Mafia(s) everywhere! But the question is which is the most dangerous one? Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. We are aware of certain mafia(s) and so do we know how to stay away or tackle them. There are mafia(s) we try to stay away from, such as the drug mafia; then, there are certain mafia(s) we know how to tackle or take care of, the beggars mafia; finally, there are certain mafia(s) we hope and pray we are never encountered with, the terrorist mafia and likewise. But there is also a fourth type of mafia and probably the most dangerous one, they remain silent, they are accepted by general public and they are not perceived as mafia.
Who will stop them? How much on an average a person pays on parking slips?
One such mafia can be found on every busy road of Karachi; be it Saddar, Tariq Road, Bahadurabad, Clifton or any other road. I call them - The Twenty Rupees Mafia also known as charged car parking. Of late, I tried a bit to investigate if they actually come under any authority? On paper maybe, but in reality not! Where are my twenty rupees going? Why should I pay them? Are they being used by city administration for developmental purposes? Few of my unanswered questions. In most cases, they don't carry a parking slip book either.

All friends looking around for a tax free income - become a part of twenty rupees mafia!!
