No sea view

Published

AT beaches all over the world, water touches the shoreline but not in Karachi. Nearly a decade or so ago you could see the water and waves touching the city’s shore but now that the authorities have dragged the sea back by 500 metres we are missing out on Mother Nature’s beauty. These authorities have destroyed Mother Nature.

Restaurants and bars on the beach face the sea but in Karachi, all restaurants face the road and ugly traffic. I request the authorities concerned to do something about this.
