Here is how you complain about your telephone not working, Lahori style!
The banner in the picture reads:
We have been trying to get out PTCL number 042-6371795 fixed for the last six weeks, but without any success!
It is not clear whether putting up a banner to register your telephone complaint worked or not. But one can only imagine how desperate this person had to be that he resorted such extreme measures of spending money on the printing of this banner and then hoisting it on a busy city road. Or, maybe, he is just trying to make light of what has to be a really frustrating situation. As they say, “Lahore, Lahore hai!”

Very nice find. These pictures really make Pakistaniat.com a special place and reminds us of what REAL PAKISTAN is thinking about.
yaar the conditions are same everywhere even in karachi. i am paying an extra rs 2000 for the past 3months and there is no correction
I saw this in the paper when I was in Lahore last month and it was posted here as well.
