Just go on google earth and watch the topmost financial, business streets of the world they would find in excellent condition, whether it would be a matter of cleanliness, standard or maintenance even in torrential rainy days they would never be dilapidated in any case. See the Wall Street Journal you would be amused and feel ashamed comparing our I. I. Chundrigar Road Karachi.
Ironically, in Karachi the dilemma is that 70s different taxes are imposed by the government agencies from the citizens of Karachi and in response citizens are living their lives in miserable conditions having broken roads, filthy transport, dirty stagnant rainy and sewerage water, and bulk of garbage.
It is notable that I. I. Chundrigar Road is the financial area of the city. The recent rain completely destroyed this road and the concerned authorities didn’t take any action for initiating the process of repairing yet. This would not only generate revenue for the country but would also ease the pain of the general public. But it seems that to those in power or with influence, the woes of the general public do not matter after all, what can be more important and urgent than the speedy repairing of the road for running transport and business smoothly? The allied government is turning out to be a tale of too many shattered dreams.
Similarly, Mumtaz Hassan Road adjacent to State Bank of Pakistan having charged parking and a lot of money is being made in terms of parking fee, while the condition of the road is embarrassingly worst to the authorities who are charging for parking. Such loot and plunder have happened too often right under the nose of the State Bank and Sindh Police Headquarter located near this road. While, Sindh Chief Minister to give him the benefit of the doubt that he is not aware of it.
Question is that how long the authorities would make us fool, will take taxes, and will remain volatile and vulnerable doing nothing in the time of need. This uncertainty, darkness should be ended immediately otherwise their dishonor will be lighted down to the latest generation.
After paying so many taxes, the government does not show any proof of responsibility in the time of suffering, so it should answer our taxes where this money is spent. Tell me is that Rocket Science which cannot be understand having manpower, taxes money and heavy machinery?
