TRAFFIC jams in Hub have become a nuisance for the people. Recently, one of my friends, who needed healthcare and wanted to reach a hospital, died because of the traffic jam.

Students too suffer a lot because they are not able to reach their schools and colleges on time owing to traffic jams. Sometimes you can find fallen wires and pipes on roads, creating a traffic mess. Accidents also occur on Hub roads because of these conditions.

The government had announced three years ago the construction of a bypass road, but it is yet to be built. If we have this bypass road the citizens will travel to Karachi without any difficulty.

Likewise, by using the bypass road people from other areas of Balochistan like Quetta, Gwadar and Kech can also reach Karachi with ease.

I urge the government to reconstruct the main RCD road and construct the bypass road.
