I WOULD like the Quetta authorities to have some mercy on the people of this city. As someone who has spent most of his life in the city, I would like to point out that there is a dire need for parking lots or plazas.

Private hospitals and other institutions are being constructed in the city but for some reason, none of the builders and authorities have provided parking space in these buildings.

Where is one supposed to park one’s car or motorcycle when one visits these institutions?

Even the markets and bazaars of Quetta don’t have proper parking areas. While development is good for the city, I suggest the authorities should also look into and resolve the parking issue as its making the city congested.
