Indifferent Attitude of people in qatar!

I wonder how indifferent are the authorities so are the general public to the agony caused by the recent marathon constructions happening in qatar. A fine moring when you are driving to workplace you find the road infront is blocked there is no signboard or person guiding you to the alternative route, am sure manny of you must have come across such situation.The pace of work on civic amenities like road should be carried on war footing in cities. The apathy shown is unparalleled even to eunuchs..

They have no sence of oganization or resposibility, all the government sectors should be in contact all the time even to worn the drivers or putting signs.

Hi Qatari,

I went to the Heels and Wheels yesterday afternoon at the Corniche, and due to the road shut downs in and out of the corniche due to the construction - it took an hour for taxis to arrive, then 40 minutes from Corniche to Mushariab.

They should atleast give warning in the paper of road closures and alternate routes instead of just closing it.

They just closed the Jaidah Roundabout - no signs, no nothing. The whole of Bin Mahmoud is chocked.

Why doesn't the Municipality just shut down the whole damn city for a 6 months and fix all the roads....

It could be worse.

I remember in 1982 that the only two exits from our lane were dug up at the same time. It took 48 hours to get some sort of action
