Poverty is the only thing which distinguishes the lives. Even it restrains a country to develop its economy. No doubt, poverty is increasing rapidly in our country and it has stopped the development of our country.

Pakistan’s condition is very much critical due to poverty. Lack of facilities like agriculture, and farmers lack facilities to farm in a good way.
Whenever poverty rate increases the economy rate decreases. Furthermore, unemployment and recommendation are the biggest causes of poverty.Talented people don’t get jobs but untalented had best jobs even they don’t deserve to have such jobs but due to recommendation they get.

Moreover, corruption is very much famous in Pakistan and everyone follows it such as doctors, teachers, officers all are corrupt, you have money then you deserve everything. No need of being talented or educated for instance, the corrupt government of Pakistan guides and supports those who belong to elite family. They do nepotism and favoritism. Due to this, poverty is increasing in Pakistan day by day .

On the other hand, they are doing discrimination with women. Women are not getting their fundamental rights in Pakistan. Corrupt government is creating hardships for the poor and throwing obstacles to damage them.

It is the responsibility of each leader to be supportive and support the poor people in their bad circumstances.

Women in Balochistan are facing numerous problems which include gender equity, women empowerment, illiteracy, health problems, harassment, education and many more. The overall literacy rate for women in Pakistan is around 52pc while only 33.5pc of women in Balochistan are literate. Similarly, the number of women dying in childbirth is far higher in the province; 758 women out of 100,000 die during childbirth in Balochistan. According to a report, 76 percent of Balochistan’s girls are out of school. Only 20046 persist after they finish their matriculation at all because of early marriages. This gloomy picture is also a result of the overall underdevelopment in Balochistan that is far worse than other provinces. The government should take action about Balochistan’s women.

I would like to draw the attention of concerned authorities toward the gas crisis in Hub. Gas crisis in Hub is a known reality that consumers have been bearing over the last some years. Gas scarcity has brought life to a confused query. Residents raise their voices for gas shortage but no authority pays attention to this matter. Government is required to play a drastic role for supplying the gas in Hub.

Everyone is aware that in recent days, street crime is increasing day to day. In Hub, every day and night people fear to walk in bazaar and are afraid to take out their cell phones due to the thieves since the police is also involved in such crimes. My own friend’s mobile was stolen by some burglars but he couldn’t catch them. It does not just happen with my friend but also other people are suffering from same problem. I request to the government to take action against burglars and protect the materials of the citizens.

Depression is a medical illness that has negative effects on a person’s health and it has become a serious issue in Pakistan. It can decrease a person’s ability to function. Mostly, the young generation at the age of 17 are the victims of depression and losing their interest in day to day activities. Because of depression countless diseases can attack the people. It is my request to every individual to be saved from depression.

Awaran, with the tremendous population, is a well known district in Balochistan. Unfortunately, it is deprived from basic necessities including facilities in hospitals, schools, electricity and one of the basic requirements that is clean and safe drinking water. People are facing paramount problems because of no access to water, especially for women and children who are suffering badly. They take the jars and buckets on their heads to carry out water from miles away to meet their dem domestic needs and travel far place to wash clothes. However, water is the basic need of every human being but our government is failed to provide water to its people. The government should solve this pressing issue so that people should have access to water and other necessary materials.

In Pasni, mostly people are fishermen and for fishermen jetty is everything but unfortunately Pasni is devoid from jetty. It is the only source for public of Pasni to live comfortable life. Because of this ruined jetty, small boats cannot come. Day by day, it is being full of sand, garbages and other pollutants. If government does not take step for reconstruction of jetty, it might be destroyed for poor and fishermen. I request to the government to repair jetty soon and solve the problems of fishermen.

Through your esteemed newspaper, I want to draw the attention of higher authorities toward increasing begging trend in Turbat.
Beggars are seen everywhere in every street and bazaars and they have access to hospitals even they have started begging on the M_8 Highway. The majority of beggars are young children who are forced to beg instead of getting education. Most people after committing a crime become beggars in order to hide their identity and most of them are involved in child lifting.
The government should check this social evil with iron hands and the public should also cooperate with the authorities to crush this evil practice.

Early marriage seems a confused query for all of us which is common everywhere. It is increasing every few minutes due to unawareness of parents. It is estimated by WHO World Health Organisation that each year countless issues are occurring in every country among of them mostly Pakistan and Afghanistan are more suffering from this. Due to it suicide, poverty child labour and illiteracy cases are absorbing. Eventually, it is my request to WHO to take serious actions upon this issue.

It is my responsibility to bring the chaotic condition of Turbat city’s traffic jam which has become a serious problem for us. It is causing many accidents day by day. The traffic jam is increasing and people are also facing many problems. Besides this, we know that the number of vehicles on the road is on rise and there is no proportional increase in the number of roads so traffic jams are happening. I hope that the government will take a serious action on this and soon finish this problem for us.
