One shouldn't need to give such silly "credentials" but I'm from an army family, I've headed @PASHAORG, am an investor in our IT sector & not a member of PTI

This is the real-world impact of blocking the internet & your actions:

1/7 A PK startup was raising funds in a major foreign city.

The investors liked them but asked how can PK just close the net for a week.

"I guess your whole country is like Indian Kashmir. Must be pretty hard to build anything. We'll wait & re-evaluate your market in 2024/25"

2/7

It's really disappointing that no one has developed Islamabad's most scenic locations into cafes or well-maintained public spots.

Other than Monal and the "Top 10 Restaurants" lists, we have three no-brainer locations that can become our city's "hero shots".

#islamabad 1. Rawal Lake.

The Lake View public park is a huge improvement and tourist magnet but there's an abandoned building that's designed as an eatery and is most probably languishing because of some CDA red tape. It's right next to the lake with a huge outdoor area.

Better to raise publicly than die privately!
