I wish to draw your attention towards the poor maintenance of a road in our locality, the one from Clifton Colony Ghati to Al-Hamd Colony, the straight road behind Wahdat Colony, Lahore. The maintenance work was on different roads in this area but the road I mentioned above has been left out.
The roads in our locality have not been repaired for a long time. There are pits and ditches on the roads everywhere. The condition of the road becomes all the worse during the rainy season. They cause road accidents. At night people sometimes stumble over. Moreover, these pits provide breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Besides, most of the streetlights in our locality are out of order. Only a few streetlights are functioning. It has caused a spurt in the incidence of crime in the area. There are frequent incidents of chain snatching in the evening hours. Snatching, burglary and theft have become the order of the day. The hooligans after committing crimes take advantage of the darkness and safely run away.
I, therefore, request the concerned authorities to take necessary action to repair the roads.
