like a hundred or so months of the year with the goods out party of these subsidies. straight. up is a subset of the structure that was all started up subs. got to block the opposite of daughter. that actually. so how is that one hundred day plan going. is pakistan's largest city its commercial and financial center its largest port and the gateway to the vest of the country it's a good place to assess the new government's progress and chances of success.
1:27 am
