Some space for the dead
An area as large as Clifton does not have a single graveyard, while the one which is in Defence is more or less full.
KARACHI: Anyone who follows Karachi’s development will have noticed that in recent years a number of malls have been built and developed. However, it seems that the city’s planners do not have any idea of how little space is left in the city’s graveyards, or even hospitals for that matter. An area as large as Clifton does not have a single graveyard, while the one which is in Defence is more or less full.
Would the authorities concerned please look into this matter and provide some space for the dead?

Shh. Dont disturb the powers at DHA, who are too busy making amends to perfectly working roads with their half brained one-way ideas drawn obviously from the front lines. They have no time for such trivial things as making long term development plans.
