Abbottabad chaos

Published June 17, 2017

SCHOOLS, colleges, offices, beauty parlours, boutiques, etc, in Abbottabad’s residential areas, especially in Jinnahabad and Habibullah Colony, have made the lives of residents miserable.

Once peaceful localities, they have become a hub of various commercial activities. Traffic jams, specially during rush hours, make it a challenging task to reach one’s home.

Roads, water supply and electricity meant these localities are now used by schools and other commercial concerns.

The departments concerned turn a blind eye to all these problems.
