Road maintenance unthinkable without VIP demand Islamabad May 23, 2021 Three months ago, I saw a round hole in the main road of Imran Khan Avenue, Scheme III Chaklala. It had a depth of a small drain. A closer examination revealed that right in the center of this depression was a concentric piece of iron. Perhaps, a sewer cave-in,” says Qurban Ali. “Yes the road looked like carpeted recently and the road-roller had apparently done the trick. A couple of automobiles and the overnight rain had lent it the respectability of a shallow drain,” says Zamir Haider. “As a concerned citizen, I rang up the works department. The person, who received my call after the bell had rung for about a minute, almost laughed when I told him the problem. An accident could happen at any moment. “It is the road department and not the works department”, said he, as he hung up,” says Adeem Hussain.
