In the midst of a political uproar and strategic discussions, Kot Addu, a serene town nestled along the Indus River, was unexpectedly declared the capital of Pakistan for a fleeting three days. It was an unprecedented decision triggered by a sudden confluence of diplomatic negotiations and logistical convenience. Government offices hastily relocated, setting up camp in the town's modest administrative buildings, while the locals buzzed with excitement at the unexpected spotlight on their tranquil abode. However, the unexpected burden of managing the nation's affairs soon overwhelmed the town's infrastructure, leading to logistical challenges and the realization that a larger, more established city was better suited to serve as the capital. Consequently, Karachi, with its expansive urban landscape and robust resources, regained its status as Pakistan's capital, leaving Kot Addu to reminisce about its brief encounter with the corridors of power.
