We are facing crimes like bribe, snatching, theft, robbery, murder, drugs on daily basis. There should be place/website where we can put the information about such incidents happened to us or in-front of our eyes.

Why is it needed

People hesitate to report incidents to police, as its hectic, time taking and some times money taking too. If we provide a platform to public, they will at least start reporting about incidents and a database will be managed on the basis of those real incidental reports, which might be useful for not only general public but also the security agencies can get information from that website too, for analyzing crime ratio in certain areas.

Where is the money

I am sure this is not a unique idea. Most of us have already thought about it. My suggestion here is to form a group of volunteers (I will gladly be the first one to volunteer) who can do whatever it takes to have an accurate street level map of Lahore.

At present, I am not sure who is allowed to do that. I tried to look it up but found no method/tool/website where general public can make its contribution to the map definition. So the relevant google guys may require a certain level of persuasion. Who to contact and how to reach them? that can be the first task for this volunteer group.

So those who are willing to be a part of this exercise, please reply here. After that, we can pick a fearless leader from amongst us who can take up the planning from there on.

Pakistan needs you!
