India Developing, but still a long way to go

[gslv mk3]

Lol, typical Pakistani hyperbole.

Only reality as seen by myself!

Sure, I believe you.

[QUOTEMore culture, less poverty, superior infrastructure, much superior Urban organization, more greenary, more affluence, more authentic and diverse cuisine and overall an unmatched vibe...

Writing "Delhi has better infrastructure than Lahore" is easy..but reality is shameful for shitty indian cities

Your dear Lahore is ranked lowest among all world cities in Mercer's quality of living survey. It was ranked 199, when New Delhi was ranked 161.

The truth is that your Lahore doesn't even have a proper public transport infrastructure or airport. Talking about affluence, your Lahore is still a gamma world city while Delhi was classified as an alpha world city. Anyway p

Please show me some infrastructure in your Lahore which is even comparable to Delhi Metro, Airport or road network. There aren't any.

Only 25% of Delhi's population lives in planned areas...while majority of the Delhi's population lives in slums, jhuggis, and so on and as a whole, Delhi is extremely dirty because there's no organized sanitation in these slums where majority of the people actually live and 75% of city's garbage goes on streets...

Quite rich coming from a Pakistani. 45% of Pakistani urban population lives in slums compared to 24% of India's urban population.

Further, according to the available figures...Delhi's per capita income in 2013 was $3,000 or so...Lahore per capita income is more double than this

Lol, you probably mistook PPP figures for Nominal ones. I would love to see a source.

Simple wikipedia glossover for both cities establishes Lahore's superiority over indian cities quite easily..It's not hard buddy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi

Please stop comparing delhi to Lahore. It's an insult to the greatest city of South Asia bar none.

Indeed, I had a look at this pic & was flabbergasted.

Pakistan as a whole has less poverty (2015 multidimensional poverty Index of UNDP), much better sanitation (worldbank 2016), much higher percentage of population having access to clean water source (90% of population, WB), and overall a more urbanized society with higher percentages of people living in cities, using internet, and so on compared to india...

Yet Pakistan is classified as a low HDI country with a HDI score of 0.538 while India is classified as a medium HDI country with a score of 0.609. 22% of Pakistanis are undernourished compared to 15% of Indians. Indians have better access to improved water sources. Let's not even talk about your pathetic performance in educational & healthcare standards.

According to 2015 WEF competitiveness report, 18% of Indians use Internet compared to 13.8% Pakistanis.

Anyway you should wait until WB releases new data on poverty using their MMRP method. I am sure that results wouldn't be positive for you folks.

Furthermore per capita GDP of Pakistan is still better than india's (when you compare two economies with 2010 as calculation base. Right now, wikipedia shows Pakistani GDP per capita with Pakistani economy based on 1998 as the base-calculation year, while india has 2010 as its base year)

Again, wrong. The base year for Pakistan's GDP was updated as 2005-6 some years back. Indian GDP was calculated using 2004-2005 as base year until 2014.

Even then, there is a clear difference between India & Pakistan in both PPP & Nominal terms and India leads. Data for 2014, world bank.

India GDP (PPP) per capita - $5672.2
Pakistan GDP (PPP) per capita - $4,828.9

and we also boast a much stronger military machine on per million person per sq kilometer basis.

Yes, you can boast about spending 18% of your annual budget on military, while your literacy rate decreases.

There is a reason Pakistan is consistently ranked higher than india when it comes to Happiness-Index which takes into account over-all quality of life in a given country taking into account a various factors such as GDP per capita, urbanization, income inequality, healthcare quality, literacy rates, quality of education, security, sanitation, access to clean water, poverty, social cohesion, and many more.

Wow, so the happiness index counts, not the HDI. So predictable. Now here is how your happiness index is calculated.

''The 2016 Report includes the ranking of 157 countries based on survey data from 2013 to 2015. Each country had an average sample size of 3,000 people who answered questions pertaining to six variables: gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, healthy life expectancy, social support, freedom, generosity and absence of corruption.''

Now if you had checked, Somalia is ahead of Pakistan, India & even the most developed South Asian nation -Sri Lanka. So much for credibility.

