MIR Masoom Shah Library is the only one in Sukkur that enables many people to study and increase their skills collectively. However, owing to undue delay in renovation work of the library, a cross-section of people attending it have been deprived of the facility.

In fact, the fund of the library has been unfairly used for building homes for individuals within the boundary of the library. Such misuse of public property is indeed a blow to the education sector of the province. In fact it was largely due to the unavailability of the library in Sukkur that no candidate was able to excel in CSS examinations in 2010. Readers and candidates now are deprived of a library and are compelled to study collectively at small hotels.

The authorities concerned should take notice of the issue.
