Five regional cities should be upgraded with in the provinces in Pakistan. Regional cities of Dera Ismail Khan in NWFP, Gawadar/ Qalat in Balouchistan, Sukkar/ Larkana in Upper Sind, Jehlam/ Rawalpindi and Multan in Punjab province. These regional cities have been ignored by the federal and provincial governments although these cities have their own history, culture and languages. The people of these regions have to travel to provincial capitals for every small issue and requirement of the daily life which should be provided in nearby cities. A good number of population travel to big cities for their survival to earn livelihood as the local feudal own majority land. Creation of regional government and upgrading of the regional cities will save a lot of money and time of the poor people of these regions. Circuit courts of the High Courts are already working in these areas and only requirement is the additional staff of different departments involved in additional work at the provincial capitals. The concern authorities should immediately consider to upgrade the regional cities. And immediate attention should be given upgrade the airports, hospitals, educational institutes and investment opportunities for Pakistanis living abroad and foreign firms to create jobs in the area.

i am from india….i dont know if i am supposed to give my view’s on this forum….but what i belive is that..there should be increased stress on pakistans economy…thats the only way pakistan can become more confident and independent in making its decisions….pakistan should mordenise its nuke arsenal(just in case)..but should stop spending so much money on conventional weapon’s…and spend stuff to develop infrastructure…mordenise education to use its rich workforce…initially pakistans economy was doing better then indian economy because of freakin red tape politics…..but now things have changed drastically….personally i would have liked to see a economically strong pakistan…so that our leaders can feel ashamed and work for betterment of the nation……and i belive there has to be synergy between india,pakistan,srilanka,nepal,mynmar for collective development of south-east asia….we as nations may have many differences but i know that we share much more similarities then diff for 50 years we have been brainwashed against each other….it may take 50years to cement the ties…we were known as golden bird for last 2500yrs there is no reason that golden bird cant rise again from the ashes of time…like a phoenix……………….no offence to ny one….peace and love brothers

@ Amir Ali, I agree with you, all those people who are supporting these Taliban and making them heros are actually part of this terrorism. I can never think of supporting these people who are actually cutting the roots of our country in the name of their self created version of Islam.
I’m not showing hatred towards the poor soldiers and low rank officers(Colonel and below) of army. That’s why i used the word General not Army. These generals used soldiers and low rank officers in their game of money. I didn’t say all generals but most of them specially the four i mentioned, as we do have good people like Late Gen.Jamshid Gulzar Kiani.
Think of the role of Ayub, yahya, Zia and Mushraf and how they have destroyed our country and nation
