Benazir Library

Published January 2, 2019

BENAZIR Library in Jacobabad suffers from a number of problems such as frequent loadshedding, the absence of power generators and a dearth of new books and material relating to the new syllabus of Central Superior Service, Sindh Public Service Commission and Chartered Accountant examinations.

Also, no English newspaper is available. I hope the relevant authorities will look into the problems.
