I WOULD like to draw the attention of higher authorities to the single road from Karachi to Quetta. Everyday many accidents take place on this route – it is one of the biggest ‘killers’ out there.

Too many precious lives have been lost on this track. In some cases people lose the sole breadwinner of a family, or a child. The government should take steps to widen the road or come up with an alternative plan.

They should also think about investing in street lights so travelling can be made easy.
