City Government’s Appreciable Act

At last Murghi Khana Flyover was reconstructed after a long time in cooperation with the city government, Karachi. The flyover that connects Murghi Khana (Quaidabad) to Malir was previously reconstructed when Naimatullah Khan was the city Nazim whereas none reconstructed the flyover after the then city Nazim. In this regard, various letters to editors were written that were published in daily English newspapers of Pakistan in order to attract the heed of the authorities concerned so that the flyover could be reconstructed.

Previously two-way traffic either heavy or light moved on the flyover without any defensive, short wall that could separate the flyover into two different roads and now the city government constructed a short wall in order to separate the flyover into two roads so that possible accidents could be stemmed which is an appreciable act.

But the real issue that was previously raised through letters to editors in various newspapers is status quo. It is true that recently constructed short wall would cope with possible accidents but there are various joints on the flyover that have hugely been bulged time by time that cause great jerks or jolts to traffic or public transport especially motorbikes and we daily see a motorcyclist’s accident travelling to its destination.

The authorities concerned must consider the real issue and take further steps to improve or repair the joints and level the roads on the flyover so that public’s safety can further be improved!
