A sewage well collapsed, creating a hole in the middle of the street in one of Masjed Soleyman’s neighborhoods. It happened a long time ago and we have contacted the municipality several times but they have just ignored it. People in the neighborhood have tried to fill the hole with tires, wood and sandbags. The hole is particularly dangerous at night and can cause cars and motorbikes to overturn. After they lost hope in the municipality, people’s attempts to fill the hole with various objects has now created new problems. If one day the municipality does actually decide to fix it, it will encounter unforeseen difficulties.
