Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

read up a featured article on National Geographic Magazinze (ill find you the link) from a few months ago. there are several large parts of the city of mumbai that are slums, well below the poverty line. the divide between rich and poor is quite evident in the city

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Right you are. It now a biggest Bhanghi Parha of the world. From cleanliness, mixing of drinking water to sewers, traffic jams every where, pollution, etc on the top is a safe haven for criminals like MQM the Buthers. Comparing NY to Karachi is comparing gadhay with ghorhay.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

All this being true, we still have people from all over Pakistan who keep on migrating to Karachi. There areas must be worse than slums.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

so thats the best you can come up with? (for the city of your country I assume? )

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Karachi makes up 60% of the Pakistani GDP. Karachi is one of the economic successes of Pakistan, hence the migration of people to Karachi.

Karachi is buzzing at the moment.

God Bless Pakistan. :jhanda:

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

^ About 10%.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Business and GDP can make Faisalabad a one of the top cities too, but sadly thats not how it is… Here is how Karachi was ranked a few years ago in the best cities to live in:

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

LOL, Ho Chi Minh is ranked better than Isloo.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

^ Apparently you forgot to see where Karachi is ranked, ranked below Dhakka! LOL!

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

I already saw where Karachi was. But when most modern Pakistani city is ranked below Ho Chi Ming, Hanoi, and Colombo, that was no surprise. It's like two beggars fighting.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Mubarak ho hamara Lahore bazi laygaya.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Islamabad is at number 157.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Indian cities are better placed.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

because they are inhabited by likes of Musharraf, Chodhries, Fazal Diesels, MQM goons, JI goons etc. :devil:

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Come on man, in the 80s and 90s Islamabad was pretty decent, it was clean, green, crime free, quiet, amazing weather, planned, decent roads, mountains, you name it it had everything... im still in touch with alot of foriegners, who went to school with me and their parents were ambassadors/dig and they still recall how much they loved living in islamabad... its still the best place in pakistan to live in by a long shot, but certainly not as good as it used to be after they started cutting down the trees and expanding it... Property has sky rocketed there, we had bought cheap plots in F-11, and E-11 in the early 80s and we were shocked as to how much it had gone up in the last 20 years...

I miss Isloo a lot! My golden days in 1990-1992.

Re: Former US President Clinton gives Karachi a clean ‘bill’ of health.

Passing through the Lower Richmond Road, Putney, London reminded of my old memories of Isloo.
