      <title>PHC slams traffic mismanagement amid PTI protests</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330452697/phc-slams-traffic-mismanagement-amid-pti-protests</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has ordered the reopening of all highways across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa following protests by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Wednesday, calling the traffic system in Peshawar the worst in the country.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the hearing, Justices Ijaz Anwar and Farah Jamshed expressed frustration at the disruption caused by blocked roads and the impact on emergency services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Advocate General Shah Faisal Atmankhel submitted a police report stating that all barriers had been removed and no roadblock remained in the province.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police ended the five-day sit-in at the Anbar Interchange and restored traffic flow, including on the Attock Bridge GT Road connecting Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roads connecting Dera Ismail Khan to Mianwali and Chashma, the Dera Ismail Khan-Islamabad Motorway (M-14), and the CPEC York Toll Plaza were also cleared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Havelian and Muslimabad interchanges on the Hazara Motorway have reopened under police supervision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Justice Ijaz Anwar criticised delays in implementing traffic plans, noting that the closure of Khyber Road paralysed the city.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Advocate General said work on the Safe City master plan was ongoing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The court emphasised that stricter enforcement would prevent future violations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities say the situation is now under control, with patrolling continuing at sensitive locations to maintain law and order.&lt;/p&gt;
