However, this division is not being welcomed by Karachiities
#Karachi is being divided into 3 zones: Uptown, Downtown and Oldtown.
I don't see why. It already had 2 zones: Pul ke iss paar and pul ke uss paar.
Same economic, historic and touristic focus, same ignorance in favour of elites 😉

These Downtown and Old town signs on a wooden crafted boards could look more interesting if original road/area names were mentioned on it.
Don't understand the logic of renaming Metropole as Downtown & now Fawara chowk as Old town. #Karachi #KhiAlerts

Good initiative this is but #Karachi is like a mix plate of zones. 1 can find traces of Uptown in an Oldtown area while Downtown normally features shopping malls from Uptown zone. https://t.co/0qMgOTmmtR
