LACK OF TEST CENTRES IN CHITRAL: Candidates from northern areas, particularly those belonging to Chitral, face serious, challenges when making their way to the designated centres for appearing in various tests that are conducted by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC), the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) or any other testing agency. There are times when these challenges become insurmountable. The absence of test centres in Chitral is hurting the cause of the local young people. It is imperative to address this discrimination against the people of Chitral.

HIGH SCHOOL: The Government Girls Middle School, Agrovil Colony, Badin, was established in 1996-97, under the Sindh Middle School Project that was funded by the Asian Development Bank. Considering the ever-growing population and increasing demand for higher education in the area, the current school needs to be upgraded to the level of a high school. The school has been a beacon of hope for young girls in the community, and should keep that status. The authorities should prioritise the matter as it will make a significant difference in the lives of young girls.

POOR LABOURERS: The daily struggles of labourers, who form the backbone of society, are frequently disregarded. These individuals tirelessly contribute to various sectors, but their daily earnings barely amount to a couple of hundred rupees. In the face of rampant inflation and economic instability, these meagre earnings are woefully insufficient to sustain even the most basic standard of living. Many labourers are unable to afford essentials, such as food, shelter and healthcare, for themselves and their families. The government needs to provide better pay, healthcare and education opportunities to the poor labourers. They deserve fair treatment and a chance to improve their lives.
