Despite bringing the issue of poor road, lack of sewerage line and unhygienic condition in Ward No.8, Saif Colony in Shaheen Nagar area, the municipal officials pay no heed to the grievance and comfortably dragging the matter from one pretext to another only to serve the goals of their political bosses,” blamed Bari.
