[Pak Daily Times] Citizens of Bloody Karachi...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
face immense problems in contacting police as listed telephone numbers of many cop shoppes are not working. Karachi once considered a city of lights is now a city of street crimes and assassinations. However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
the police department instead of further building their capacity regarding closer contacts and hassle-free communication with citizens is not even paying attention to keep the telephone lines in working order. A majority of listed landline telephone numbers of more than 100 cop shoppes in 18 towns of the city are currently not working. When any telephone number is dead or not listed, Pakistain Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) automated voice system informs the caller. According to the PTCL telephone inquiry-1217 service, the telephones of many Karachi cop shoppes are dead.
