DHA is within Karachi boundaries, no? Are you telling me its a separate city? City administration of Karachi oversees everything that goes on within the boundaries of Karachi. Seriously. How much more simpler does this have to get? All citizens in Karachi need clean water. The fact that Musharraf has invested SOOOO much money into some plant that benefits only the posh areas of the city is simply foolish and if Pakistanis don’t find a problem with this, then my good sir, let me make you aware, that THIS IGNORANCE is why Pakistan is where it is. No need to go around blaming anyone except yourselves.

Elitism. So surprising where you see it rear its head sometimes.

" A **serving Brigadier **heads the organization and is designated as the Administrator. The Administrator is the Chief Executive of the Authority and exercises all executive powers delegated or otherwise in accordance with the policy laid down by the Governing Body and decisions of the Executive Board."

It might be “within” Karachi and what not, but it is a “cantonment” sort of area which is under army control, not “civilian”. They have their own budget I believe. City Nazim Naimatullah doesn’t have any say in what DHA does with its money.

Now the discussion of eltism, army control of lands in Pakistan is a separate topic altogether. Should we have “elitism”? No! Should we have army’s city inside city? No. I do disagree on many issues. What I appreciated is the fact that atleast DHA administration is doing something for their residents, may Karachi Nazim should look into that and get something for people of his city.
