Traffic congestion in port area intolerable: CM
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has expressed serious concern over the heavy traffic congestion in the port area following the reopening of Baber Loi Road after an 11-day closure. He said that this road blockage had halted cargo movements from upcountry, and upon resumption, the simultaneous influx of inbound and outbound traffic resulted in significant gridlock. He directed the traffic police to address the crisis by establishing a 24/7 Traffic Monitoring Cell near the port. He suggested, holding daily coordination meetings between port authorities, police, and logistics companies. World Press Freedom Day The chief minister paid tribute to journalists who have sacrificed their lives in the pursuit of truth, calling them heroes of press freedom. He commended the courage of Palestinian journalists who have been victims of Israeli aggression, emphasising that attacks on journalists pose a serious threat to democracy around the world. Murad added that the Sindh government has allowed complete freedom to journalists and no action has ever been taken against any journalist by the provincial government. He specifically mentioned that journalists in Sindh enjoy more protection and freedom compared to other regions of the country. CPNE The chief minister congratulated the newly-elected representatives of the Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) on their victory in the annual elections. He also congratulated the members appointed to the CPNE Standing Committee.
