CCTV Cameras on seurity checkpoints in Pakistan, Use of technology towards National Security
Posted by K. Shahzad in National Security on March 11, 2010
CCTV cameras at Checkpoints in Pakistan (Translates to: Cameras are Watching You)
There are not many public places in Pakistan where the security cameras are installed by the government however the private organizations, banks, institutions and markets install the cameras. Recently some government security checkpoints have claimed to be using the security cams at their places, as you see in the image, this picture was taken on a highway inside Rawalpindi which is under both Military police from Pakistan Army and Punjab police. Specifically this one is in Cantt area.
A little cabin have also been seen on the same check-post which seems to be the control or monitoring room for these cameras. It is encouraging the now security checkpoints in Pakistan have also started making use of technology, the security cameras in this case. In case of any violations even if the criminals get away, the guys at the check-posts will at least have some video footage featuring the faces of criminals.
This reminds me of an incident when a robber in Pakistan entered into a bank’s ATM cabin, killed the person when he resisted and got away with the money. But later when the footage from the CCTV camera inside the ATM cabin was released to media and telecasted on some private TV channels in Pakistan, the criminal was spotted by a TV viewer and caught when that viewer called in to report the location of that person.
So if in case these cameras are installed effectively to cover the whole area of checkpoint and closely monitor the vehicles passing through, it will be great help in catching the criminals who got away without being caught.
One more thing which could have been done was not to let the people know by the boards that cameras are watching you because these boards can result in the criminals covering their faces or being little careful while passing the checkpost. Another important thing is either they maintain the recorded footage of last few days or not, they must have idealy have the videos of all passed times or atleast of last few days in other case. These can be used to track a vehicle which may have been entered via that checkpost in case the tracking is required.
Anyways this is good that now the technology is being used for security purposes but this was just the beginning, if really things have to be achieved the concerned department will have to bring in much more gadgets along with the real people who know how to operate them. This will help in having the fool proof security.
Takmeel-e-Pakistan resolution by Zaid Hamid in Lahore on 23rd March
Posted by K. Shahzad in Occasions on March 8, 2010
A new resolution called Takmeel-e-Pakistan proposed by Zaid Hamid is going to be passed on same place, the Minar-e-Pakistan where 70 years back Pakistan resolution was passed and resulted in the current existence of Pakistan as a country on world map.
The idea is that Takmeel-e-Pakistan resolution will be initiating the Takmeel-e-Pakistan movement which will come up with a new struggle to lead the country towards the achievement and the true essence of those purposed which Pakistan as a country had to achieve.
This resolution comes up with the vision to work only and only for the country to make Pakistan the greatest country of the world. Apparently it demands us to analyze things regarding why as a nation Pakistan is having bad times, why we are unstable at the moment, why instead of rising on map of world we are being pushed backwards and then after we have all our reasons start the struggle to rise on the map of world.
The resolution insists on the struggle to regain our lost Honor and Dignity that we were suppose to have. Also it insist on the struggle to make the Pakistan the country which Iqbal and the founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah had envision.
I personally loved the idea of Takmeel-e-Pakistan as it at least makes us think that there are things which are on wrong track, things which need to be fixed once and for all. It was good idea because it come with thought and reminds everyone once again that there is some role that every one have to play once again for their country to regain the honor.
Hope on the D-day it does not come as a bunch of wishes but also brings up a road map which one can follow or at least the solid points with reasoning on what is wrong and how it can be fixed. Overall it is just a reminder for everyone to keep putting your efforts to lead your country to the path which goes towards the prosperity and not the one which leads to the spot where our sovereignty is in question.
I am seeing this initiation of Takmeel-e-Pakistan struggle as a new horizon which leads the country to be the best in the world in all fields.
Following is the video that was released officially and tells you more about this resolution.
A specially website have also been launched in connection to this campaign and that can be reached at www.takmeel.pk

Posted by K. Shahzad in Automobile on March 7, 2010
When we talk of vehicle modifications, specially car modification not every one go for it here in Pakistan but you most see lots of people with modified cars etc. Lots of people go for conventional modifications of their old cars to add a new style to their ride, but sometimes you come across some really crazy ideas which you will not find anywhere else in world.
Few days back we attended a car racing event in Islamabad where lots of people were there to watch the on going races, among audience there were much of people with modified rides.
There was one freak who had applied a crazy idea to his Suzuki Mehran which I never seen any one else to have applied to their small car. He had turned the Mehran conventional doors to the butterfly doors which on same time open outwards and above the body of car. These doors normally come in high-end sports cars only. Following are pictures of that car.
