Husnain khalid | 3 years ago | Reply People have suffered alot facing unemployment there numerous of bereaved families. When there s unemployment crime rate alao grows such as looting killings etc. Almost all the countries in the world have lifted ban on traveling abroad. Pakistan s economy rate is stumbling already inflation is leading to starvation. Pakistan s Govt shouldn t impose ban on air travel anymore. This is childish.
