Pakistan infrastructure has always been poor. In the recent years in spite of billions spent in Karachi and Lahore, the infrastructure can’t coop up with mad rush of cars and motor bikes on the city roads.
In Lahore, in the recent years there had been a lot of improvements on the city roads. The Canal bank road, Lahore Ring road and Tameezu Din Roads are only few visible examples.
If one wants to see the manifestation of uncontrolled traffic, Emergency and Neurology Wards in the General Hospital on the Ferozpore road is the place to visit.
The MS and other doctors commented that this hospital alone receives 70 to 100 road accident emergencies daily, mostly head injuries.
This is an alarming number and the Government as well as civil society must take cognizance of the state of traffic on Lahore city roads.
Increasing number of cars and motorbikes on the roads, inability of the city government to keep up pace with the ever increasing traffic, driver’s licensing policy and lenient ticketing policy and cost of traffic violations are the reasons for the choked traffic and loss of valuable lives on the roads.
In the absence of sound economic and taxation policies and the vested interests; Pakistani manufacturers of automobiles will continue to cause hardships to the consumers. Textile not Automotive Industry needs State protection, textile, which is the main stay of Pakistan domestic as well as export market, is going down due to the energy problems. Why should the Government protect Automotive Industry? It is unjustified and they are charging high rates of profit and encourage dealers to charge premium on their units.
What is the reason for people to buy highly priced cars? Five years back people invested blindly invested in real-estate. With no investment avenues and ever decreasing price of PKR, investment in commodity like gold and cars is on the rise. Bank financing is easily available and anyone with a down payment can own a car.
It is the market (demand and supply), Government policies (to protect local car manufacturers, bank finance which is pushing the prices up.
