		<description>And Ejaz sahab, thanks for pointing about Enrique Penalosa, here&#039;s an article where he offers some suggestions about the traffic problems in India: http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_political-will-can-clear-roadblocks-enrique-penalosa_1312212

About Al Gore&#039;s film though, I&#039;d like to suggest you watch Fall of the Republic, The Obama Deception, and The Great Global-Warming Swindle. They&#039;re all available on Google Video and bitTorrent. They offer an alternate conclusion to the one offered by Gore.</description>

		<description>Widening the road is not the answer. I understand why people like Virk feel it should be expanded - anyone who&#039;s driven on the canal in the afternoon on a weekday should be able to understand why some people feel that way. There&#039;s always this tremendous constant traffic jam, it&#039;s deeply frustrating. 

However, widening the road isn&#039;t the answer because, as the article states, within ten years, the road would require &quot;re-widening&quot;. Chopping off all those trees effect human beings ya know.. we don&#039;t have alot of acid rain here yet, but chop off all the trees and fill that space with cars, and you&#039;d see how quickly that changes.

A better short-term solution would be, to widen some of the canal road&#039;s tributaries, so people can take alternate routes. In the long run, we desperately need a mass transit system. I&#039;d like to find out what the logic was, behind this govt&#039;s shutting down the proposed underground met system for Lahore.

We as a culture need to come up with wholesome solutions, that are developed after taking all important factors under consideration. Far too often, we come up with &quot;solutions&quot; that create new problems, like chopping off trees. What&#039;s next... chopping off our legs when they hurt? That&#039;d definitely solve the leg-pain problem forever.</description>

		<description>Rafay, how do we educate the educated like virk?  The Word &#039;Ignorant&#039; in English language sounds and feels quite harmless, but translated in our language as &#039;Jahil&#039; it turns into the most demeaning epithet. No offence inteded Mr Virk, you are out of touch with reality.I suggest you go and watch Al Gore&#039;s Academy award winning movie to start with. And then search the web for Enrique Panalosa and what he has to say about solving traffic problems.</description>

		<description>@virk: Your claim that by not widening the canal road, &#039;human beings&#039; are being negatively affected is an outrageous overstatement. Have you even read the environmental assessment of cutting down so many trees and removal of a thriving mini-ecosystem in the heart of Lahore? Or have you thought about positive effects if this mammoth amount of funds are spent on establishment of an eco-friendly mass transit system spanned over buses, trams or even the much delayed Lahore Rapid Mass Transit (LRMT)...?</description>
