Phuugran bridge built at a staggering cost of approximately Rs 240 million has been blocked by a local family because of its internal feuding over a piece of land measuring five marlas. The ICT administration is trying hard to sort out the mess but no solution has been found so far. How can a family freeze a public facility which has already been completed at a huge cost to the tax payers? This question needs an immediate answer from whoever is concerned with the development of Islamabad. Personally I feel disgraced because I am living in the area which is supposed to be serviced by the unfortunate bridge. My repeated appeals against the tribal mindset suspending the bridge have fallen on ears and eyes that seem to be closed. How many Malalas do we need to awaken the dormant conscience of the citizenry of the Islamic republic?
