THE menace of illegal parking fee across Karachi is an irritating element that has survived many a court order over the yearsfor its elimination. Those involved in illegal practice operate with a sense of impunity.
The actions of a few are affecting the lives and wellbeing of the majority.
The question that agitates many minds is about who truly owns Karachi. Is it the mafias, or the law-abiding citizens who contribute to the city in many ways? Roads are meant for transportation and connectivity, not to be turned into parking lots controlled by illegal mafias.
The authorities must step in and eliminate these illegal operations.
In fact, the city infrastructure has to be safeguarded, and the people have the right to have in their lives some sense ofsocialjustice.
It is through collective efforts and decisive actions that we can reclaim Karachi from the clutches of the various mafias that seem to be having a field day in the city currently. Let us hope for a future where the roads would be used for safe commute, and woruld not be monopolised by those who seek to exploit them for personal gains and cause troubles.