Now, you can go back to ranting about imaginary dreamy world of urs where Pakistan will become the supa powa aided by CPEC and not a low HDI shit-hole with 22% malnutrition...

Nothing better can be expected from a troll like you.

Delhi Metro Phase-3: A feat of engineering

Abhinav Rajput, Hindustan Times, New Delhi | Updated: Aug 19, 2016 16:52 IST

At the Kalkaji interchange station, the DMRC has used the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) between Kalkaji Mandir and Okhla Phase-III. (HT File)

In four months from now, most of the Delhi Metro stations constructed under
Phase-3 would be thrown open for commuters. Thousands of professionals
including engineers, architects, managers, skilled and unskilled labourers have
put in endless hours of work to give a world-class experience to commuters in
the Delhi Metro. The construction of four interchange stations in south Delhi
was a challenging task as two lines meet here.

Kalkaji Mandir

The Kalkaji Mandir Metro station is all set to emerge as a premier interchange
hub after the completion of Phase 3 with direct connectivity to Faridabad and
Noida. The new station will be 17m deepwhereas the present station is an
elevated one. A foot overbridge (FoB), about 260m long, will connect the paid
area of the new station with the old.

The new station will have an upper concourse in addition to the main
concourse. Trial runs have begun on this section between Kalindi Kunj and
Kalkaji Mandir last week. Kalkaji Mandir on the Janakpuri West-Botanical
Garden corridor is being developed as interchange station so that commuters
travelling from Gurgaon on the Yellow Line can avoid Rajiv Chowk and change
trains at Hauz Khas to travel to south Delhi and Noida.

“We have used the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) between Kalkaji
Mandir and Okhla Phase-III on the Magenta Line to pass below the presently
operational Nehru Place-Kalkaji elevated section of the Mandi House-Badarpur
Metro corridor (Violet Line),” he said.

The tunnel between Kalkaji Mandir and Okhla Phase III passes below piers 135
and 136 of the Violet Line and the distance between the two piers is 28m. It
would have been impossible to construct twin tunnels within such space.
Therefore, a decision was taken to construct a single tube twin tunnel through
which both the tracks will pass using the NATM technology, he said.

Also, tunneling was required for only a short stretch of 176m. Therefore, it
would have been inconvenient and time consuming to insert a Tunnel Boring
Machine (TBM) and construct separate shafts for insertion and retrieval of the
TBM, he added.

This is the first platform of Delhi Metro where commuters will get direct access to an underground platform. (Virendra Singh Gosain / HT File)

INA

INA will be an interchange station between two lines — the under construction
Mukundpur-Yamuna Vihar metro corridor and the existing Yellow Line (Huda
City Centre-Samaypur-Badli).

This is the first platform of Delhi Metro where commuters will get direct access
to an underground platform unlike other interchange stations like Rajiv Chowk,
where people have pass through the concourse of the Metro station (where two
access to platforms meet) if they want to go to the underground platform. It
was a huge challenge here as the new station is being built over the existing
Metro tunnel that connects INA with AIIMS along the Yellow Line.

There are going to be three levels in this underground interchange station – the
platform for Pink Line, the concourse and the platform for the Yellow Line. It is
for the first time that a station is being built over the existing tunnel connecting
the operational Metro stations.

“Commuters who have to change trains at INA will get direct access to the new
line through the concourse below the new platform, which is being built at a
depth of only seven metres from the ground,” said an official of DMRC.

The DMRC had to execute this major design change as there was a sizeable
height variation between the existing INA station and the upcoming station.
“The DMRC had to modify the station design to adjust to the new
circumstances,” the official said.

Cut and cover tunnel technology is being used in the existing operational
tunnel. “If you see the layout of the two Metro corridors, they form a plus sign.
So, there is one point where trains of both the lines and the concourse will
simultaneously operate on top of each other,” he said.

The new Hauz Khas station will be the first one to have five levels. There will be three intermediate levels followed by a concourse and a roof. (Sanjeev Verma / HT File)

Hauz Khas

The Hauz Khas Metro station will be a major interchange point between the
Yellow Line and the upcoming Magenta Line between Janakpuri to Botanical
Garden corridor.

