Govt told to repair Lakki-Mianwali Road
Our correspondent : LAKKI MARWAT: The residents on Wednesday asked the provincial government to repair the Lakki-Mianwali Road, causing loss of precious lives in traffic accidents.
Former councillor Asmatullah Khan, Malik Usman Ali, Abdur Rehman, Muhammad Junaid and others said that the road connecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Punjab was in a shambles since long.
They accused the Pakhtunkhwa High Authority (PkHA) officials of not utilising the fund for the maintenance and repair of the road.
They said that the mishaps were taking place due to potholes in the road.
"The government allocates fund for the repair and maintenance of the dilapidated roads in the district, but the officials concerned don't work properly," Muhammad Junaid said.
They threatened to launch protest against the PkHA officials if the road was not repaired properly soon, adding, the authority would be responsible for any major mishap.
When contacted, Director Maintenance, Engr Ijaz Ahmed Khan, said that total 3000 kilometer road had been entrusted to the PkHA in the province for repair and the fund allocated for the repair was not enough.
"Let me ask the executive engineer to submit a report on the condition of the road in question and the department would take action accordingly," he added.
