The recent Westerly rain showers have caused cracks in several roads that cause trouble to motorists and pedestrians.
Large cracks were visible on several roads that could pose a serious threat to vehicles and drivers.
The road from NDC to 7-Up Chowk has deteriorated noticeably. “The road near Sector I-10/3 industrial area is in a bad shape and several vehicles have had accidents,” said Talha Nadeem, a motorist. He said the road had turned into a pond and drivers could not spot big potholes and damaged their vehicles.
A taxi driver said there were big holes in the middle of the road in front of the H-9 College and the authorities were not interested in repairing it.
Traffic from the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway and GT Road from Taxila had been directed to the Kashmir Highway and 10th Avenue, causing more traffic jams.
A CDA official said that maintenance of roads was carried out on a regular basis.
