Lahore is the most green city of pakistan after islamabad

IMO Islamabad is much better to be viewed in an open air environment...but then again, it doesn't have such a vibrant night-life or that many attractions as Lahore.

 

[ConcealCarry]

Islamabad has no history, Lahore has a lot of historic monuments/buildings etc

So, Punjab government is spending money on frivolous things, but if they were going to invest in yet another business they should have bought buses made in Pakistan.

These kinds of business only make money, when they are private, government workers have no incentive to work or make money as they will get paid regardless.

On one hand they are trying to privatize already Mammoth money losing crown corporations and on the other they are making more to lose more W.T.F.
