- the fact that though youth activism has existed for a long time it is more influential nowadays due to the digital age so we must listen to young people, invest in their education and ensure their voice is heard so they feel they are relevant and useful citizens. People say the government and organisations should encourage peaceful youth involvement and listen to issues and opinions important to them and their future and the future of the country.
- the report that while humanity stands at the peak of the greatest technological revolution in history, an invisible but intense competition is unfolding, not only on the ground but also in the skies above us and at the heart of this struggle lies a single resource: the internet. People say once expected to liberate us, this powerful tool is now so deeply embedded in our lives that it is turning us into mere dependents while it collects data for nefarious purposes.
- anti-encroachment action and how, though it is a good decision, it is evident that influential individuals and politically connected groups remain untouched, even when their encroached properties visibly violate public rights of way, while on the other hand, small vendors, labourers, fruit and vegetable cart owners and low-income individuals face immediate and ruthless demolition of their means of livelihood. People say this selective action not only exposes inequality but also erodes public trust in government institutions.
- the good news of how a research project of Mohammad Sarfraz, a student from a Balochistan University has won the Discover Natural Fibre Initiative (DNFI) Award for producing fibre from banana stems. People say Pakistan is among the largest banana producing countries, with millions of tons of banana waste generated each year. The efforts of this Balochistan student not only promise to alleviate poverty and create economic benefits but will also play a vital role in environmental conservation.
- how, in this era of technology, globalisation and social change, while witnessing unprecedented progress in economic development, education and communication, the impact of cultural decline is clearly visible. Culture is not about arts, dance or music but moral values, behaviour, etiquette, customs and ceremonies and when these erode, they harm both individual mental well-being and the social fabric. Globalisation has led to cultural clashes, allowing Western lifestyles to overshadow local traditions and virtues like modesty, empathy and respect are gradually diminishing.
- the report that in Pakistan an estimated 79 million persons lack access to proper toilet facilities and the crisis is most pronounced in rural areas, compounded by rapid population growth, weak infrastructure planning, recurring natural and man made disasters and shifting economic pressures. People say open defecation contaminates groundwater and natural water sources, fostering bacteria and pathogens that make water unsafe for consumption and also exposes everyone to disease carrying germs that affect their health and well being. - I.H.
