The recent approval of 85 crore rupees by Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) to start two projects to build two flyovers in Karachi is an appreciable act.
With the population increasing day by day, traffic also seems to grow rapidly. These flyovers will surely facilitate the people of Karachi. As usual, when the projects start, difficulties in abundance will engulf the people till the completion of the projects because traffic flow will be greatly disturbed during the projects and people will face inconvenience due to daily traffic jams.
In this regard, I want to suggest the concerned authorities that an alternate route must be designate for private and public transport. Since people through public transport have to go to different areas, the public transport should just be allowed to pass through the same route but private transport should be bound to take the route from Quaidabad, Korangi to Shahrae Faisal. This is an inconvenience but it would be rather better to take this route than to be stuck in traffic jam at Malir 15 and Malir Halt due to the projects.
