City Traffic Police (CTP) had failed to take action against the car sale points and illegal weekly car bazaars mostly in Sadiqabad, Chandni Chowk, Sixth Road and different areas along Murree Road engage in the thriving business. He said that due to the bazaar, the vehicular traffic comes to a standstill and the citizens have to face severe traffic jams on Murree Road. The 6th Road Flyover has also lost its utility due to this vehicle weekly car bazaar. The citizens have demanded a crackdown against the organisers of this illegal weekly bazaar and slapping of heavy fines on them for violation of the ban.
