		<description>Hello. Thanks for the thought provoking article I read today. 

I need data regarding slums in urban centers of Pakistan, particularly Karachi, Lahore,peshawar and Quetta. How many people in these cities are living in planned city and how many in slums?

Would you kindly help?

Thanks

They&#039;re not beggars wanting charity. They want their hard work recognized and rewarded. If you want to do good, do it properly without killing someones pride. 

I know most of them will happily accept your &lt;i&gt;bheek&lt;/i&gt; thinking of it as a gift from God, and expect it from you regularly, but we have enough &lt;i&gt;bhikkaeez&lt;/i&gt; to want more, rather, to want to create more. It&#039;s just not right. 

If you think the high ups don&#039;t listen, you probably haven&#039;t been trying hard enough. The same applies to our entire nation that likes to complain and give up before actually trying.</description>

		<description>@ Humayun,

I agree they are very low paid after the amount of work they do, especially the gardening team!

But, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a good idea to accumulate funds and offer them charity. The right way would be to press these peoples&#039; &lt;b&gt;employer&lt;/b&gt; to raise their wages, and give them benefits.</description>
