The layman is kept at bay while the neglect by the authorities have created chaos in Karachi
KARACHI: The incompetence and neglect of municipalities in Karachi knows no bounds. They are not willing to take any responsibility seriously, due to which multiple problems such as overflowing sewage, broken street lights and the problem of increasing population of tray dogs persist. It is baffling that absolutely no care in the world is given, apart from the things that positively affect them. The layman is kept at bay while the neglect by the authorities have created chaos in Karachi.
Recently, the condition of the road from Water Pump to Sakhi Hassan has deteriorated badly because it was poorly constructed in the first place. Due to just this small issue, the traffic situation is such that it is literally like punishment for the people. Furthermore, the gravel and sand mixed with garbage has polluted the area due to which it becomes difficult to breathe.
After many complaints and requests I wonder what it will take for the road to be fixed. I, yet again, request the authorities concerned and the mayor Karachi to look into the issue and resolve it at the earliest.