Constructed 29 metres below the ground, the new Hauz Khas station has
surpassed Chawri Bazar station built at a depth of 25 metres. The new Hauz
Khas station will also be the first one to have five levels. There will be three
intermediate levels, followed by a concourse and a roof. At present, Metro
stations in Delhi and NCR have a maximum of three levels.

“For the construction of the new station, it was not possible to go below the
existing station as its foundation was just 32 metres deep and it is surrounded
by the Outer Ring Road. Therefore, if the new station had to be constructed
below the existing station, we would have to go deep up to 42 metre. So, the
265m-long new station was built adjacent to the existing station at a depth of
29m. A subway has been built to connect the new and the old stations,” said a
DMRC official.

Right now, there is a subway in the unpaid area of the station. The same will be
converted into a paid subway connecting the old and new stations. It will be
40m long and 12m wide.

After the inauguration of this link, the approximate commute time between
Huda City Centre and Botanical Garden after changing the train at Hauz Khas
will be about 50 minutes. Presently, it takes about 1.5 hours from Huda City
Centre to Botanical Garden after interchanging at Rajiv Chowk.

The upcoming station is underground so passengers can take the FoB, currently under construction, to go to the first floor of existing station. (Tribhuwan Sharma / HT File)

Lajpat Nagar

The Lajpat Nagar Metro station on the ITO-Faridabad corridor (Violet Line) is
being converted into an interchange station to connect with the upcoming Majlis
Park-Shiv Vihar corridor. With the opening of this station, commuters coming
from Shakurpur, Punjabi Bagh, Rajouri Garden or Mayapuri in west Delhi and
north Delhi’s Majlis Park, Azadpur or Shalimar Bagh areas will be able to travel
directly to Lajpat Nagar.

In addition, they will be able to change trains here to go to Faridabad or
Janpath, Mandi House and Old Delhi areas like Delhi Gate, Jama Masjid, Red
Fort, Kashmere Gate. The new station at Lajpat Nagar will be underground and
will be connected with the existing elevated station through a 90m long foot
overbridge (FoB).

“Due to space constraints as there is a market, a busy road and the existing
station, the two stations have not been interlinked,” said a DMRC official.
Ideally, at most of the interchange stations, the two stations are linked
internally and new station is usually constructed below the existing one.

“Since we did not have space below the existing station, the gate of new station
will be around 100 metre away from the existing one. The upcoming station is
underground so when passengers will come from there, they can take the FoB,
currently under construction, to go to the first floor of existing station,” he
added.

The new station will be 15m deep while the existing station is at a height of
about 12m. The new station will have two additional entry/exit points catering
to the Lajpat Nagar market as well as residential areas. Another entry/exit
point will also be provided near the entry/exit point of the existing station.

Lol, typical Pakistani hyperbole.

.

That airport looks like Kanpur Central railway Station

 

[gslv mk3]

Another good picture of the Delhi Airport Metro Express

 

[Bombaywalla]

Indeed, I had a look at this pic & was flabbergasted.

You're clueless. The fact that Lahore's terminal was built in the Mughal style of architecture, makes it better automatically. What do you know?

 

[gslv mk3]

The fact that Lahore's terminal was built in the Mughal style of architecture,

Anything Islamic is better than secular/ hindu stuff. Yeah I know.

 

[rishav]

i dont know what is the problem with us indians ! why do we feed the trolls ? plz LET IT GO

 

[AUz]

Lol, typical Pakistani hyperbole.

Only facts seen by my own eyes and hell, acknowledged by my indian-American friends as well.

But then again, it's typical of indians to hide their embarrassment and peddle bullsh!t stories in the mean time..

I have been to delhi and Lahore. You've never been to one city and just making value judgments bc its too hard for your little ego to accept the fact that we have created better cities--thanks to our decades-along lead on you in terms of GDP (purchasing power) per capita and income levels.

The truth is that your Lahore doesn't even have a proper public transport infrastructure or airport.

Have you even been to Lahore or even looked at new pics?!

