Tell us what you think:
We doctors are very much disturbed, AKUH, NIBD, LNH, roads jam, reaching on duties late, due to alternative roots.
Just suggesting to make it possible, for karachi people, to organize matches out of city, or at bahria university, or make it possible to cordon off the whole stadium with highly trained security personels, if there are security issues.
Thanks.
