Need help with debate arguments — “PERA Force deteriorates the state of urban living
I have an upcoming debate on the topic “PERA Force deteriorates the state of urban living” and I’ve been assigned to argue against PERA Force — so I have no choice but to build a case against it regardless of my personal opinion.
I’d really appreciate if anyone could help me with:
• Facts and figures related to PERA’s impact on urban life
• Examples from Pakistan’s past where similar enforcement drives (anti-encroachment, price control) actually made things worse for ordinary citizens — Karachi, Lahore etc.
• Ground realities — if any of you have personally witnessed or experienced PERA’s operations in your area, that would be super helpful
• Any news articles, reports, or research I can reference in the debate
Basically anything that supports the argument that PERA Force is harming rather than helping urban living — displacement of vendors, harassment of shopkeepers, destruction of informal livelihoods, lack of rehabilitation plans, that sort of angle.
Appreciate any help, even a single solid point with a source goes a long way. Shukriya in advance! 🙏
