Broken roads

Published December 17, 2017

I have lived in North Nazimabad for the better part of my life. The roads in the locality have never been this bad. For the last two years the roads are in a horrible condition.

The roads’ dilapidated condition damages cars. Recently a U-turn collapsed and fell into the drain running under it. This has affected traffic and clogged the drains.

It has been weeks since the incident occurred but the civic authorities have yet to take notice and order repairs.
