No, it's just a different Urdu/Arabic script font.

Nice. But they need to keep flags/graffiti off of it and also landscape all that sand under it and plant some trees.

Pictures in this post are from Flickr & Pakistani Newspapers.

Askari Park

- The Pakistan Army spent millions on it, to turn it into a beautiful park from an old & dirty vegetable market, during Musharraf's era:

Yeah, its great. Its called the "Signal-free corridor II" and like the "Signal-free corridor I" it has really helped in easing out traffic, reducing traveling time and eliminating traffic jams. There's one more, "Signal-free corridor III" to be made soon. Syed Mustafa Kamal is a great Mayor for Karachi and he is doing wonders for Karachi.

Anyways, here's a map of Karachi's building projects, done by FK our Mod:



Btw, I counted and these are the Amount of Towers going up:

KARACHI: Financial Towers = 2 + Crescent Bay = 45 + Sofitel = 1 + Creek Vista = 12 + Dolmen City = 2 + Creek Marina = 8 + KASB Altitude = 1 + IT Tower = 1 + Colosseum Residences = 2 + Center Point = 1 + Corporate City = 1 + Emerald Tower = 1

Proposed: KPT Tower = 5 + Port tower = 1

Grand Total = 77 + 6 Proposed.

Not bad, but a good potential to develop.
