The residents of the city told APP that streets and roads in the capital are creating problems for them and hundreds of small and big ditches of different radius have appeared on the streets, often filled with dirty water oozing out of broken water pipelines.
Though the authority concerned has rebuilt broken roads, due to use of substandard material they were broken once gain. Dilapidated streets and roads in the rural areas are creating inconvenience and problems for residents while the authorities concerned are playing the role of a silent spectator.

The residents of sectors G-7 and G-6 also accused the authorities concerned of their negligence in ensuring cleanliness, which resultantly leads to different diseases springing up in the locality.
