KARACHI, Jan 22: Slow pace of work on sewerage lines along the roads in Garden area is causing difficulties for the residents and also resulting in massive traffic jams during peak rush hours.

During a visit to the area, it was observed that sewage mixed water was gushing out from various spots but no action was in sight.

Area residents Imaad and Ahmad told that due to closure of the roads of Soldier bazaar and Patel Para the traffic flow had been diverted to the Maneckji Street, which has further aggravated to the problem.

The closure of road along the Zoological garden is also a constant problem for the people and one of the reasons of frequent traffic mess.
