         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Editor,&nbsp;<br>I am writing this letter to notify you about the recent issues of traffic in DHA Phase 2 near Tooba masjid at 2 o clock as it is the time when the schools nearby get off. The traffic is caused because of the narrowness of the road and people park cars in the wrong places which causes the whole road to be blocked. There are water tankers there which also cause a lot of problems.<br>This problem can be solved by removing the water tankers illegally parked and there should be designated parking spots for cars so that people don’t park illegally. Police officers should be stationed near the road so that the rules can be enforced and will not be broken.<br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Editor,<br>Recently I noticed that in Karachi, Gulshan, many people are not following the law. They break signals, and risk their own, and other people's lives, just to not wait for two minutes.This causes traffic jams and other inconveniences among the local people.<br>This is a very big problem as now the number of people breaking these laws has increased by alot, in the past couple of years. If we do not take corrective action, Karachi's citizens will continue to perform these illegal activites which is alarming.<br>I want you to mention some points which highlight the importance of obeying traffic rules, such as the risk of breaking signals, having more roads to decrease traffic and to have severe punishments for disobeying traffic laws, in the next issue of your newspaper, so that the people and government become aware of this and make decisions according to it.<br>I hope you will agree with me on this situation and will publish an article which highlights the importance of traffic rules, as soon as possible.<br>Yours sincerely,<br>Huzaifa Saeed Khan</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear editor,<br>I am writing this concerning about the heavy traffic being taken place in various places in Karachi . As many complaints are being received from those people who live there and those who cross by that area on a daily basis. Many drivers are breaking the law through breaking the signals and risking the lives of many other&nbsp; residents as well.&nbsp;<br><br>I would suggest you to take serious action to this problem as many residents are facing a lot of difficulties in Saddar, DHA phase 2 and other various places and in my opinions we should opt for heavy fines for those who are not wearing a seatbelt and for those who break traffic signals. We should hire traffic police officers to manage the traffic easily.&nbsp;<br><br>After full filling all these requirements the heavy traffic of Karachi will decrease immensely. As many people will be more cautious when there going to know about the the heavy fines which will be given to those who break the rules. And by having traffic police, they would easily manage the traffic. These are my opinions of how to maintain traffic in Karachi&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Editor,<br>I have been noticing that many people are not following the law regarding the traffic here in Karachi and are threatening the safety and welfare of its residents. Around noon May 16th, the streets were flooded with swarming cars from all directions right outside my home in Defence Phase VII.&nbsp; Along with that, there have also been major maintenance problems regarding the roads. Many of them are breaking and the residents, for obvious reasons, are refusing to go on such roads. This causes even more traffic. This traffic also causes stress among the residents who are in a hurry.<br><br>However, I have a solution which I hope you will consider. Firstly, I recommend that you have a more punctual and active maintenance team to maintain the quality of the roads so there will be no more broken roads. My 2nd solution would be that there should be traffic police around every corner to quickly catch any driver who breaks the law. My 3rd and most probably the most effective solution would be to make more roads. Now you may need more staff for maintenance but the traffic complaints would drastically decrease.<br><br>No longer having to worry about traffic will calm down the residents and reduce stress among the people who are in a hurry as well as making this neighborhood more peaceful and calm.&nbsp;<br>I hope you will take my solutions to careful consideration.<br><br>Yours sincerely,<br>David Ambrose </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Editor,<br>I am writing this letter to express my concern over the traffic issues in Karachi DHA near the lilly bridge.&nbsp; This issue is getting worst day by day. Citizens are getting frustrated from this hectic journey. Moreover, the heavy traffic and the narrow meandering at rush ours also contribute in this problem. Broken sign boards, lack of signal leads the situation to even worsen at a colossal extent.<br><br>To solve this problem, traffic police of Karachi must format new rules and strict implementation of this rules especially at rush hours. Moreover, they should fix the broken signals. In addition to that, government should encourage the public to use public transport or they can also build subways that are trains. Every person should contribute as much as he could for example:&nbsp; avoiding travelling at rush hours, leave over-speeding etc.<br><br>Benefits to the residents would include: punctuality of the students and officers at their institutions, reduction in air and etc. I hope you will see my letter as strong case and a popular issue in Karachi.<br>Thankyou<br>Sincerely&nbsp;<br>Mera Alex</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; Dear Editor :<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>I am writing to highlight the difficult problems faced by our Karachieits due to the amount of traffic on the roads. Everyday at six pm in the afternoon there is too much traffic near the Tipu Sultan Bridge and it seems like all the vehicles are on top of each other. All types of vehicles are present there for example cars, motorcycle, trucks and Tankers. The reasons for this traffic is due to the amount of people who leave for their homes from their work at the same time and also because of the one way bridge people have to use to reach their homes. When there is construction and also when other ways are blocked it seems like a fish market.