Death by manhole

February 22, 2018

The municipal authorities in Shikarpur must pay attention to the uncovered manholes that continue to pose a major threat to pedestrians as well as those who drive down the streets of the city. More often than not, children injure themselves when they walk on an uncovered manhole. Several road accidents have also occurred because of these manholes.

Although residents place bricks or tree branches to warn people who travel on these roads, the number of accidents caused by uncovered manholes is on the rise. The authorities concerned must take remedial measures to tackle the problem at the earliest.
