Some people are pleased to abandon their freedom. Their privacy taken away. There are military officers who imagine by denying people freedom they are doing a great service. The military has occupied a large chunk of Karachi and is running it as its personal fiefdom. Its are rules are not debated. It is dictation and nothing else. Greed and corruption runs rampant there is no one to challenge it.
Commissioned officers firmly believe that only they have the right to run Pakistan - for better or for worse. When General Zia took over he changed Defence Housing Society into Defence Housing Authority. Ever since then every kind of racket started. The water supply racket. Although water pipelines were set up, but the water was not supplied through them by through water tankers. The road building racket. The sewerage line racket. Every conceivable violation has taken place
Schools were set up by private parties - they were shut down - in its place Defence Housing Authority set up dubious schools and colleges. People who had their wedding halls were shut down and the Defence Housing Authority had their own. When cable TV came, the whole of Karachi had a cable connection except for Defence Housing Authority - till some military officer started running his own cable service - which is many times worse than the whole of Karachi.
Now that that this personal fiefdom of the military is running out of land to allot - to sell it is over taxing the people already living in it. It has making rules which no one can challenge. For all intents and purposes the military is above the law.
Only when Defence Housing Authority becomes Defence Housing Society will there be some sense in the rules and regulations.
