After the 48 hour ceasefire, the guns on both sides of Cheel Chowk lie cold and dull as reassuring sounds of everyday life circle the roundabout. Dawn.com captures the aftermath of the Grand Operation around Cheel Chowk, Gabool Park and surrounding areas. – Photos by Hussain Afzal, text by Suhail Yusuf

I remember the Lal Mosque operation. Media made a hell lot of noise pushing the Govt into taking a concrete action. But once the Govt did they got into a rating-war over stories of dead bodies and what not. In the end the whole country got de-stabilised but media remained centre of focus for weeks.
Same thing again we are seeing in Lyari, first media kept on raising how the area is being sidelined and not taken care of. How Aman Committee is a terrorist group and bhatta-mafia front. When Govt got in, now they are to bear the brunt once again! Like seriously ppl at Media do you have ANY SENSE OF DIRECTION? Shouldn't you all stop taking common people for fools?

Did Govt. successful in Lyari Operation?? if not, then why this drama was played and wasted nation's money and precious lives. Govt. should take any step after proper planning and keep in view its aftermaths. Is Govt. people are childish?? All the Lyari Operation play demonstrated that criminals are more strong than Govt. or Admn. and Govt. is helpless to control over this community.