In Pakistan, we are protesting that Lahore is being turned into concrete castle because of all the construction, flyovers, roads, and what not..you think there's no airport or proper public transport system there?

Sure, as I said..rants are easy.

Quite rich coming from a Pakistani. 45% of Pakistani urban population lives in slums compared to 24% of India's urban population.

Yeah, we have more slums than india?!?!

As explained earlier...there are no "slums" like that we have in india..Our "kachi abadis" are rated as slums but they are more of suburbs. "Slums" in Pakistan have concrete housing, proper sanitation, clean water, and hell really good schools as well.

That is why you must look at more nuanced measurements..For example, Multidimensional poverty Index (MPI) look at the intensity of poverty and makes accurate assessment than broad categories such as "slum"...which fanboys like you use to soothe your soul..

One area has jhuggis...no toilet...they poop/pee in open together..fool of extreme poverty...(indian slum) while one area has concrete houses, paved roads, schools, television sets in individual homes, proper sanitation and watering systems, and basically a middle-class area with name "kachi abadi" and is regarded as "slum"...

You think it's the same?

THAT is why UNDP (most latest and most detailed U.N development measurement program) established MPI to measure the actual levels of poverty in countries (for example "american poor" is better than our middle class. Stating American poor and African poor in one line is factual fallacy and doesn't reveal the actual human condition).

So in MPI and extreme poverty measurement reports by world institutions..the reality was revealed. Pakistan was way, way ahead of india and had much, much better income levels, housing, sanitation, and life overall.

http://www.cgdev.org/blog/global-absolute-poverty-fell-almost-half-tuesday

Look at this, report on extreme poverty where humans suffer with severe lack of resources, opportunity, sanitation, and so on (actual slum conditions!)

Result:

20 times more indians live in absolute poverty than Pakistanis

Indeed, I had a look at this pic & was flabbergasted.

Picture doesn't do justice.

Our airport is far classier in real life. It was purposefully designed to reflect Mughal architecture and our Islamic inheritance whereby we were the dominating force ruling hindus for 1000 years So it's cool! It was our first try hehe

Also, Lahore's airport was build almost a decade earlier than Delhi's airport's only modern part (which looks a bit modern) was built in 2010 (terminal 3)...before that, your airport was literally the ugliest, dirtiest shitbag. I remember there used to be steel glasses IN THE AIRPORT for water!! (Any indian old enough will testiy it).

And btw, looks are subjective. Both airports are equally advance with being the only two airports to be equipped with CAT IIIB instrument landing system..

Yet Pakistan is classified as a low HDI country with a HDI score of 0.538 while India is classified as a medium HDI country with a score of 0.609.

Yeah, you do know we haven't had our census and widescale economic base measurement since 1998!!! A LOT of sectors aren't even included in our measurements of HDI...the data is rudimentary at best. Once our actual data is in (hopefully in next couple of years)--then we can talk about comparisons like these. Right now, all the data are guesstimates of NGOs which are highly unreliable considering the mamoth size of Pakistan with 200 million people.

Official figures are comprehensive and will reveal actual situation on ground (which has progressed by leaps and bounds in last decade--about which the data isn't even recorded officially!)

Indians have better access to improved water sources.

Source?

Let's not even talk about your pathetic performance in educational

Yes, this is where india is better than us. No doubt.

We'll try to catch up in upcoming decades with achieving atleast 85%+ literacy rate by 2030-35

Again, wrong. The base year for Pakistan's GDP was updated as 2005-6 some years back. Indian GDP was calculated using 2004-2005 as base year until 2014.

Even then, there is a clear difference between India & Pakistan in both PPP & Nominal terms and India leads. Data for 2014, world bank.

India GDP (PPP) per capita - $5672.2
Pakistan GDP (PPP) per capita - $4,828.9

Wrong.

The government initiated the program to change the base year to 2005-06 and some independent thinktanks did do some modelling in this regard---but the exercises was never carried through . Pakistan's economy is still based on 2000 as base year.

Look it up.

Wow, so the happiness index counts, not the HDI. So predictable. Now here is how your happiness index is calculated..

