Recently, while strolling in Sharjah, I noticed a pile of sharp iron pipes lying on the sidewalk of an alley. This sidewalk is located on King Faisal Road near a major supermarket. These types of pipes are not only a safety concern to people walking by, but it also spoils the area’s look.
Whoever is responsible for these pipes should understand that these materials could injure someone, especially children. I have seen a lot of teenagers using this sidewalk to go to the nearby ice cream shop. Any of them could get hurt. I urge the authorities to take action against such practices.
