THE authorities’ only remedy to ensure peace in Karachi is to ban pillion riding. However, this measure has not stopped nor reduced the lawlessness that prevails in the city.

The motocycle is a mode of transportation used by the less well-to-do. With their meagre resources, it is difficult for them to spend additional money on other modes of transportation.

The government is requested to come up with practical and citizen-friendly measures in its efforts to restore law and order.
