Soluble roads

Saturday, Sep 21, 2024

The Sindh government has reportedly decided to spend Rs1.5 billion to repair roads, bridges and underpasses damaged by heavy rainfall. I strongly advise that this money instead be distributed among the poor. The reason is that contractors in Karachi firmly believe that it's a heinous crime to do any work that can last more than a year. This is one reason why Karachi roads turn into potholes after less than half an inch of rain, while roads in Lahore can seemingly withstand 30 inches of rain.
