Dear Editor,

‘Being a young lawyer in Pakistan’ by Mannan Samad (23 January issue) was a great cover story, as it highlighted a very important issue affecting young people in our country: low salary. However, I would like to point out that this problem exists in almost all fields, except perhaps medicine. I am an engineer, yet my salary is lower than that of the drivers employed by the company I work for. To supplement my income, I also drive for Yango. However, losing heart is not the solution. We must continue to work hard and not consider any job beneath us, even if we are highly educated.

Dear Editor,

I am a regular reader of Us magazine published by The News. I have also contributed articles in the past, and my interview has been published in the magazine. For some time now, I have noticed that the weekly edition of Us magazine is no longer being uploaded on the website. This is a matter of concern for me and other regular readers. I would appreciate it if you could kindly let me know whether Us magazine has been discontinued online or if this is due to a temporary technical issue that is expected to be resolved.

Menace of over-speeding

Dear Editor,

Over-speeding has become one of the leading causes of road accidents in our country. Almost every day, precious lives are lost due to reckless driving, turning our roads into death traps rather than safe passageways. Many drivers believe that speeding will help them reach their destination sooner, without realising the serious danger it poses to themselves and others. Over-speeding greatly increases the risk of accidents and often results in severe injuries or loss of life.

This problem is especially alarming on routes such as the Quetta–Karachi highway, where bus drivers frequently drive at dangerously high speeds with little regard for passenger safety. Public transport drivers must be held accountable, and traffic laws should be enforced strictly to curb such behaviour. The government should also consider digital monitoring systems that allow passengers to report violations. Over-speeding is a silent killer, and valuing human life over haste is urgently needed.
