Q16. The insolvency Ordinance will not be an optimal solution if its implementation doesn’t recognize three crucial factors. First, all efforts must be made to allow well-intentioned promoters to bid for their companies that are in the insolvency row.

Now, the social media behemoth is offering its users security, through surveillance.