<br><br>There are a lot of solutions to these kind of problems which if a person implement some than he won have to face much difficulty. People could back and forth their timing and not go at the sameness time as others, this could create less traffic on the roads. Their should be a separate lane for buses and a different one for small cars this would lead to much less accidents. The roads should be widen. There should be a proper traffic police so people cannot break the signals. There should be proper car parking areas rather than people parking on the roads. There should be a strict punishment if one breaks the traffic rules so others cannot be influenced. There should be a separate lanes for ambulances as if they are in traffic the patient could be in serious condition.<br><br>These are my opinion of how the traffic in our country could be solved these will benefit our city a lot and people wouldn’t have to spend almost half of their day on roads waiting for the traffic to open. I hope you will publish this in the newspaper so people could follow these rules and the government can take an action on these solutions.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Fizzah Junaid&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Editor,<br>I am writing to you in order to highlight the traffic problem that most people in Karachi are facing every day and how it is severely impacting us in a negative way. The traffic problem is most evident during the afternoon when most people are coming from school and during the evening when most people are coming from work. It is also a very big issue closer to the city’s hub like the Central District of Karachi.&nbsp;<br><br>A way to fix this problem is to make more roads to disperse the people so the chances of traffic is less. Also we can encourage the use of carpooling or using buses or other local transport so that more people can take fewer vehicles to travel. Also people can walk or bike for short distances. One last way we can reduce traffic is introducing a rail system like other big cities such as Tokyo or New York. The rail system will allow many people to easily get around the city without using vehicles and this will decrease traffic.<br><br>The benefits of decreasing traffic are immense. It will reduce air pollution and global warming, people will be able to get around faster and without hassle or delay and space will be made for important activities such as ambulances and police cars traveling, this can save lives. Karachi is one of the most populated cities in the world, number 3 to be exact. With such a big population managing our traffic is a must in order to develop our city further and reduce the hassle that people face everyday.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Shahmir Khan</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Amna Aamir (continuation from first paragraph)<br>There is always a huge traffic jam on the whole street because cars keep coming. There are usually a lot of cars coming frequently to pick and drop customers and sometimes motor bikes which are always parked in the middle of the street so it is impossible to pass. There is also no signal on the road or anybody to guide the cars to where they should park because cars keep honking and blocking the road. There should also be a signal so that the road can have a bit of space left for cars to pass as the cars go in and out and park their wherever they want without seeing who is facing problems<br><br>Furthermore, this problem is not impossible to be solved. There are a lot of solutions to this problem. Such as, there should be a guard or a traffic police to stop and guide the cars which are blocking the road. Moreover, there can be a line which doesn't block the road or which starts from somewhere else. There should also be a signal on the road which needs to be guarded by the traffic police whether the cars are following the rules or not.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Editor,<br>&nbsp;I am writing this letter to express my concern over the traffic issues in Karachi. This issue is worsening day by day, with accidents and traffic jams happening frequently. Citizens are&nbsp; getting frustrated due to the time consuming journeys. Poor infrastructure , lack of signals and deficiency of implementing on traffic rules by the public leads the situation to even deteriorate at a colossal extent. Buses and autos especially on M.A Jinnah road during rush hour show an appalling disregard for any kind of traffic law. Buses stopping here and there, autos coming and going through and into every corner and side of the traffic imaginable, drivers getting into an ugly argument on the middle of the road etc., cause havoc for the daily commuter. It also seems that the concerned officers respond to the call of duty only when some minister is using particular road. I hope you do not construe my helplessness as rudeness.<br><br>I suggest that to to solve this problem traffic formulating new rules and ensure the rules are followed. Roads should be widened, and local transport should strictly observe their allotted routes. Only those vehicles should be allowed to come on the road, which are fit in all respects. Traffic Police and other concerned staff should be efficient and honest. Over speed should be checked and drivers found guilty should not be spared.&nbsp;<br><br>This would benefit to the community by ensuring punctuality of students and office workers at their institutions. It would also reduce the rate of accidents and death rate to a huge amount.<br><br>&nbsp;I hope that I was successful in bringing the problems of our area regarding traffic congestion to your attention. I also hope that it finds a place in the columns of your newspaper so that the issue can be brought to the notice of the concerned authority and general public.<br>Yours faithfully,<br>Anna Thompson<br><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear Editor<br>Recently I have noticed that there is a lot of traffic problems in streets, on main roads and traffic signals. Around 6pm there are a lot of cars in DHA phase 2.&nbsp;<br><br>This happens because people are not following the law. The people do not follow the signal and just rush away even if the signal is red. There are also less or no traffic police officers on various signals. If there are officers the drivers do not follow the instructions given by those officers.&nbsp;<br><br>The only way to solve this problem is that we should make more strict laws. If anyone is breaking the signal or over-speeding or any other thing like that there should be strict punishment for them. They should give the challan so that they do not break the law.&nbsp;<br><br>Your Sincerely<br>Chris John.</div>]]></description>
