Death traps

Death traps

It has been reported that a boy drowned in an open manhole near a children’s hospital in Lahore where he was brought for treatment. This is an utter tragedy. Cast-iron gutter covers are often stolen and sometimes replaced with plastic covers, which are not as robust, or simply left open. We have to crackdown on this theft and ensure that no man hole remains uncovered.
