Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto Memorial Public Library in Larkana is a cradle of future bureaucrats, doctors, engineers and educators. It is a place where young minds are shaped and polished. Every day, thousands of students between the ages of seven and 30, mostly from middle- and lower-middle-class backgrounds, arrive early in the morning to study. However, recent power outages have severely impacted their ability to focus and learn. The large, crowded halls quickly become unbearably hot and, without air conditioners, studying becomes nearly impossible.
The library administration, in its kindness, has arranged for generator power. But, in the scorching 50C heat of Larkana, this is not enough. Air conditioners are essential for a conducive learning environment. I urge the concerned authorities to instruct electricity providers to ensure an uninterrupted power supply during library hours. The uninterrupted education of these determined young individuals – our nation’s future leaders – must not be compromised.
