Lawlessness, violence and target killings reign in Sindh province. The seeds of lawlessness, violence and chaos which were sown during the past dictatorial regimes in this once peaceful and harmonious province, Sindh; now they have become incurable with the present politicised state machinery, in particular, the law enforcement agencies. Even though Sindhis are protesting against lawlessness, the spread of illegal weapons, especially, in the provincial capital, Karachi, and the state’s inability to control the armed groups and mafias, nothing has been done about it.
In this dismal scenario of lawlessness, now the loadshedding plagues the districts of upper and lower Sindh. Electricity is supplied to the consumers for hardly two to three hours. In this painful situation, open manholes and gutters have become the breeding grounds for deadly mosquitoes. These three thing combined – lawlessness, loadshedding and mosquitoes – have made the lives if the people miserable.
Is there anyone to control the lawlessness, minimise loadshedding and eliminate mosquitoes? The people of Sindh, nay Pakistan, are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Will even one of these problems be solved on the inept watch of the current government?
