PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on Tuesday issued notices to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Highways Authority (PKHA), deputy inspector general of traffic police and other relevant parties to submit reply in a writ petition seeking ban on entry of stone-loaded trucks on Charsadda-Peshawar road.
A division bench of the PHC comprising Justice SM Attique Shah and Justice Arshad Ali heard the petition while Shah Faisal Khan advocate appeared for the petitioner Hilal Ahmad, a resident of Shah Alam, Peshawar.
The counsel informed the bench that huge boulders of stone were being brought from marble quarries in Mohmand through trucks to marble factories in Peshawar via Charsadda-Peshawar, which had badly affected the road as well as bridges.
He said that the road had become bumpy due heavy weight of stone-loaded trucks, which could also cause an untoward incidentHe pleaded that light and heavy vehicles from the Malakand division were also using the same route due to which several bridges had become risky for traffic.
The lawyer told the court that stone-loaded trucks earlier used Warsak Road but the heavy traffic was then diverted to Mohmand-Charsadda-Peshawar road after a bridge was destroyed by flooding.He requested the court to ban the entry of boulders-loaded trucks from Mohmand to Charsadda-Peshawar road.
