Karachi City
Karachi :
Province : Sindh Province
Country: Pakistan
Latitude: 24 51 N
Longitude: 67 02 E
Karachi's current population: estimated to be 20 million
Problems of karachi City:
Apart form early marriages and traffic control we have even bigger problems in our city around us and nobody is there to care about it.
According to me few major problems are:
Rising street crime rate.
Joblessness.
Rising rates of common utilities.
Electricity Breakdown every now and then and high electricity bills.
Pollution in various ways.
Corrupt Print and Electronic media
and most of all
the worst educational system.
1) Rising street crime rate :
These days
pillion riding is banned in City but still i see many people around me pillion riding, either police is not keeping strick check on them or people dont want the situation to be in control. Moreover ban on pillion riding is helpless because few days back i've heard many mobile snaching cases even on geo tv few days back i saw some robbery scene at Atm machine.
2) Joblessness :
Joblessness in Karachi,
Joblessness is the root of every social mischief be it on a large scale or small. Joblessness pushes people with weak faiths into illegal ways of earning, like bribe, robbery and fraud etc. Hence a sound system in the government policies regarding the elimination of joblessness is needed desperately in every country throughout the world.
The reasons for this dilemma are countless. The world market crashing all around is one of the chief culprits behind the issue. Karachi is nevertheless affected by such a situation. Karachi is the Hub of business in the country and all multinational companies happen to have their operations firmly established in the city. Since multinational companies relate their downfall just accordingly to the global scenario, the local operations are effected in equal magnitude. Hence Karachi suffers from the global economic crises.
A second major issue of joblessness in Karachi is the huge uncontrolled influx of people coming from all over the country to Karachi. Not that they should be blocked or arrested, this is not what I intend to say. What I do want to say is that there must be a control authority which controls the entry and exit of the citizens; exactly this happens in USA when American citizens wish to travel across the provinces. So Karachi is a victim of lawlessness as far as control is concerned. Any one at all can walk into Karachi and sit in some corner street and learn to polish shoes and start earning. Similarly educated youth too from all over the country enter Karachi in search of jobs, so the problem is evident here. The quantity of available jobs is limited, but the expectants are not. An unlimited number of youths are entering the city in search of a job and the local Karachi citizens hence face a competition which is unfair.
Joblessness has to be countered by a sensible sane government. If I was in charge and in power what I would do was to put all the budget I had not in my personal protocol or my palace in UK, but in bringing about a change by inducing education into the children of my country. If I educate every child , we will have products tagged “ Made in Pakistan” all over the world. Joblessness won’t be an issue since every educated youth would be working for some industry. The industry would be local; Pakistani men working for Pakistani bosses supported by Pakistani staff. My dream is to make Pakistan a Japan like country. My target is to induce education as I earlier mentioned and I repeat so that a burst of industries of every type invest in our country and joblessness can disappear into the ashes.
3) Rising rates of common utilities :
This is a well known fact that the whole planet is suffering from food crises, joblessness and the rising petrol rates but if we compare Pakistan with other countries which became independent after Pakistan, ofcourse we'll see regret and nothing else.It is become impossible for a poor man to fulfill the needs of his family. Firstly people don’t get jobs but if the do indeed they have to suffer from these crises. Person earning Rs 14,000 is considered to be in middle class perhaps if we look closely we’ll see that he is not living a healthy life. There are tons of other expenses few are house rent transport expenses rising education fee for the children’s etc these things cant be manage I mean a responsible man can never compromise with his children’s school fee or he’ll become a burden to his householder by not giving rent on time, eating three times a day with family is not easy job for a middle class person living in Pakistan because he has already become a victim of metal disease and paranoia thus mental health is needed, but this certainly requires money. All I want to say is high utility bills and no good earning source is somehow related with the mental health of the middle class person living in Pakistan and no body is there to care about it. An individual is unable to take stand over this because this issue targets the whole nation and the whole nation is in trying to manage themselves in this region of chaos instead of figuring out what really going on in their city. These Feudal lords are destroying our economy and ruling us. They don’t let their people to get Education and the result remains same. People of villages don’t study they remain uneducated this is the main reason we’re lagging behind because literacy rate of Pakistan is vary low, people don’t have a sense of choosing the best leader for them, they keep voting such feudal lord because poor villagers are brain washed and literate. Who is going to care about it? Feudal Lords? Or no one?
Think about it.
