I was wondering why we can’t translate Hebrew posts anymore - seems it’s X and Elon Musk protecting hate speech from your favourite genocide terror apartheid state.

Look, I don't throw the term around lightly, but this is a fucking Nazi policy.

This has led to many infrastructural issues, where urban ‘developers’ have stopped accommodating pedestrian accessibility. As those lower down on the social ladder continue to bear the brunt of these exclusionary practices, can Karachi ever get its footpaths back? #karachi

[Marvi Mazhar @marvimazhar]

As Karachi experiences an exponential increase in motorisation, limited attention is given to pedestrian and public transport facilities. #karachi #infrastructure #development #humanisticcities @SindhDepartment

Climate change - induced sea level rising is affecting coastal communities across the globe and #gwadarbalochistan is not an exception in this connection. Moreover, Gwadar city is highly vulnerable due to its location.The equation for Gwadar city is very serious: -1

@KTnotkatiee @aliasad1998 Have such fond memories of Park Towers. That was ‘the’ place to hangout before mall culture became so prevalent, I think.

[Ali Asad @aliasad1998]

Many in Karachi have fond memories associated with Park Towers mall. I was driving by late at night and decided to check it out after all these years. Felt like I was in a nightmare. Not a soul nearby but something was in there with me. I will never forget the experience. Thread:

@nasirsohrabi Hamein toh yahan Kuch pata hi nahi hai ke Kya surat-e-haal hai. This would not only raise awareness about cultural heritage of Gwadar but would also show that Balochistan govt is serious about this and will create public accountability + more research on Gwadar’s heritage

[Shaheera Pesnani Gwadari @ShaheeraPesnani]

@nasirsohrabi Menatwaar. Another important thing is that these documents should be publicly available. Old Town ki restoration is a billion $$ project lekin koi bhi information available hai hi nahi. Foreign govts aisey cultural restoration projects ki bht marketing kartey hain.

[Nasir Rahim Sohrabi @nasirsohrabi]

گْوادر میں بارش کے متاثرین میں شاہی بازار اورمتصلہ اسماعیلی جماعت خانہ و کالونی کے قدیم اور تاریخی مقامات بھی شامل ہیں۔آثار قدیمہ بلوچستان کو اس جانب فوری توجہ کرنے اور انکو مزید تباہی سے بچانے کے لیے ہنگامی اقدامات کی ضرورت ہے۔

@nasirsohrabi @balochistanarch @gwadar_e_tawar Old Town ki Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) bht zaroori hai. Jis mein sirf building hi nahi lekin aas paas ka landscape document karna bht zaruri hai. Lekin yeh bhi andaza hai ke Expressway ka EIA bhi sirf naam ka tha. Warna Old Town ke itne nazdeek large-scale dev nahi hoti

[Shaheera Pesnani Gwadari @ShaheeraPesnani]

@nasirsohrabi @balochistanarch @gwadar_e_tawar Shahi bazaar aur Ismaili muhalla ki buildings waisey hi kaafi khasta halaat mein hain. Agar GDA aur Antiquities and Culture department ki janib se Old Town pe agar fori taur pe tadabeer nahi li gayin toh in buildings ko bachana aur restore karna mazeed mushkil Aur mehnga hojayega