Happiness index is broader than HDI, and yes, it is reflective of a nation's living situation more wholestically. You do realize that Happiness Index isn't some NGO playing fun games (like most of your supporting sources! lol)..It is a U.N sanctioned program conducted under the supervision of top experts and analysts..

Now if you had checked, Somalia is ahead of Pakistan, India & even the most developed South Asian nation -Sri Lanka. So much for credibility

Atleast check before you write lies.

"Six key factors were measured to establish a global ranking of the happiest countries; GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and prevalence of corruption"

So as you see, a very wholistic and complete measurement of living conditions in a country. Now in which world somalia will rank higher than Srilanka on these measurements?

Infact, Somalia does NOT rank higher than either Pak, or india, or Srilanka..

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/21/travel/world-happiness-report-africa/

Look, Somalia is at 133...india is at 118...Pakistan is 90 etc...

Seems pretty accurate!

Sorry, but your country was a sh!thole and remains a sh!thole with extreme poverty and poor human living conditions.

Thank God for Pakistan

Only facts seen by my own eyes and hell, acknowledged by my indian-American friends as well.

Stop making things up. Maybe you should preach this to EIU, Mercers and every organization that makes those 'cities by liveability' lists where Pakistani cities are ranked the lowest.

thanks to our decades-along lead on you in terms of GDP (purchasing power) per capita and income levels.

Logic fail. Government spending on infrastructure or anything depends upon its budget which in turn depend upon revenues. Have you ever noticed abysmally low tax to GDP ratio for Pakistan?

Indians cities have boomed in the post- liberalization period with building of new infrastructure such as Metros, airports or flyovers.

For example, 7 Indian cities have operational metro networks, 7 more have them under construction & some 20 more projects have been approved. Total projected costs for new metro projects alone is a whopping $74 billion.

CWG was a shot in the arm for Delhi. Delhi Metro is an engineering marvel appreciated by all. Can Pakistan ever come up with anything similar? See this 2007 news report.

Crossrail can be as good as Delhi Metro, says London Mayor
ROSS LYDALL, CITY HALL EDITOR
Tuesday 20 November 2007

Ken Livingstone: A fan of the Delhi Metro
Londoners should travel to Delhi if they want a preview of what Crossrail will be like, Ken Livingstone said.

The Mayor believes the Indian capital's modern underground system is the perfect model for the £16 billion high-speed line that is due to open in 2017.

Mr Livingstone and transport commissioner Peter Hendy were impressed when they toured the Delhi Metro this morning as part of their week-long visit to India.

The system, which carries 600,000 passengers a day - compared with four million on the Tube - boasts air-conditioned trains, spacious stations, smart-card ticketing, security scanners, armed guards, CCTV cameras, 100 per cent punctuality and some of the cheapest fares in the world.

Mr Livingstone said: "This is exactly the model we would want for Crossrail - much bigger, wider trains running on really smooth surfaces. This is what we will see in London when we open Crossrail in 10 years. It's just so much more comfortable."

In Pakistan, we are protesting that Lahore is being turned into concrete castle because of all the construction, flyovers, roads, and what not..you think there's no airport or proper public transport system there?

Sure, as I said..rants are easy.

How does you protesting again some infrastructure project put you ahead of Delhi in Infrastructure? Here is a glimpse of Delhi's infrastructure.

Delhi Metro (213 km, 160 stations)

Delhi Metro is the world's 12th largest metro system in terms of both length and number of stations. 160 km more of track length will be added before December 2016, bringing total length to 370 km.

Delhi Airport Metro Express

^express line to airport similar to Beijing & Singapore

Delhi BRTS/high capacity buses (feeder to Metro)

Upcoming Delhi RRTS (high speed commuter rail like Paris Rapid rail)

Now I am not going to talk about expressways & elevated roads as their are plenty of them.

Yeah, we have more slums than india?!?!

As explained earlier...there are no "slums" like that we have in india..Our "kachi abadis" are rated as slums but they are more of suburbs. "Slums" in Pakistan have concrete housing, proper sanitation, clean water, and hell really good schools as well.

The definition for slums do not depend upon your whims & rants.

