Karachi is undoubtedly the height of urban chaos Pakistan has to offer. This city offers sustenance to more than 16 million people but its broken and inept systems deny a fair chance of survival to many.
It has been 30 months since we buried our beautiful 10-year-old daughter Amal Umer (who was sitting in the back seat of our car) as an aftermath of a run-of-the mill mobile snatching/mugging, an unnecessary and unwarranted police shooting (not a crossfire) with an AK47, a hospital that denied immediate medical care and an ambulance which never showed up on time. All this only 100 yards from a police station, at a spot which, to this day, remains as unlit and dark as it was on that unfortunate night of August 13, 2018.
