LAKKI MARWAT: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Highway Authority has launched work on repair of damaged portions of Tajazai-Darra Tang road passing through the Lakki city.

The busy road connecting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Punjab is potholed and damaged at several places causing problems in smooth flow of traffic. The recent spell of monsoon rains had also damaged the road and created ditches in it.

The road was repaired during the last month, but potholes and ditches surfaced in it at several places apparently due to use of low quality material.

Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Bakhtiar Khan had directed the PKHA to repair the road when its bad condition was brought into his notice during a meeting to review arrangements for Tableeghi congregation likely to be held in the last week of September and hundreds of thousands faithful are expected to participate in it.

The deputy commissioner was told that deteriorating condition of roads would confront motorists and those travelling in public transport vehicles to come to Lakki Marwat to attendreligious congregation.
