KARACHI, July 21: The main thoroughfare that connects the Orangi and Baldia towns is in a very bad shape and its condition is further deteriorating with the passage of time.

The slow pace of the ongoing reconstruction work on a portion near the Chandni Chowk and the construction material dumped on the site has further added to the problems.

The area people have themselves raised speed breakers on the road, which are in fact ‘car breakers’.

Over speeding buses and coaches, on such a rough road, pose a great threat to the lives of the citizens.

The road has been dug-up on various places by different utility organisations on the pretext of uplift or maintenance works but left unattended after the completion of their works, thus adding to the miseries of the people and the traffic plying on the road.

The road enjoys a very important position as it links the city to the Lyari Expressway, the area people have demanded of the city nazim to take personal interest in the reconstruction of the road.

According to them, due to the dilapidated condition of the road, besides changing the tyres of their vehicle after a very short span of time, the vehicles were developing all kind of faults, causing financial losses to them.
