SANCTITY OF LAW: When the rule of law is disregarded, progress becomes unattainable. Regrettably, those entrusted with upholding the laws, like the police force, are undermining them. Justice, equality, and the rule of law are fundamental pillars of any society without which it has practically no hope of making any worthwhile progress. Laws and regulations are intended to be enforced, not trampled upon. We must uphold them and ensure they serve everyone, regardless of one’s political, social, ethnic or economic background.

EXAM FIASCO: The examination process in Sindh is plagued by poor management and corruption. Cheating and bribery have become routine affairs. Moreover, exams are held in overcrowded, poorly maintained centres, often lacking basic facilities. To add to the distress, the frequent delay in examination results causes anxiety and chaos among the students. The government must implement urgent and effective reforms to restore people’s trust in the system.

FUTURE AT STAKE: Armed criminals launched a brazen attack in Mehr Khan Rustamani village in Nawabshah. Although an FIR was registered, no significant action has been taken against the culprits. The suspects continue to harass the villagers by firing indiscriminately and issuing threats. The higher authorities should take action against the criminals and their influential patrons.

SUMMER AND FRUSTRATION: Lengthy loadshedding at examination centres in Karachi is a serious challenge to overcome for those involved. Students are drenched in sweat while trying to finish their exam. It leads to frustration, irritation and discomfort. It is crucial for K-Electric (KE) to ensure smooth supply of electricity at examination centres. The government should monitor the situation actively.
