While much of Hub City’s infrastructure has seen significant development recently, Peer Khas Road remains a glaring and dangerous oversight. Serving as a vital artery connecting Hub Bypass to RCD Road and housing several major corporations, this stretch of road has been inexplicably abandoned by the authorities. The consequences of this neglect are no longer just logistical; they are medical.
As a student, I am forced to travel on this road to attend my classes on a regular basis, and I have developed a chronic cough due to the relentless dust clouds. For residents with allergies and particularly for school-going children, the air quality has become a severe health liability. Beyond the respiratory toll, the dust-blindness caused by passing vehicles makes driving on this road a daily gamble with safety.
Furthermore, it is particularly disheartening to note that this project is reportedly included in Pakistan’s Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP). If the funding is allocated, why is there no progress on the ground? I strongly urge the relevant authorities to move beyond bureaucratic delays. The residents and students of Hub deserve to breathe clean air and travel on safe roads. Work on Peer Khas Road must begin immediately.
