The 'clean-up' of Empress Market doesn't have to be this way

[Kabira]

These traders are filthy rich i have only sympthaies to those who were employed by them

Yeah I don't get this, traders are not exactly poor. Labour will find jobs somewhere else, in legal shops for instance.

That’s a very slippery slope. Tomorrow someone powerful from Bahria/DHA May use these very arguments against old city neighbourhoods. Middle class people living in those areas also do not pay their fair share. Those unplanned portion of cities may not look aesthetically pleasing to powerful in near future.

we both know its not gonna happen . do you see video where bahria twon mall demolished ? its not only against poor . please stop playing this poor poor drama now . even bahria is grilled and 100s millions worth plazas villas demolished too . ghareeb hain to faimly plannign kareen apni or mulk ki life better kareen clean kerny ke koi pesy nhi lagty . look how they throw bones meat and blood just because they are poor ?

they demolished heart of bahria town

The encroachment drive has no business with PTI , Waseem Akhter or John Trivolta .. its the supreme court decision

It can be anybody's decision. It is ill-considered and poorly implemented. But my job is only to raise the issue. Keep pushing the poor into slums, you are collecting explosives for your own downfall. When the poor have had enough, that is when we will see true revolution.

cities are for those whom own them whom care them . how can be its their city if they make it like shitty slum ? please tell me the stalls in over the world look like this sh1t ? poor people make stalls in all over world but with some sense . if they own city they will not make it what its look like .

The poor don't have basic education. Those nice, clean markets you see are a result of many decades of education, planning, and continuous maintenance.

Educate them, create job opportunities and make it easy to start business. Everything will become better. Otherwise, you are merely pushing the problem so it acquires a critical mass.

You are listing problems while ignoring the solution. Today, the poor need as many helping hands as they can muster. More kids means more hands to fight for water at the pump, fend for the family against aggression, and scavenge for food. This is the reality of the poor. Start educating them and creating opportunities, and all of this will go away.

you talk as if Pakistan is a post-apocalyptic mad max like world.
what the people dont realize is that rather than having 6-7 children having 2-3 children means better investment and care on their children. the children wont grow up to do menial jobs but they through better education they can live a better lives for themselves and take care of their parents in a much better living environment
