THE Dadu-Moro bridge is the main gateway between the two districts and two cities. Thousands of passengers use this bridge daily. It is also a picnic point for the people who live near it.

I went there a few days ago, but was astonished to observe that there were no basic facilities like seating arrangement or tuck shops. Even across the bridge, electricity was not available.

The authorities concerned, Sindh irrigation, works and service and provincial highways departments should look into the matter.
