aye haye, ok here is the thing.
Ethically speaking, yes they are public servant, we have put them in that place, they should be protecting us, not the other way around.unfortunately that is the norm in Pakistan. Be it a CSP/ Bureaucrat/ Commisoner, SSP. ASP, they have forgotten the ethical value that they are meant to serve the general public, ease things are the public, not sit in their offices while a common man is standing in a long queue to get his problem sorted and only to face the wrath of 12 Grade clerk.
Coming back to the video, then as long as one is covered by the appropriate paper work, i dont see anything wrong with barriers, it it a public place , govt property or private....
I can post a snap of a Street / Road in Westridge in Rwp Cantt, where barriers have been placed, and the locals have sought the proper permission. The only issue was that road was being used by School van drivers at rush hours as a shortcut and causing problem for the locals...
Barriers are not even the question, If TuQ had appropriate paperwork then DCO/ Commissioner was on the wrong and should be punshed, after all orders mus have come from his office, and not the Police to remove the barriers
