Summary Traffic police held more than 150 vehicles on Thursday and parked them in ground of a high school
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Traffic police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have started ‘hunting down’ public transport vehicles on Thursday on the order of high officials. It is a common practice in Pakistan to use public vans and buses in election after getting them by force from the owners and even the so-called revolutionary government in KP could not change this tradition. Traffic police held more than 150 vehicles on Thursday and parked them in the ground of a high school.
Traffic police kept stopping the public vans, buses and pickups in Peshawar and parked them in the ground of Government High School number 1 after asking the passengers to quit the vehicle. According to traffic police, they got a target of collecting 400 vehicles from higher officials. Transporters said that their vehicles have been used in elections in past as well without their consent and they never even got paid for that.
