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
This discussion on this post has gone in an unintended direction :) I chose to share this post b/c i thought it was funny (and dangerous?) how this elephant has been temporarily supported. I am sure once the road is re-carpeted, this elephant will also get its feet on the ground :)
As far as development priorities in the city, i agree with a commentator that clean drinking water should take priority over building fountains.
I however, do not agree that building new parks should not be a priority. I believe Parks and Open Spaces are as much needed for a healthy population as any other utilities.
