The Lower Mall Road, which has been inaccessible for the past twelve months, is now open for vehicular and pedestrian movement. Authorities announced the reopening, allowing commuters to resume their usual routes through the thoroughfare. The road's revival is expected to ease local traffic congestion and restore connectivity for nearby businesses and residents. Officials have urged motorists to follow standard traffic rules as normal operations resume. No further details on the cause of the year‑long shutdown were provided.