"UN-HABITAT defines a slum household as a group of individuals living under the same roof in an urban area who
lack one or more of the following:

1. Durable housing of a permanent nature that protects against extreme climate conditions.
2. Sufficient living space which means not more than three people sharing the same room.
3. Easy access to safe water in sufficient amounts at an affordable price.
4. Access to adequate sanitation in the form of a private or public toilet shared by a reasonable number of
people.
5. Security of tenure that prevents forced evictions."

Yeah, you do know we haven't had our census and widescale economic base measurement since 1998!!! A LOT of sectors aren't even included in our measurements of HDI...the data is rudimentary at best. Once our actual data is in (hopefully in next couple of years)--then we can talk about comparisons like these. Right now, all the data are guesstimates of NGOs which are highly unreliable considering the mamoth size of Pakistan with 200 million people.

Now when the data is not favourable for Pakistan, you're blaming the data. . The low HDI score of Pakistan is not the result of having lower per capita income or something but abysmal performance in education & healthcare sectors.

Please do check how Bangladesh is doing in HDI score with a far lower GDP per capita.

Picture doesn't do justice.

Our airport is far classier in real life.
Also, Lahore's airport was build almost a decade earlier than Delhi's airport's only modern part (which looks a bit modern) was built in 2010 (terminal 3)...

Typical non sense. Lahore is not in the same league as Delhi IGI airport, which is South Asia's largest Aviation hub, have 3 runways & handles 48 million passengers per year.

Moreover, it was ranked in the best in world in the 25- 40 million category several times.

Now about the IGIA Terminal 3.

IGIA T3, designed by HOK is the world's eighth largest airport terminal. It has 168 check-in counters, 78 aerobridges at 48 contact stands, 54 parking bays, 95 immigration counters, 15 X-ray screening areas, for less waiting times. This new terminal is connected to Delhi by an eight-lane Delhi Gurgaon Expressway and an airport express rail line by Delhi Metro.

Yes, it is a 'bit' modern. Do you have anything similar in Lahore? And you say that this is the only modern part ? This is the other (domestic) Terminal 1D

Virtually every major Indian airport now have a modern glass & steel terminal. This terminal is being built for an airport in Kerala, for a tier 3 city.

Anyway your terminal came just 6/7 years earlier. Looks might be subjective, but there is no point comparing a modern glass & steel terminal designed by a reputed architectural firm to one that resumbles a British raj- built railway station. And there are enough pictures of your Lahore airport interior on the internet.

Maybe you too can build one like that Kannur one. When you design it, do it in a way such that it reminds of how you got your rear kicked & country divided in half by the Indians, whom you consider as inferior.

Wrong.

The government initiated the program to change the base year to 2005-06 and some independent thinktanks did do some modelling in this regard---but the exercises was never carried through . Pakistan's economy is still based on 2000 as base year.

What is this. http://tribune.com.pk/story/542169/...reau-of-statistics-okays-change-in-base-year/

Do you think IMF & WB estimates are based on FY 2000 as base year. According to reports the revision will add ~7 to the GDP. And we are ahead by around 27% in GDP per capita, a gap which is widening due to Pakistan's higher population growth rate & lower gdp growth.

Happiness index is broader than HDI, and yes, it is reflective of a nation's living situation more wholestically. You do realize that Happiness Index isn't some NGO playing fun games (like most of your supporting sources! lol)..It is a U.N sanctioned program conducted under the supervision of top experts and analysts..

Atleast check before you write lies.
"Six key factors were measured to establish a global ranking of the happiest countries; GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and prevalence of corruption"

So as you see, a very wholistic and complete measurement of living conditions in a country.

Utter nonsense.

"What is the original source of the data for Figure 2.2? How are the rankings calculated?

The rankings in figure 2.2 use data that come from the Gallup World Poll. The rankings are based on answers to the main life evaluation question asked in the poll. This is called the Cantril ladder: it asks respondents to think of a ladder, with the best possible life for them being a 10, and the worst possible life being a 0. They are then asked to rate their own current lives on that 0 to 10 scale.

