Broken road

Published October 23, 2019

I WOULD like to draw the authorities’ attention towards the deplorable state of the road leading from Jinnah hospital towards Kala Pul. The road has developed large potholes which often are filled with sewage that has overflowed from the choked drainage pipes.

Ambulances on the way to the hospital often face hurdles because of poor road conditions.

The dilapidated road is also the cause of severe traffic jams and inconvenience to commuters.

This is a request to the authorities to repair this road at the earliest opportunity.
