MODERN-DAY HOLOCAUST: We have heard about the Holocaust and have despised the Nazis for the atrocities they had committed against the Jewish community. The modern-day Nazis, who have deprived the people of Gaza of food and water, have revived the memories of the Holocaust. History is repeating itself, and those who claim to be the victims of Nazi oppression are in a Nazi outfit. Adolf Hitler is reincarnated as Benjamin Netanyahu, and the nations turning a blind eye towards Israel’s brutality are playing the role of Benito Mussolini and Michinomiya Hirohito. Netanyahu must realise that Nazis are no more and neither is Hitler. Only their evil memories remain.

ELECTRONIC CREMATION: In Hinduism, the dead body is cremated. This requires a lot of wood. Many trees are cut down in order to obtain wood for the process. Electronic cremation is a safer and environment-friendly alternative. Such machines are used across the world, even in India. The community may import the machine and change the cremation process.

YELLOW LINE PROJECT: The Punjab government has planned to set up the Yellow Line transport system along the Canal Road in Lahore. The 24km stretch is one of the most beautiful areas of the city covered with fully grown trees. Why is the government bent on tarnishing it by raising structures that are not needed? Instead, the government should focus on improving traffic conditions on the road.
