I am surprised .... actually I am NOT surprised to see because its not first time when PTI Babies have highlighted the lines of their own interest in news and tried to show a negative image of a good work.
Maybe not for Pakistani readers but anyone who lives abroad knows that this system is already implemented there from years. You need an approval from city to start any public project, can't just start digging the road one fine morning. Actually lets not even talk about public development, maybe it will be a surprised for a lot of you guys that in LONDON you need approval to make modifications in your OWN house. Do you get it .... in your OWN house. In other countries like US / Canada for commercial development you have to apply for license/approval from city govt before start construction.
Now please don't say that is west & we are talking about Pakistan because west also developed that some system, maybe 100 years ago but they started at some point. This is why you will never see that Road Dept carpeted the road, next day gas/water work department & screw the road again for their work.
This is why there is a regularity authority (city) which monitors everything and make sure that end users (public) shouldn't face any problems.
I tried to give a reasonable & logical explanation of the idea behind this news BUT
hathon main khujli tu hau he rahi hai na aur mirchi lagaane ka dil bhi chah raha hai tu bhai logo ... Jinko lahore se problem hai woh yahan NAHI ayen na, stay where ever you live in the way you want to live, We, Lahoris are not dying to see BURGERS in our streets anyways. (bigsmile)
