ETC is in no state to resume operations. offices are shifting.

While at STP 1 … even though repairs are in order .. yo must have seen the notice displayed too (posted on IMB) … but still its operable now.

The problem can be solved by doing two things in parallel. economic development of these backward areas so these young ppl have something positive to do plus writ of the govt should be enforced at every cost. i m sorry if i offend my tribal brothers.the only language they use n understand is "force". so the govt must talk to them in the same language. if they know that if they give shelter to terorrists,they will b hit hard, then they would stay away from this.one more thing. in tribal customs, if u make peace with someone by going to his home, then basically u have surrendered. govt must stop doing this.it only emboldens these ppl. stop crying abt the conspiracy theories. this thing is for real.these talibans have no religion.they r just a bunch of thieves,murderers. i m saying this coz i belong to souther nwfp, which is a taliban territory now. i have seen them first hand.

Can anyone confirm that everything is OK with them? As far as topic (economic blow) is concerned, I think this is just a start of what to come. these baydeen mullahs have been successful in recruiting the highly literate people among us, one example was Khalid Shaikh, who was involved in Daniel Pearl case. After spreading chaos all over Pakistan, now they want to attack on the economy to make us more weak. By this they would fulfill the all the responsibilities entrusted in them by enemy sates of Pakistan One of my vendors, "Askari Information Services" have offices in ETC (3rd floor).

Given the magnanimity of the disaster at ETB, am afraid that many business might face a closure or they will do some kind of downsizing at least. Some of them have resumed their operations though from dingy places (one office that I'll not name is currently operating from a semi-constructed house in I-8). If these businesses have no other choice but to slash some jobs then they should get rid of the rich kids. I have seen so many hi-fi kids doing jobs there just for a thrill. Many had full time drivers continuously waiting for them outside in fancy cars n stuff. Nice informational piece, A4A.
