Hi Faisal. It was nice to meet you briefly at the London Ushahidi meet-up a couple of weeks back. Sorry we didn't get to chat longer.
I took a look at the mapping progress in Rawalpindi, and it looks like you've been doing some great work. I was even able to check my imagery alignment using all the GPS traces you guys have been gathering. Great stuff! So I'm sad to hear about these new laws halting your progress. Let us know if you can see anything HOT or OpenStreetMap organisations could do to help.

After reading this news we have stopped on ground mapping and are not updating open street map from Friday on-wards. We are just pondering different options.
