THERE is a rugged bridge under construction in the Absor area of Turbat for a long time without nearing anywhere close to completion.

As can be seen in the accompanying picture, there is no labour force found on the work site on most days.

The delay is adding to the woes of the people of Absor who have multiple hardships to face in their life at large.

I urge the relevant authorities to look into the matter in order to provide some relief to the people.
