This picture is of an important city in Pakistan. Can you guess which? And whether you can or not, what strikes you as being wrong with this picture?
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

I think it is Muzaffarabad. I may be wrong.
yet more comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “New York City”
– “Cairo city”
– “balakot? no civic amenities!!!”
– “balako or muzafarabad! abay bhai bolo b to sahi konsa hai!”
– “excuse me if its a stupid guess but ” Madina Munawara ” pata naheen just had an intution”
– “Abbottabad”
Owais, While we are at it, I don’t see any flattened structures or may be my eyes have given up.. My guess is still the Swat City of Mingora. Let’s see..
Adnan Ahmed bhai. good point. i don’t see any people or vehicles in the photo. That points it to be one of the EQ struck cities. I want to say Balakot but i remember Balakot has raging river kunhar that flows through it and i don’t see the river here – unless this is a view looking away from Kunhar.
Some more comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “Sheikhupura no way…maybe one of the October earthquake struck city.”
– “Mansehra…. effected duo to earthquake”
– “MEnsehra ..i guesss”
– “i think it is balakot”
– “Its Muzzafrabad”
– “???”
