Hostel life

Published October 12, 2019

MY family sent me to Turbat to acquire a good education. However, this is becoming difficult day by day as we don’t even have basic facilities available.

Living in Turbat is like living in the stone age. Forget having a proper education system or regular access to electricity or public spaces to enjoy with family and friends. We don’t have clean drinking water or enough water to wash our faces with on a daily basis.

I request the government to look into this issue and help us as soon as possible. How can we excel in academics if we have to fight over water?
