Problems
Uncleanliness and illegal shops are the major problems of Model Town. One of the biggest problems was the damaged Kahuta/Sehala road. The road has been constructed but it only consists of a singly two lane road. After the construction of the road, the biggest emerging problem is constant parking of trucks and trailers on both side of road which makes it congested and unsafe.
During the construction of Kahuta/Sehala road, the heavy traffic used the inner roads of Model Town as alternative route which destroyed the inner roads of Model Town.
