Delegation of responsibility at grassroots level is always a welcome change because the authorities working at very basic level are well aware about the core issues being faced by a man on the street. Before the delegation of responsibility to municipal authorities, traffic jams in Mianwali were a common phenomenon especially at Ballo Khel road, the busiest road in the city. During peak hours, it had been very difficult for the people to reach their work places on time. Commuters took a sigh of relief when this busy road was turned into a one-way traffic mode. The local government’s efforts in this regard are commendable. The other thing that the authorities may look into is tree plantation along the road to tackle growing pollution.
However, it is pertinent to mention that during rainy season, rain water is stored in underpass in the city. This disrupts the otherwise smooth flow of traffic. The authorities concerned are requested to work out a viable plan for the quick drainage of rain water and save commuters from inconvenience.
