I SEE after every few days a campaign in Karachi against driving on the wrong side, fancy number plates and tinted glasses. What about Hyderabad? Is it not a city of Sindh?

One-way roads seem to have disappeared in Hyderabad.

Tilak Chari is a busy road but you can see hundreds of motorbikes violating the one-way rule. Sometimes I have seen policemen stopping cars with dark windows but the drivers hand over their cellphones to them who later after having conversation with some influential person let the drivers go.

The authorities should pay attention to this city too.
