Residents of Rawalpindi and those living in its environs must have heaved a sigh of relief as the much awaited rainfall finally showered its blessings and made the weather somewhat pleasant as compared to the very warm days they have been experiencing recently. Everything above ground looks fresh and clean – the trees appear as if they have sprouted new leaves overnight!
Alas, things don’t look so good on the ground level and one glance at the mess lying everywhere brings you down to reality with a jolt! Low lying areas have been inundated, **t to say anything about the mud and slush which has made life miserable, especially in the areas where the less privileged live and the ‘katchi abadis’(slums) where there are ** paved roads. An added nuisance is the refuse which was thrown out from overfilled drains and open garbage sites and lies everywhere, the pernicious polythene bags being the most evident and rotting fruit and vegetables.
