Container city

Container city

Islamabad is ranked as the world’s second most beautiful capital city after London, but the prevailing political situation has turned it into a ‘container city’. Commuters face traffic disruptions at least once or twice a month, in what has now become a frustrating routine. Recently, the police have taken extreme measures to prevent PTI protesters from reaching D-Chowk. While the government should come up with measures that do not cause distress to people, the PTI too should not to trouble people as they stage their anti-government rallies and protests. I call upon the government to prevent our beautiful capital city from this every day chaos. We cherish our city and its people, and want everyone to express their views without disrupting our daily lives.
