In developed countries, a majority of people don’t prefer living near the airport because of noise pollution. In Pakistan, it is just the opposite. Here, it is fashionable to live near the airport.

These housing societies would certainly have garbage dumps which would invite birds, which are likely to cause accidents. Why do we refuse to learn from the past mistakes?
