SOMETIMES development work which should normally be welcomed causes anger and frustration among the public if not planned meticulously.

One such example could be the laying of gas pipeline from Murree to Upper Deval, the village where Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi comes.

People commuting between Muzaffarabad, Murree and from Islamabad have been facing difficulties owing to ill-planned development work.

It is suggested traffic should be regulated at the bottlenecks around the clock, while work should be done during low traffic hours. For this purpose, contractor should be asked to arrange adequate machinery to complete the work as soon as possible.
