DADU:<\/strong> The Panj Mor Bridge, an important transportation link located near Dadu, has fallen into a state of severe disrepair, creating significant hardships for commuters, students, and local residents while increasing fears of a potentially tragic accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to residents of the area, the bridge has been awaiting repairs for several years. Due to the alleged negligence of the relevant authorities and the absence of proper maintenance work, various sections of the structure have become damaged, making travel increasingly dangerous for those who rely on it daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of people, including motorcyclists, schoolchildren, government employees, farmers, traders, and livestock owners, use the bridge every day to travel between surrounding villages and Dadu city. Despite its importance, locals say the bridge’s deteriorating condition has continued to worsen without any meaningful intervention from the concerned departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to the media, residents expressed serious concerns over public safety. They stated that several portions of the bridge have already broken or weakened, forcing travelers to cross under risky conditions. They warned that every journey across the bridge carries the possibility of a serious accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to local accounts, multiple incidents have already occurred in which motorcycles and livestock fell from or near damaged sections of the bridge. While no major fatalities have been reported recently, residents fear that a larger tragedy could occur at any time if urgent repairs are not undertaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents in particular have voiced anxiety regarding the safety of school-going children who use the bridge every day. Many students from nearby villages depend on the route to reach educational institutions in Dadu and surrounding areas. Families worry that the bridge\u2019s unsafe condition places young children at unnecessary risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents emphasized that the Panj Mor Bridge serves as a critical connection for numerous rural communities. It is not only a transportation route but also an essential link for economic and social activities in the region. Farmers use the bridge to transport agricultural products, traders depend on it for business-related travel, and ordinary citizens rely on it to access healthcare, education, and government services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The worsening condition of the bridge has also increased travel difficulties. Commuters say they are often forced to move cautiously and slowly while crossing, leading to delays and inconvenience. The uncertainty surrounding the bridge’s structural stability has created constant concern among those who use it regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local residents further alleged that announcements regarding development and maintenance budgets are frequently made, yet little or no visible work is carried out on the ground. They claimed that repair promises often remain confined to paperwork while public infrastructure continues to deteriorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community members expressed frustration over what they described as a lack of accountability and responsiveness from relevant departments. They argued that public safety should be treated as a priority and that critical infrastructure such as bridges should receive regular inspections and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social activists, community leaders, and respected elders from the area have jointly appealed to the district administration, elected representatives, and the Roads and Communications Department to take immediate notice of the bridge\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have demanded that emergency repair and rehabilitation work be initiated without delay to prevent a potential disaster. According to the residents, temporary measures alone will not be sufficient; they are calling for a comprehensive restoration plan to ensure the bridge remains safe and functional for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local leaders warned that if practical steps are not taken soon, a serious accident involving loss of life could occur. They stated that in such a situation, responsibility would rest with the authorities and institutions that failed to address repeated public complaints and warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents have urged the government to allocate the necessary resources for the permanent repair and strengthening of the bridge. They stressed that safe transportation infrastructure is a basic public necessity and should not be neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As concerns continue to grow, the people of the area hope that the relevant authorities will respond promptly and undertake urgent repair work before the deteriorating structure leads to a preventable tragedy. The community remains united in its demand for immediate action to safeguard the lives of thousands of people who depend on the Panj Mor Bridge every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
