KARACHI: Old poles create traffic hurdle in Orangi
By A Reporter
KARACHI, Dec 12: The closure of a road in ‘L’ Block, Orangi has diverted traffic to main Shahrah-i-Orangi, which is also under construction.
Electric poles in the middle of the road near Chishti Nagar have created further problems for motorists. The KESC authorities are yet to remove the poles. Prior to completion of work on Shahrah-i-Orangi, the town administration officials closed the ‘L’ Block road. This has caused obstructions and created hurdles in traffic flow on this road that caters to vehicles plying on eight different routes.
All this traffic is now plying on a single uncarpeted track of main Orangi road, which is already in a dilapidated state. The additional vehicles have brought heavy traffic pressure on this track.
This scribe observed long vehicles could hardly manoeuvre because of the electric poles, these poles also pose a serious threat to peoples’ lives.
