Greetings!!
Pakistan is a developing country. With a significant percentage of the national budget dedicated to developmental schemes, it is appreciable to notice the construction of several infrastructural facilities and residential/commercial structures. The running roads are direct implications of the numerous bridges and overhead passenger crossings built in the last decade.
However, appreciable though it is to see the cities and the country developing to suit the modern era, an abominable reality states that these master pieces, once built, are never looked after or maintained after successive use. True enough, cracks have become frighteningly evident in most of the old bridges built across Karachi. Same is the case with most of the old buildings here.
It should always be remembered that Karachi lies on the fault-line – such ignorance can result in horrendous outcomes if not looked after immediately. We shouldn’t wait for a tsunami to hit us like in Japan as we can surely not cope with such disasters.
I believe the public nowadays has become well aware of the corruption and injustice prevalent in the country. The floods on 2008 were sufficient enough to show how “well-maintained” the structures are. I think people can now identify the wrong and put in their efforts to correct it. If we as a nation and as victims can do nothing to make our lives better, then solutions to this problem will never come by!
Peace.
