The Table reveals that the overall index of personal safety has had a cyclical pattern. It declined sharply in 2010-11 when terrorism was at its peak. Thereafter, it has shown a better trend. However, a rise in the incidence of crime is observed, especially in the primate city of Karachi. Box 6.3 shows the safety factor in relation to crime in some South Asian cities. Karachi has a lower safety factor than Lahore and Rawalpindi but higher than that of Dhaka and Delhi. 41
