Khadda at the end of Street 23 and 22گڑھا

Some five or six years ago, DHA started building houses near Qayyumabad, as the two areas share a boundary. There is a pathway outside everyone’s house that leads to the main road. Due to heavy rains, the area got flooded, and even the sea level rose and started overflowing. The naalas (stormwater drains) became inundated, and water started flowing from everywhere.

People noticed that the water was still there even after two days. There was a lot of water in the streets and on the main road. So someone dug a hole near the stormwater drain so that the water could move more easily. But the situation became worse, and nobody—not the DHA authorities nor the people of Qayyumabad—did anything to fix the area where the hole was dug. Only two slabs are remaining now.

You can come and take a picture of this. There is just a narrow space left where people on motorcycles can pass, but even that is difficult because they fear falling into the sinkhole. Often, people who are unfamiliar with the street fall into it, leading to head or leg injuries. There have been many accidents because of this, but still no action has been taken.
