IN Peshawar, people are not allergic to dust and pollen. They are allergic to the Bus Rapid Transit system and anything to do with it. The project is a failure in several aspects and sometimes it looks like a school project being done by teenagers.
On the one hand you have this huge project which has created employment for a large number of people, on the other hand, this project is making the people of Peshawar and the traffic wardens sick.
As we are racing towards March 23 — the day the BRT is supposed to officially open — I feel that my nightmares might become a reality.
The provincial government should look into this and find a solution fast.
