Broken roads

Letter February 23, 2015
I would request the elected representatives to look into this matter and take appropriate measures

KARACHI: I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the deplorable state of roads in Karachi. The road from Jinnah Hospital leading towards the Kala Pul is in a deplorable condition. It has broken patches at various places and is often filled up with water that has leaked from sewage pipes.

Ambulances often face hurdles because of poor road conditions while on the way to the hospital, which puts the patients’ lives at risk.

The battered road causes severe traffic jams and inconvenience to commuters daily. I would request the elected representatives to look into this matter and take appropriate measures immediately.
