THE rich and the moneyed people of Karachi have now started displaying dirty money in the form of fireworks at their wedding events. Usually the loud boomboom begins after 1 or 2 in the morning.
This sounds like someone has attacked the area with full arsenal force. The old, infirm, and children living in the neighbourhood are aroused from their slumber and get panicky and terrihed.
The rich must accept the fact that Karachi is gradually getting out of the menace of terrorism and targeted killings.
The display of fireworks intensifies the fear factor in the neighbours and is a gross violation of neighborhood courtesy and peace.
The law-enforcement agencies must undertake strict measures to ban the display of fireworks. In the same manner, the richshouldcelebrate theireventsin a simpler way and, if possible, donate the expenses earmarked for the fireworks to a worthy cause.
