Six roads in SCB jurisdiction will be closed permanently for public use, the SCB notice mentioned. It also entreated people for suggestions and objections within 21 days from the date of publication.
The members alleged that the roads mentioned in the notice were already closed for years and the SCB and LMA did not obey the orders of the Ministry of Defence and army headquarters issued on May 2018 about the reopening of roads.
