Unemployment: a serious issue
Dear Editor,
The issue of unemployment in Pakistan has become a trending topic and a serious concern. Unemployment particularly affects the youth, leaving a significant portion of them without jobs. Pakistan is lagging behind in providing adequate employment opportunities to its youth. The lack of employment has further discouraged many young people from continuing their education. If this trend persists, it will have severe consequences, as many young individuals will suffer and may be forced to leave the country in search of better opportunities. In 2023, the youth unemployment rate was 9.65%, and this alarming situation continues to worsen due to the increasing lack of job opportunities.
The consequences of unemployment are dire, as many young people fall into depression, try to leave the country legally or illegally, or, in extreme cases, resort to suicide. Unchecked unemployment can lead to further social and economic issues, exacerbating the challenges faced by the nation.
The government must take immediate action to address this crisis. Creating and providing more job opportunities for the youth will not only reduce unemployment but also prevent brain drain, alleviate depression, and restore hope among the youth. Effective policies and initiatives to stimulate employment can significantly improve the situation and bring about positive change for Pakistan’s future.

Plight of Sarej Gresha students
Dear Editor,
I am writing to bring to your attention the dire situation regarding the lack of teachers in Sarej Gresha, a small area located in the Khuzdar district. It is imperative to shed light on the plight of the students in this region. The absence of teachers has led to an educational crisis, leaving students feeling frustrated and disillusioned. The consequences of this neglect are far-reaching, and if left unaddressed, it may result in the complete collapse of educational opportunities for the youth of Gresha.
The circumstances are alarming, and immediate action is essential. I urge an official delegation to visit the school and assess the conditions firsthand. Such an assessment will provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by both students and the education system in this area.
I hope this letter serves as a catalyst for change, prompting the relevant authorities to take swift and decisive action. The students of Gresha deserve equal access to quality education, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure their rights are upheld.
Israr Wazeer, Sarej Gresha
