Things fall apart

Article Abstract:

The Pakistani Army's incursion into Sindh province in the south of Pakistan has had tremendous repercussions on the government. The army is quarreling with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Pres Gulam Ishaq Khan. The army's attack on the Muhajir Qaumi Movement (MQM) is making Sharif, who is allied with the MQM, wary of the army. The army has also leaked to the press certain allegations against the family of Pres Khan. However, observers say that it is highly unlikely that the military would again take over the reins of government.

Traffic problems in Delhi and New Delhi, India have worsened due to increasing numbers of people and vehicles.

Severe air pollution and 2,000 road deaths a year have resulted from this growth. The salient features of traffic in these cities are the variety of vehicles and the extreme recklessness with which they are driven.
