Shaniera Akram, the wife of former captain Wasim Akram has expressed disappointment over Karachi police deploying an armed rollerblading unit to curb theft and harassment on the city’s streets.
Taking to Twitter, she wrote that wouldn’t it be wiser to fix the roads of Karachi first, then put our police on rollerblades.
Wouldn’t it be wiser to fix the roads of Karachi first, then put our police on Rollerblades??

Previously, she also posted that the beach is in a state of emergency. She was upset at the trash dumped on the seashore and was left shocked after seeing used syringes strewn across Seaview Beach. “There is kilometres of medical waste, including open syringes, vials of blood, broken glass medical containers, that has come in from the ocean spread out over kilometres across the beach,” she posted, appalled.
Nearly stood on 9 syringes at the beach this morning, don’t know if I should be more worried about our rubbish situation or our drug epidemic? #CliftonBeach #WeNeedSystems #ThingsHaveToChange

“Our beach is a bio-hazard zone and needs to be shut down immediately. I am so sorry to the people including myself who use and love our beach but this is beyond safe.” Akram, who protested on another occasion when Seaview Beach was littered with heaps of trash, had advised keyboard warriors who only commented on social media to wake up and play their part.
