Re: up to date city reports on law and order situation

in Karachi my 2 mamoons have made it to my parents home since they cant get to their homes. we still have 3 cousins unaccounted for. the directions to everyone are to make way to the closest home ..friends, family, colleagues they can make it to. My mamoons dont live in pakistan one has been overseas for 25 years theother for 15 or so, they are no longer used to the city so were pretty freaked out.

Re: up to date city reports on law and order situation

Army is very much needed to control the riots, otherwise the whole country will be burnt

Re: up to date city reports on law and order situation

Thye purpose of the army is to protect the nation from all threats - external and internal. Right now we need them to come out and assert their force in keeping law and order. Otherwise, all of our money (40% plus of our budget) spent on these ....s is going to waste.
