A CASE STUDY: LAHORE & KARACHI

TRANSPORT & INFRASTRUCTURE: 

LAHORE:

Lahore has now become a true metropolitan city of Pakistan with world class infrastructure and multimodal transport system consisting BRT, Orange line rail system, new-to-be Trams and existing low cost buses. 

With many ring-roads and network of Motorways around, the access to city points has become dreamy from all corners, A very well done all the previous and present PUNJAB GOVTS.

KARACHI:

Known as the city of lights, Karachi had wonderful, easy-to-connect all parts and cheap fare KARACHI CIRCULAR RAILWAY-KCR spanned over 70 KM is a glory of past and nightmare of today.

Karachi City and its Tram System were one of the finest in Asia alongside neat & clean yet, brilliantly managed transport system with the courtesy to PARSI MAYOR JAMSHED DINSHA. 

And, then came PPP in power of Sindh Province quite un-opposed for the last 4 decades taking this beautiful city along the whole province of SINDH to meet real Catastrophes and unfortunates in Education,Infrastructure,Civil bureaucracy, Politics and last but not least the meritocracy.

PAKISTAN:A SOCIETY OF PARASITES

PAKISTAN: A PRASITE SOCIETY. It won't be stunning to look on Pakistan society from altogether a different angle during the times of natural calamities or economical disasters in the country, segment-wise: ▪GOVERNMENTS, BOTH FEDERAL/PROVINCIAL. Interestingly, Federal government and provincial governments eagerly await deadly rains and floods in order to start raising begging bowls before rich Arab countries to receive zakats, donations and charities; that, instead of reaching out to affectees are straight away diverted to profiteers and approved hoarders of govt functionaries. ▪ POLITICIANS/BUREACRATS. The role of ministers,CMS and Civil bureaucracies is, not only pathetic and shameless but, inhuman and unkind too towards, the suffering humanity during calamitous and difficult times.  90% of the commodities received in aid from International Donors including, tents and food stuffs are directly sold out to profiteering and greedy class of businessmen on nominal rates. ▪INDUSTRIALISTS...

PAKISTAN'S ZOBIE POWER SECTOR

[Following Article written by renowned Pakistani Economist, taken from X with profound thanks] Pakistan's zombie power sector Zombie firms are firms that are fundamentally insolvent but are kept alive through subsidies from others. In simpler words, the cost of running these firms far exceeds what these firms can generate as revenue from fair market - yet they are kept alive through artificial life support. Zombie firms come straight from a horror movie - they stay alive by sucking the blood of healthy firms in the economy, killing more firms in the process.

The true market price of electricity should not be more than 8-9 cents per kWh (just look at neighboring India), but the governmen...

AMERICA:THE FALLING HOPE.

Fast rewind into American history when, it Atom bombed Hiroshima & Nagasaki, the two vibrant cities of Japan IN WW-2 killing, wounding and inflicting physical/mental disabilities upon more than 10 million innocent Japanese. Then came the worse massacre, an act of near-to-genocide of Vietnamese in Vietnam war to grab their resources in a failed attempt that was thwarted by valiant Vietnamese. Habitually American Establishments, the blood-suckers of poor, weak and dependent nations didn't stop there this time; making big strategic blunder and misadventured into Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan,the toughest and more resilient MUSLIM block countries where it faced with hundreds of thousands of fatalities counting to more than WWI, WW2 and Vietnam combined. Learning too little from its past & hard to fight face-off battles, American war-hawks came up with fresh approach to Fight-thru-Proxy, the ZIONIST ISRAEL,following the foot prints of IRANIAN STRATEGY, A FAILED ONE.  USA op...
