Wrong language

Published June 20, 2017

IT was a pleasant surprise to read two advertisements published in your newspaper on June 4 regarding ‘Women dump truck drivers’ for empowering Thari women and another public notice by the Sindh government to all fishermen regarding the ban on catching shrimp and fish from June 1 to July 1.

In view of our existing level of English education in Tharparkar and the sea belt of Sindh and Balochistan, hardly any Thari woman or any fisherman would have read your advertisements. So , it would have been better if the above advertisements had been published in some local Sindhi newspaper.
