Attock localities lack sanitation, roads
Residents of different localities of the District headquarters town here are concerned due to miserable condition of sanitation and roads. Due to apathy of the local authorities, it seems there is nobody to take care of the civic problems. Peoples Colony known for decades as a posh locality of the city, is among those areas waiting for removal of garbage, repair of dilapidated roads and streets. Residents of the whole District headquarter town particularly peoples colony and adjoining areas are facing problems due to lack of sanitation and dilapidated condition of roads and streets. The low income colony was a project of the Punjab housing and physical planning department initiated in early seventies. Later the colony was handed over to the Municipal Committee Attock. Tehsil Municipal Administration and Punjab excise and taxation departments receive huge taxes from the residents. But their performance in provision of basis needs is not up to the mark as they provide no civic amenities. Residents have expressed concern on lack of sanitation and dilapidated condition of roads and streets in the peoples colony and demanded the Nazim to take remedial measures for provision of basic facilities in the area once known as posh one. They complained that choked gutters are releasing filth in almost all streets causing serious problems for school and college going students and elders offering prayers. They said that they had drawn the attention of the TMA and other concerned departments many times, but no one cares the official departments had turned blind eyes towards genuine problems. They have demanded the high-ups of the District and tehsil governments Attock to do something for the repair of dilapidated roads, streets and improvement of sanitation. They regretted that their genuine problems are not being resolved despite the good thing that a veteran political activist Qazi Khalid Mahmud Khan of Jatiyal the Tehsil Nazim heads TMA. Qazi Khalid was President of the students union of the local college in late sixties and played an active role in the movement against Ayub Khan. Later he remained an activist of the PNA movement and founding District President of Tehrik-I-Istiqlal of Air Marshal (Retd) Asghar Khan. They hoped that keeping in view previous struggle of the tehsil nazim, their problems would be resolved without any further delay and people paying huge taxes to the local and provincial governments would be relieves from hardship.
