Residents demand diversion of sewerage line

Islamabad—The Federal Capital has a number of attractive and exhilarating places which lure its residents to while away their idle time in the heart of natural and man-made beauty.

Among them is the Rose and Jasmine Garden. It is one of the oldest popular place for all ages, especially for young ones to visit.

The recent construction plan and flower plantation have added to its beauty but the passage of dirty and foul smelling water outlet at the entrance of garden make the visitors to feel uneasy at the stingy smell.

The visitors have demanded of the Capital Development Authority to make immediate arrangements for diverting the passage of dirty water drain.

“It is something like an unwanted blot on the beautiful face of nature,” commented a young couple sitting under thick bunch of trees.

Fahad Khawja and Rabail Samreen the newly wed couple said “The place is no doubt, the ideal one for strolling and enjoying the natural beauty with serene atmosphere, but the presence of dirty water nullah is something strange.”

The fresh atmosphere with abundance growth of bunches of lush green trees planted at admirable distance from each other, multi-coloured rose flowers and silky green carpet of grass, swings for children and eatery would bring more visitors to the place if this hindrance is removed on the premises of garden, majority of the visitors observed.—APP
