Project to move PIA Headquarters to Islamabad Started

[Winchester]

It is the private sector that will determine the growth of Karachi, Lahore or any other city. Squabbling over a government organisation that barely provides jobs to a few hundred people in a city of over 20 million isn't going to get you anything. This ghisi pitti mentality of fighting over government jobs need to end.

Karachi had two issues; security and infrastructure.

The first one has been solved to a large degree but Karachi really lags in infrastructure development.

Unfortunately this problems is going to persist for the foreseeable future. The provincial government isn't interested because its voter base doesn't reside in Karachi, while the federal government has absolutely no money to carry out any flagship infrastructure project on its own.

Unless we see a revolution in Sindh, Karachi would either have to be made a separate province or should be declared federal territory.

I think all Large cities with the economy engine should be under federal. I agree Karachi should be excluded from Sindh and Hyderabad be made Capital of Sindh province. Karachi is too important for Pakistan and must be under Federal.

provinces on the basis of governance requirements

then some people are going to cry why my Karachi is being divided, why my Lahore or any other city in Pakistan is being divided into "governance" based provinces...We Pakistanis always like to complain.

 

[airmarshal]

how would moving the head office bring in more revenue? will it somehow change how business is done? this is a very idiotic argument.

Also, if that argument is to be followed then all HQs from Lahore should be moved to Islamabad as well. it is too close to the border, and is receiving preferential treatment at the cost of other smaller cities of Punjab,



from where did you get those two?

dont be stupid. Moving hub to Islamabad means moving the hub of Pakistan aviation to Islamabad.

Since all you freaking idiots making arguments about Karachi vs Islamabad a nationalist and ethnic issue, I would ask you to take a look at world aviation map, look at Pakistan geography and argue with yourself first if Pakistan aviation hub should be Islamabad or Karachi.

""Baat tu sach hai magar baat hai ruswai ki ""One of issue i always think Pakistan 4 provinces are divided on ethnic lines one of reason these peoples get fuels for their agenda not thinking what good for Pakistan but their area wise.Karachi hu yah koi bhi province Pakistan sy bahar hai kiya ??but as u said its our own mentality issue mostly

Issues are lot deeper and more coming they starting to fuel Sindhudesh Tehreek again for their political gains (some points in previous threads we discussed) and those who don't know its history check it after 1983 its become kinda big issue indian 1987 operation brasstacks was dependent on it give a lot headache back than to our security forces

Oh plz, you make it sound like you are something special. I see that "we are better then the rest of Pakistan" attitude hasn't died out, yet

bhai jaan mera dil dukhta hai jab mein KalaBagh Dam ka naam sunta hoon, agar kuch logon ko phansi laga kar b banana parta to banana chaiye tha, jitna mulk ko nuqsaan hua hai ab wo to kabhi pura nahi ho sakta, isi tarah provinces ko b yeh siasi rang de kar kabhi nahi banany denge, hamari awaam bohat masoom hai.

Not about open arms, bro. It is about justice, fairness, and equality.
There is Book called Quran, and a being Allah, Who is for sermons only, says, bear witness to truth even it goes against you.


Solution is more provinces on the basis of governance requirements. Racist PPP will not yield to this.

I find the people of Karachi to be racist. For being immigrants to the native lands of the pakistani already there, they seem to act like they own the place. Or we owe them something.

Yes, but I still think it should be moved to Islamabad. Since the capital is usually the first place international flights land. All government institutions should be moved to Islamabad. We need other cities to develop. Karachi is more of a port/transportation city.

Government is moving ahead with plan to move PIA Headquarter to Islamabad.
Seems Karachi will be left only with KPT, Port Qasim, Quaid Tomb, and Abdullah Shah Ghazi Mazar.
Sindh racist government crushing people of Karachi in crucible on one hand and Punjabi bureaucracy steamrolling from other end.

Moving to Islamabad not Lahore

Hazrat masoom kahain gy yah nadan ???long term main kiss ka nuqsaan ....Pakistan ka aur aam logon ka but just as u see in this thread how things easily goes out of hand and logic same like kala bagh Pakistan tu ban giya par lagta hai Pakistani banay ka safar abhi kafi baqi hai ijtimai tor par

bhai jaan mera dil dukhta hai jab mein KalaBagh Dam ka naam sunta hoon, agar kuch logon ko phansi laga kar b banana parta to banana chaiye tha, jitna mulk ko nuqsaan hua hai ab wo to kabhi pura nahi ho sakta, isi tarah provinces ko b yeh siasi rang de kar kabhi nahi banany denge, hamari awaam bohat masoom hai.

airblue a private company, is already HQ'd at Lahore, how will moving the pia hq affect aviation industry? and why should the hub be islamabad? its traffic is nowhere close to Khi or Lahore's.

What you been smoking???

Paras Bukhari said, Lahore is situated around Lahore.
To take humor from this exceptional humorist my quote, There is Punjab around all Pakistan


But dear xyxmt, not that I blame you, but there is so much that one does not know.

 

[S.Y.A]

Since the capital is usually the first place international flights land.

Seriously? who told you that? Washington dc, capital of the US, isnt even in the top five busiest airports in the US.

We need other cities to develop.

that can be done by investing in those cities, not by transferring HQs here and there. this is the lamest argument anyone can make. same argument was made when capital was transferred to Islamabad, its been 50 years, and still development has not been spread beyond Lahore or Karachi.

The busiest airport by traffic is Karachi. makes no sense to move the head office. Talking about geography, Middle East is closer to Karachi than to ISlamabad. AFrica is closer to Karachi than to Islamabad, Europe is close to KArachi than to Islamabad.
