Under-construction nullah wreaking havoc

A private vehicle got stuck in the iron bars of an under-construction nullah after its driver lost control on the road leading from Landi Kotal Chowrangi in Block-H of North Nazimabad to Five Star Chowrangi.

The people present at the scene immediately pulled the driver out of the vehicle. He miraculously remained unscathed.

Upon receiving information, the traffic police also reached the spot. The vehicle, which was stuck in the nullah, was later pulled out with the help of a crane.

People present at the scene said that the construction work of the drain has been moving at a snail's pace for the last several months. Due to the debris of the broken drain being spread on the road, the flow of traffic on the food street is severely affected throughout the day.

Residents have demanded that authorities expedite the construction and complete it as soon as possible.
