THE nullah from P&T colony to Gulshan-i-Ravi has been broadened unnecessarily which has reduced the width of the roads on both sides of it while the bridge over the nullah has been lying in dilapidated condition for the last four years.

The Punjab chief minister is requested to direct the agency concerned to complete carpeting of the bridge, reduce the width of the nullah passing underneath it and broaden the roads on both sides of it.
