The uncovered portion of the drainage line beneath a bridge on the Ninth Avenue underpass can cause an untoward incident anytime as the death trap remains invisible to the Capital Development Authority (CDA).
While talking to agencies, commuters expressed concern over the casual attitude of the CDA, saying that the missing safety fence on the rain water drainage line could prove a death trap for the fast moving vehicles, particularly the motorcycle riders. “I could have died today, but I managed to escape the death trap at the eleventh hour as some portion of the drainage line was without a safety fence,” Muhammad Ihsan, a motorcyclist told agencies. He said that the uncovered manholes in the middle of the roads and the missing safety fence were a question mark on the performance of the civic body.
Residents demanded from the CDA to cover up all uncapped manholes and other death traps on the main roads of the federal capital lest anything bad happened.
