Pictures from cities: Peshawar

[A1Kaid]

No its very very safe. Much safer than Karachi.

I have a hard time believing that, but if you're in Peshawar and live there I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. What is the crime rate in the city like? From what I was told robberies, armed criminals, stealing, illegal activities, are common in Peshawar...

My Dad was in Hayatabad (Khyber Medical University) a few weeks ago & it didn't appear to him as if Peshawar was all that safe; the University hosts wouldn't take him & his team to the Namak Mandi nor the Kurram Agency right next door that he wanted to go. Apparently even the FC & the Army personnel looked spooked considering how with near impunity the TTP killed the Police Inspector & beheaded him without anyone doing anything or the locals pointing out how the TTP are able to pop up & melt away at will.

See I knew it was dangerous, bloody hell, what a pathetic situation of lawlessness. Are you kidding me even FC and Army Personnel are flinching to take on TTP?

i cant give you the exact ratio BUT stealing/robberies in Peshawar are at the most least level. Armed criminals are there but their activities are limited to mostly tribal belt and areas bordering the tribal belt however over-all Peshawar is much safer than Karachi in crime rates.

i dont know what do you mean by illegal activities but to my understanding the illegal activities here include drug trade (yes hash, alchohol is available easily. Prostitution is also there being carried in elite areas in some cases as always by bribing the police as claims the media.

Hayatabad is a Posh area but it borders Khyber Agency the FC personal are at the last phase that has wall to wall with Khyber Agency, terrorists taking on the security forces there is not a general practice for public in main city.

Andro are you in Pesh? How do the locals feel about Pakistanis of other ethnicities coming into their city? I've never been to Pesh so I have no personal experience. I've heard in some areas people may treat you differently, etc.

Try to visit Peshawar you will see an entirely different city than what you heard.

The locals treat other national ethnicities with affection. We dont treat them differently though the only difference you will see more affection from us and am not saying it ideally.

Over the years the situation had changed alot and now most of the food-streets in Peshawar are established and run by Punjabi Pakistanis. The cloth markets are filled with traders from Punjab who export the stuff since we have really low prices for clothing here specially silk-made and other such stuff.

I'm surely gonna make a video on Peshawar (composed of these photos) and tell the whole world we're not the way the whole world assumes us to be.
