This drain cover near a college in Peshawar collapsed in less than 24 hours

What happened: A journalist named Muhammad Faheem took to his Twitter account where he posted a video from the site in front of Municipal Degree for Women, Peshawar and wrote, “Contractor completed the project on Sunday and it fell on Monday. It was unable to be sustained for even 24 hours.” In the video, Faheem captured a deep drain, with its cover fallen and concrete still wet.

Details: The drain happens to be located within a busy area which observes a lot of commuters daily. This could be dangerous as it threatens the lives of many people. One of the users named Sultan Khan Yousufzai (Twitter/Sultank52140629) implied that this not due to lack of resources but the incompetency of the contractor. Why it matters: The community is enraged at the negligence as they are mostly worried about school kids who travel through the road. Some of the netizens are demanding for the contractor to be punished, “The contractor should be in jail and penalized,” wrote Asif Jamal.
