Woes of medical students
Deterioration of education in our country is an open secret while the plight of health sector is not that different.
This is manifested from agonies of medical students, and their protests in the wake of controversial medical entrance test conducted by PMC.
Medical students in countrywide protests against PMC are voicing number of grievances.
Dichotomy in the syllabus and test, difference in difficulty level of tests conducted on different days, online test over physical one are some of serious reservations that question the efficiency of this federal medical body.
Resultantly many aspirants end in psychological sufferings like anxiety, frustration, depression and in some extreme cases suicide.
The incumbent government needs to redress the grievances of medical students and rethink rules of business and selection procedures in line with transparent testing mechanisms.

Unemployment
Wish to draw attention of Federal and Balochistan governments regarding rising unemployment in the province.
Unfortunately, there are almost 2 million people who are still jobless only in Balochistan. This province has lots of resources but still peoples are jobless.
Even educated and qualified teachers are jobless. They are forced to teach in private schools but salary is very less and thus their life has become miserable. The government must take urgent action regarding unemployment.

Smoking is injurious to health
Smoking is one of the most common problems among the youth nowadays. It is a hard habit to break once you get addicted to it because it contains nicotine which is an addictive chemical.
It affects your body too badly, it can cause respiratory disorders, heart problems, stroke, gum diseases, yellowing of teeth and last but not the least lung cancer which can shepherd you towards your last station of life which is death.
It cannot only affect you but can also have a hazardous impact on your surroundings like your family. Because they remain in the smoke of your burning cigarette and they have equal chances to get diseases.
So, every time you light up the cigarette you are saying your life and surroundings are not worth living.
You must avoid this bad habit; it can increase your life expectancy with a healthy and disease-free body. Thus, if you are the slave of cigarettes, it’s not late to quit with proper planning and if you want to try for the first time just for joy then remember: once you start it’s hard to stop.

No outlet for sewerage water
This is in reference to letter ‘Sewerage water in Kandhkot city’. It is most disturbing sight in the streets of Kandhkot where filthy water from gutters, nullahs has made life miserable for pedestrians that includes women and children to walk through the roads.
In addition this sewerage water contaminates clean water which give rise to life threatening diseases like cholera, typhoid and dysentery etc.
People of Kandhkot demand that authorities concerned should immediately tackle this longstanding problem to give respite to people.
