Therefore, he urged DIG Traffic to take strict action against encroachments and clear the pathways.
Mr. Moiz also brought DIG Traffic’s attention to the excessive number of Chingchi and rickshaws, which are the second major cause of traffic jams after encroachments. DIG Traffic assured the NKATI President of resolving the issue of encroachments and other problems to maintain smooth traffic flow.
