Sir: It irks the public when the people cannot reach their destinations on time. It gives a very wrong impression if one is going for an important meeting or an interview. This is a common routine now in Karachi. Even if one starts early, the roadblocks, which can be set up for various reasons such as protests, will make one very late. I came from abroad recently and it was common that authorities concerned used to make announcements on the radio or any electronic media about roadblocks so that travellers could use alternate routes. This saves the time of the traveller and people can also inform those waiting for them that they will be late. This can serve as face saving as well. It is requested of the Karachi authorities to please make some announcements so that we can save our time.