4) Electricity Breakdown every now and then and high electricity bills :
This is another problem we face everyday perhaps it’s a part of our daily routine now. Especially in summer season when electricity is most important thing but we hopelessly try to manage ourselves in hot climate without fan on. This is so obvious that not everybody can afford to buy UPS/electricity generating system in their houses I will talk about middle class man even if he get his family a generator after all it requires petrol which is unaffordable for him. There are no electricity crises in the world but here in Pakistan why are we suffering if we are giving our taxes and electricity bills before due date. Some one told me that KECS generate current from Petrol as a chemical engineer I’ll say this is the most stupid thing I ever come across with. There are even better ways to generate electric current rather then using petrol, I want KESC to generate electric current with the help of Wind mills, we don’t have wind mills we need to build them first. 24 hours Electricity is our right. I don’t know if at this very moment my PC turn off because of electricity breakdown, I won’t be remembering things correctly that i wrote. Sudden electricity breakdown and fluctuation destroys electronic appliances like television refrigerator computer and many others who is responsible for this? KECS ? wapda ? Or the people who suffers?
And all this leads a normal person to steal electricity.
5) Pollution in various ways :
Pollution is contamination that destroys system and health, there are various kinds of pollution. With respect to my city I‘ll discuss the following only
-Air pollution
-Water pollution
-Noise Pollution
Air Pollution :
Air pollution, or atmospheric contamination is an acute problem throughout the country. Among the many causes of air pollution are industrial operations, transportation vehicles and incineration of rubbish and waste by individuals. Many contaminants may be eliminated at the point of production, for example, proper maintenance of you car engine may help in this case, regular cleaning of common waste before it effect the environment. However we cannot prevent Ozone from industrial waste.
Water pollution :
Contamination of water is called water pollution. Efficient sewage disposal is important to the health of any community. The easy method of disposal in the past was by dilution the waste was dumped into an available body of water such as river or lake, where the already present oxygen would in time destroy the organic sewage. However dilution is no longer tolerated even in places where it is satisfactory. There is simply not enough water with which to dilute the large amount of waste from our increasing population and industry. Thus population control in every city is required as this over population is destroying Karachi. Government must not let non karachittes in Karachi especially when there is no space and stability in the city.
Noise Pollution :
Loudness in voice mainly causes noise pollution. Some times it becomes hard to resists when on road I hear “BEEP BEEP” voice and like road runner a public buss passes me by with the velocity of light and other strange disturbing horns. Loud music also creates noise pollution even if you think that the music you are playing is smooth but it is not smooth for everyone around you.
We are responsible for our health and others around us. It’s our duty to keep check on our activities and minimize the rate of environmental pollution in our City.

ReplyDeleteThese days it is becoming very fashionable to heap praise on Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gillani but shall we be doing it at the cost of facts.
ReplyDeleteBeing from the same city of Multan as Yusuf Raza Gillani and Javed Hashmi, I can tell you that the Prime Minister may be a good wheeling dealing politician and he may have served prison for his beliefs but he represents the same medieval thought of “Gaddi Nasheens” which is so prevalent all over Pakistan.
Gillani’s own constituency is a mess and he gets elected on the base that he is a Syed (descendent of the Prophet (PBUH)) and a lot of people who are followers of his particular “Gaddi” live in his constituency. I can tell you that despite him becoming the member of the national assembly many times, the people in his constituency have never seen any development whatsoever. I am aware of the fact that members of the federal legislature are supposed to do law making and not take care of local infrastructure but one need to be blind to not raise this issue in the parliament or appropriate funds for the city’s development.
The’ Gaddi Nasheens’, the ‘Makhdooms’ try to retain their power by marrying their offspring into families of similar credentials and Mr Gillani was no different when his son married the daughter of Pir Pagaro.
Please do not lionise these people until they start working for the common man on the street. They write their books to absolve them of the wrongs they have committed in the past but they are not worth a single word of praise until people on the streets of Pakistan see the benefits of increase in GDP and other financial indices.
To realise that common man is suffering, just come to the streets of Multan, and see for yourself. The irony is that Multan has given current Pakistan National Assembly a Prime Minister (Makhdoom Yusuf Raza Gillani), a foreign minister (Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi) and the leading light of Pakistan Muslim League (Makhdoom Javed Hashmi) and after all that ask the people of Multan if they have reaped any democracy dividend and answer will be resounding ‘No’. All these ‘Makhdooms’ have to become ‘Khadims’ to deserve any praise. These guys are the past, they should be discussed as people whose practices should be held as a guide ‘what not to do’ after getting into power.
We must work towards helping people understand who really is worth voting for, who has never worked for a dictatorship (Gillani was a member of Mujlis-e-Shura) in General Zia’s government) and who will not bring their own offspring to rule us. We don’t need any further Billawal Zardaris, Hamza Shahbazs or Monis Ellahis and for that we have to tell people the truth and nothing but truth.
