Pothole-riddled Gulistan-i-Jauhar roads turn daily travel into an exhausting ordeal Dawar Shoaib Published July 27, 2026 Email Your Name*Recipient Email*Cancel 0 Thousands of road users have to struggle daily to pass through what is left of the Pehalwan Goth Road. Although the locality is regarded as one of Karachi’s relatively upper-middle-class neighbourhoods and continues to expand with new residential and commercial development, many of its blocks, which have been fully developed for well over a decade, present a striking picture of neglect. Instead of reflecting the area’s continued growth, many of its main roads and internal streets remain scarred by broken surfaces, deep potholes and years of neglect, turning even routine journeys into an exhausting experience for residents.
