Water crisis in Gwadar

It is shocking that Gwadar has an acute water shortage. It has been determined that the underground water level has collapsed to 1,000 feet and it is anticipated to diminish further.

It is unfortunate that most citizens are facing water shortage and they have to depend upon water tankers that they purchase at a high rate. Thus I request the government to ensure sufficient supply of water in Gwadar as soon as possible.

Behave well with servants

As Muslims, we all should know that no one is superior or inferior to anyone else, we all have equal rights. So, why do we behave badly with servants? Is this justice?

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is a role model for all of us. When he was so nice with everyone, then why do we try to rule over the poor and the needy?

Dear friends, just be polite to all and give respect to your servants and the poor. Share and cherish beautiful moments with them as they really need happiness and compassion too.

College hostel in Turbat needed

Atta Shad Degree College Turbat is the only government college in Turbat. The population of Turbat is more than five lakhs. Many of those who study there are poor.

Atta Shad Degree College students are facing a lot of problems, but the main problem is that of the absence of a college hostel. Student of the college, many of whom come to study from the neighbouring areas, are compelled to live in rented rooms.

The average rent of a room is around Rs 5,000 and add to this other expenses such as the water, electricity and food bills, and the amount is another Rs 5,000 rupees. How can a poor student pay Rs10,000 rupees in a month?

Therefore, it is requested to the government of Balochistan that a hotel for the students of Atta Shad Degree College Turbat is built on urgent basis.

Education is girls’ right too

This is regarding the article “Education is girls’ rights too” by Zeeshan Nasir (YW, December 1). It is true that education is girls’ rights too but, sadly, girls do not enjoy the rights that boys do.

There are many girls like Banadi who have to give up their studies due to the restrictions placed on them. The story was well-written and it had a great lesson for us. I would like to request the Young World team to publish more articles and stories like this one.