The rankings are from nationally representative samples, for the years 2013-2015. They are based entirely on the survey scores, using the Gallup weights to make the estimates representative. The sub-bars show the estimated extent to which each of six factors – levels of GDP, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and corruption – contribute to making life evaluations higher in each country than they are in Dystopia,a hypothetical country that has values equal to the world’s lowest national averages for each of the six factors''

http://worldhappiness.report/faq/

Straight from the horse's mouth. If you're putting this ahead of hard data based analysis such as HDI, I have nothing more to say.

Now in which world somalia will rank higher than Srilanka on these measurements?

Infact, Somalia does NOT rank higher than either Pak, or india, or Srilanka..

http://worldhappiness.report

Somalia is ranked 76, Pakistan 92, India 118 & Sri Lanka at 117.Seems pretty accurate!

Sorry, but your country is a Jihadi sh!thole and remains a sh!thole with extreme malnutrition, illiteracy and poor human living conditions & HDI.

Typical non sense. Lahore is not in the same league as Delhi IGI airport, which is South Asia's largest Aviation hub, have 3 runways & handles 48 million passengers per year.

Moreover, it was ranked in the best in world in the 25- 40 million category several times.

Now about the IGIA Terminal 3.

IGIA T3, designed by HOK is the world's eighth largest airport terminal. It has 168 check-in counters, 78 aerobridges at 48 contact stands, 54 parking bays, 95 immigration counters, 15 X-ray screening areas, for less waiting times. This new terminal is connected to Delhi by an eight-lane Delhi Gurgaon Expressway and an airport express rail line by Delhi Metro.

Yes, it is a 'bit' modern. Do you have anything similar in Lahore? And you say that this is the only modern part ? This is the other (domestic) Terminal 1D

Virtually every major Indian airport now have a modern glass & steel terminal. This terminal is being built for an airport in Kerala, for a tier 3 city.

Anyway your terminal came just 6/7 years earlier. Looks might be subjective, but there is no point comparing a modern glass & steel terminal designed by a reputed architectural firm to one that resumbles a British raj- built railway station. And there are enough pictures of your Lahore airport interior on the internet.

Maybe you too can build one like that Kannur one. When you design it, do it in a way such that it reminds of how you got your rear kicked & country divided in half by the Indians, whom you consider as inferior.



What is this. http://tribune.com.pk/story/542169/...reau-of-statistics-okays-change-in-base-year/

Do you think IMF & WB estimates are based on FY 2000 as base year. According to reports the revision will add ~7 to the GDP. And we are ahead by around 27% in GDP per capita, a gap which is widening due to Pakistan's higher population growth rate & lower gdp growth.



Utter nonsense.

"What is the original source of the data for Figure 2.2? How are the rankings calculated?

The rankings in figure 2.2 use data that come from the Gallup World Poll. The rankings are based on answers to the main life evaluation question asked in the poll. This is called the Cantril ladder: it asks respondents to think of a ladder, with the best possible life for them being a 10, and the worst possible life being a 0. They are then asked to rate their own current lives on that 0 to 10 scale.

The rankings are from nationally representative samples, for the years 2013-2015. They are based entirely on the survey scores, using the Gallup weights to make the estimates representative. The sub-bars show the estimated extent to which each of six factors – levels of GDP, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and corruption – contribute to making life evaluations higher in each country than they are in Dystopia,a hypothetical country that has values equal to the world’s lowest national averages for each of the six factors''

Straight from the horse's mouth. If you're putting this ahead of hard data based analysis such as HDI, I have nothing more to say.

Somalia is ranked 76, Pakistan 92, India 118 & Sri Lanka at 117.Seems pretty accurate!

Sorry, but your country is a Jihadi sh!thole and remains a sh!thole with extreme malnutrition, illiteracy and poor human living conditions & HDI.

Please let's not get dragged into an argument with this ignorant Pak! jihadi scum. Ignore h

Our airport is far classier in real life. It was purposefully designed to reflect Mughal architecture and our Islamic inheritance whereby we were the dominating force ruling hindus for 1000 years So it's cool! It was our first try hehe

True, it was your first try ...and you did make it to one world standard list...here you go....list of worst airports in the world
