The Streets Part 2




The new government of Nepal has decided that the city is in a need of wider streets. As a result of this decision long parts of one of the city's main streets have loosed their pavements. The pedestrians have no other choice as to walk on the road, where bikes and cars are rushing by mere centimeters from them.

Those, who risk walking the ruins of the pavements, from time to time encounter large, uncovered holes in the ground marking the sewerage pipes. One careless step or a glance other than on the road, and a small kid could vanish under the ground, while an adult could end up with a broken or bruised leg.
