Furthermore, the road from I-8 Police Station to HEC chowk which is being used by all type of traffic because of the construction of Metro Project over 9th Avenue have big holes posing not only a serious threat to the vehicles but also lives of the drivers. He said during the rain, these roads turns into a pond and the drivers cannot spot big holes in the roads and as a result they damage their vehicles.

A taxi driver also informed that there are also big holes in the centre of the road in front of H-9 College and said the authorities concerned are not interested in the rehabilitation of this road which is being used by a large number of public and private transports.
