APROPOS the news item in Dawn (April 14) about the ambitious programme proposed by the guardians of Frere Hall for restoration. I am an old Karachiite and welcome this initiative. I am sure this will be a great landmark for the city.

The people need to see our heritage. We have so many sights that we can restore and show with pride, particularly in old city areas like Saddar, Burns Road and Soldier Bazar.

I would also like to compliment Citizens-Police Liaison Committee’s Jameel Yusuf for his suggestion to call Karachi a city of love and care instead of the city of lights. He is correct when he suggests that Karachi is a city which has given love to all who are here.
