Islamabad school

Published March 7, 2015

THIS is about a private school located in F-7 on main Nazimudin Road, Islamabad. I pass by this school daily in the morning and have to waste five to 10 minutes due to the traffic jam.

I find it quite amusing that people want to give their children a better education, but they are so ignorant that they park their vehicles on the road and nobody, including traffic wardens, bothers to keep this important thoroughfare clear for other road users.

The interesting thing is when somebody shows irritation on this illegal and unethical approach, traffic wardens threaten them with a challan instead of fulfilling their duties to clear the traffic.
