Residents in Sukkur Face Distress Over Electric Poles on Main Roads

SUKKUR: Residents of Sukkur are expressing significant frustration as electric poles are obstructing main roads, following a similar situation reported in Hyderabad. The issue has raised concerns about public safety and accessibility for commuters.

Local authorities have been alerted to the problem, with citizens demanding immediate action to relocate the poles that pose a hazard to both vehicles and pedestrians. One resident stated, “These poles are not only an eyesore but also a danger to our daily commute. We urge the government to take swift action to resolve this issue.” Officials have acknowledged the complaints and are assessing the situation.

This ongoing infrastructure challenge highlights broader concerns regarding urban planning and the maintenance of public utilities in Pakistan. As cities expand, the placement of essential services like electricity must be carefully managed to ensure the safety and convenience of residents.

In response to the growing outcry, local government officials are expected to convene next week to discuss potential solutions, including the possibility of relocating the poles and improving overall road safety measures.
