Broken road

Published June 25, 2017

HYDER Ali Road, Bahadurabad, Karachi, has been in a state of disrepair as a result of broken and choked gutters for the last two years. It is difficult to walk on the road. We have lodged several complaints with the department concerned but there is no response as yet. Old persons going for prayers find it difficult to cross the road.

The government should look into the problem and carry out repairs of Hyder Ali Road urgently.
