      <title>Lahore gradually reopens but Motorways remain closed</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330390440/lahore-gradually-reopens-but-motorways-remain-closed</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lahore, which was completely sealed off yesterday due to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protests, gradually started reopening on Monday. Roadblocks have been removed from several locations, and the Metro Bus service has been partially restored, though its route is currently limited.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Traffic has been partially restored at Data Darbar, Azadi Chowk, and Shahdara, with containers and trucks removed to create single-lane passageways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, sources indicate that these routes could be closed again in case of emergencies, and police remain deployed in the area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Motorway sections remain closed for a fourth consecutive day, and bus stands at General Bus Stand, Badami Bagh, and Band Road remain shut.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Metro Bus service has resumed operations, but with a significantly reduced route. According to the Mass Transit Authority, the service is currently operating only between Gajjumatta and MAO College Chowk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The route between MAO and Shahdara remains closed. The Metro Bus service has been intermittently suspended or limited for the past three days due to the ongoing protests.&lt;/p&gt;
