Tulsa Road residents want early completion of sewerage project

Rawalpindi: The residents of Tulsa Road and the adjoining areas have decried the unjustified delay in completion of laying sewerage lines and other development work projects in the area

Talking to this agency, Ijaz Khan, an area resident said that streets falling in the precincts of Chaklala Cantonment Board (CCB), were excavated for laying sewerage lines and other development work nearly a month ago but to the utter dismay of the residents the project has not been completed so far.

He complained of slow pace of development work and lack of basic amenities like streetlights in the area.

Raja Javed and Sardar Farooq, said, in 30 days only sewerage lines were laid and now the contractor has stopped the work for several days which is causing inconvenience to the residents on the road which witnesses bumper to bumper traffic during peak hours.

They said, they had met CCB officials to know about completion of the project, but had not received any positive response.

The residents said open manholes in the area were also a concern for them as it had become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

As the contractor left work midway, most of the people have levelled the ground in front of their homes on their own.

Some areas, where there is no residence, is still lying unattended creating problems for the residents, said Muhammad Tariq, another resident.

Meanwhile, the residents of street 1 and 4 also demanded repair of the streets which are fast breaking up due to non-repair.
