KARACHI, May 2: Residents of Keamari and Lyari, residing along Mauripur Road, have called for construction of a pedestrian bridge near People’s Ground to enable people to cross the road safely. They pointed out that crossing the road had now become a risk because of movement of heavy traffic, and a number of accidents have occurred in the past.
