Street crime
The city of Karachi has witnessed a major increase in street crime over the past couple of years and the city is again in the grip of these scams as they tend to grow more than normal, particularly on different occasions.
Just recently on the Eve of New Year and on Eid many civilians fell victim to mobile snatching pick-pocketing, etc. These crimes are usually carried out by youths that have been unemployed for a long time.
The government has to take this issue seriously not only because many citizens are losing their belongings and feel unsafe, but also because the lives of many youngsters involved in such crimes are at stake.

Stop
staring!
Over the past few weeks many people complained, especially girls that people stare at them, but I think we should ignore such people. I think that it is partially our own fault. If we look around, we’ll see a lot of girls wearing improper outfits and then they complain that people stare.
Not that they look beautiful that others stare at them it’s that they look weird that is why everyone looks at them. So one thing that we must keep in mind while complaining about people staring is that we must dress decently.
Second, at times we find decently clad girls being stared at as well. When this happens the best thing to do is to ignore it.
You can change one or two people but you cannot change everyone. The fact is that although Karachi seems to be a very modern city, yet people need to change and get educated to accept individuals as they are and to stop staring.

Unimplemented laws
A law that bans the practice of serving meals at weddings has been passed. Unfortunately its implementation is nowhere to be seen. It is, no doubt, a beneficial law that discourages extravagance. But the citizens, with the co-operation of the law-enforcement agencies, exploit it.
Recently, a piece of news published in the DAWN, informed the readers that numerous high-ranking government officials attended a wedding where they enjoyed numerous dishes .
I don’t understand why law-makers make laws that they fail to implement themselves. The government should not only enforce laws but should also a keep a check
on their implementation. If it fails to do so, it will create a very negative impression.
