The horrendous tales of human smuggling in ‘The allure of greener pastures’ (Oct 14) are heart-rending. Every conscientious-minded Pakistani with some self respect has to hang his head in shame after reading the stories of hordes of people smuggled through all kinds of odd channels, caught, persecuted and deported, along with the fining of the national airline in pounds, dollars and euro. All this is happening while we go on adding agencies, incidently now numbering a good foursome, to check and control human smuggling through fake documentation.
Do we need to go on adding a number of agencies to check this menace or rather have one effective force manned by committed, competent and well trained people, backed by relevant effective laws and fair operative judicial system?

The article on ‘The eligible bachelor’ (TR Oct 7)was very interesting and the easy and conversational style added to the flavour of the topic. Please keep this up. As far as the subject is concerned it was a little bit one-sided because for young men this period is the most enjoyable in their lives and they like to look at pretty ladies. So to be fair, TR should now print an article on young ladies who are on the lookout for handsome men.
