As seen in the pictures above, no rainwater accumulated on Bahria Town streets, allowing commuters to travel hassle-free – a testament to Bahria Town’s superlative forward planning and design.

Because of the city’s drainage systems being choked, several areas – especially those where construction work is ongoing – have become virtually impossible to traverse for commuters.
