A long neglected road

When the government fails to provide facilities to the citizens, it is but natural for the inhabitants of any area to do whatever they can to resolve their civic issues. In this picture of the Drosh bazaar, the locals try to fill a ditch developed on the road due to lack of maintenance. Government authorities and elected representatives frequently use the road to travel between Chitral and other parts of the country but have not felt the need to repair it even after the passage of many years.—Photo by Abbas Hussain]]>
