KARACHI: The government’s banning of religious processions in Quetta after the suicide attack on Sept 3 makes sense because of the serious security threat that they present. Other than that, when such demonstrations are held, commuters suffer a lot because of the fact that alternative traffic arrangements are either not bad or are so badly done that a massive mess is created.
