Every day in Karachi feels like an obstacle course. A simple ride to university or work turns into a bumpy struggle, with potholes, half-dug streets and broken roads slowing us down. Students get late to classes, workers arrive tired before the day even begins, and parents worry about their children’s safety on these rough paths. What should be a short journey feels endless, leaving people drained and frustrated before they even reach their destination.
But behind this daily struggle are real human costs — vehicles breaking down, accidents on dark, uneven streets and even health problems from constant jolts on the road. Karachi’s citizens don’t ask for luxury, only for safe and smooth roads that let them live without fear or exhaustion. Repairing these roads is not just about development — it’s about respect, safety, and giving people back the dignity of a normal, stress-free journey.
