[HOT] Mapping the Garment Factories, May 25

[Faisal Chohan]

Hi Alyssa,

Plant/factories residential areas have incidents of regular accidents in
Pakistan. Is there any possibility to carry out the exercise on the same
pattern in Pakistan. I am from pakreport.org and we beleive in open data
and mapping for solving big issues.

Thanks,

Faisal Chohan
