Pakistan: 'VIP' Traffic Jams

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

Major traffic jams are an unfortunate occurrence in pretty much every big city around the world, but in Pakistan - a country frequently in the news for its security issues - being stuck at the lights takes on a rather different dimension. Karachi reporter Fahad Desmukh reflects on the rise of enormous security convoys for Pakistani 'VIPs' and the impact of this on the public psyche.
