Pakistan has been blessed with beautiful places to visit and as the government expands tourism in various areas, it comes with a downside: wall chalking!
Be it an ad for aamil baba, kamzor jism ko mota banana or I love you *XYZ,* we’ve seen them everywhere. Travelling together, a couple tried leaving their mark too:
A humble request to Mr and Mr.s Sohaib please don’t ever visit this place again unless you learn basic ethics and manners.!! pic.twitter.com/WzFiAyUDXd

And the netizens have a lot to say!

What’s this country’s obsession with leaving their names behind?

People were also sharing that the picture is from 2017 but resurfaces every year:

It’s just as simple as that:
Not just this place, they shouldn't be allowed at any tourist place. If they can't respect the natural beauty, & the infrastructure, then they don't deserve to visit such places. https://t.co/odkR2tacdr

Lol:
Good job Mr and Mrs Sohaib! Next time please write down your phone numbers or CNICs. pic.twitter.com/HwZcZh3Bnv
— Barrister Arhum Tariq (@Arhumtb) August 9, 2021
Quite possible 😂
Imagine Mr. and Mrs. Sohaib live in a joint family setup. There they must be marking their sections inside the refrigerator as well.

Even if the picture is old, it’s good enough to raise awareness and caution other visitors to avoid chalking the walls with their personal maslay. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
