Your blog is biased , fabricated and misleading. Actual blog is based on liveablities factor and only karachi has been slected as liveable city from Pakistan, while you are mentioning Karachi is the least liveable city. Where do you place Lahore or Islamabad????it would be better attach original story here instead of cut and paste by fabricating yourself with dishonesty.
Rizwan Basically in the last ten years a huge amount of Karachities have been shifted to Islamabad and Lahore, specially to Islamabad, and my many friends from Karachi had said to me that KHI is no more liveable any more. Let’s not be harsh and accept the reality that PPP and the people there ruined that beautiful city. I live in Karachi for 7 years and I still love to go to KHI on vacations but you can’t change the facts brother. Law and order, cleanliness, roads infrastructure is pathetic there. But it’s still love and we have to bring KHI to it’s best IA.
MashaAllah…. Achievements,achievements ❣️
Jiya bhutto for bringing us into the top 10 !
