A Gigantic Step in dying bed.

It is in the reference to the recent press conference of Maulana Chitrali (MNA) on dated 18/04/2007, he openly disclosed the mismanagement, nepotism and mal practices in education department. In today�s brain driven economy education plays the most important role for the development of any nation. If anybody would try to summarize the causes of the downfall of Muslim Umma in two words, that will be the �Sub-standard education�. Had the Standard of education not been so low, our Muslim Umma would have not been in such miserable position as we have been passing through now a day. To eliminate the causes of this down-fall we need substantial and corrective steps in education department, so our MNA is doing the same we appreciate his these bold steps towards the education department but the objectionable thing which every body with common sense can raise the question like, why such steps are being taken in the dying days of MMA govt,
the MNA and his govt should have to thing about this problems in the early days of their govt. So the common man could have enjoyed benefit from their corrective measures. Maulana Chitrali also mentioned about the employees who are entrenched with their pool for 14 years but what about the employees who have been working in WAPDA for more than 24 years. So those employees who have struck to their seats became stagnant and spoil the whole pool. So our suggestion
in this regard is that for every govt. servant there must be a specific tenure to serve in a seat. Another suggestion about education department is that for the administration in education there must be professional administrator, these administrator of high cadre must be commissioned officers where as in our education department the senior teachers are being posted as the administrators. Such govt. officers have already exhausted their energies in teaching and also their
subordinates are actually their colleagues in past, so they can�t take a solid step towards them. Teachings and administration both are the different profession so there must be different professional of each department.

Mulkhow village always  sidelined in Dev: Project

Dear editor,

This is written in response to letter written by Mohammad Zafaruddin from Mulkhow, demanding TV boaster for Mulkhow. Needless to say that Mulkhow village has always been sidelined in developmental projects like these. Let us take the example of Tehsil Mastuj (previously called so). Three digital telephone exchanges were built in this particular Tehsil, but there was no single one for Mulkhow. Similarly there are television broadcast center operating in Booni Mastuj, but residents of Mulkhow are deprived of this facility. It is obvious that residents of Mulkhow have been treated like second-class citizens and they have never been a priority in terms of developmental projects. I am glad that people have realized that they are being treated unfairly, and it is their right to raise their concerns for this injustice. Unless and until we don't raise voice against injustices, these will continue to exist, and a day will come when we will left with no options except to say sorry.

It is a humble request to the concerned authorities that they should distribute developmental projects equally throughout the district so that every individual can get chance to make use of them.

Destroyed villages

Was there another village destroyed
Why did the people come to celebrate.
                                (Ahmad Faraz)

The next day after the avalanche hit the village Washich Chitral, we saw some Army helicopters hovering the sky of Chitral, another helicopter was also landing, late on C-130 also landed and our political leaders were seen in the airport trying reserve seat to visit the effected area. Media also gave full coverage to the tragedy and BBC also contributed in the regard to keep up to dated the people about the tragedy. Everybody was satisfied with the govt�s timely mobilization of its machinery, one of our omnipresent federal minister also paid a photogenic to the area, but our provincial leader did not get bother even to play such kind of drama too.

When the dust settled, having observed the ground realities everybody was surprised that noting substantial relief items have been shifted to the effectees neither the monetary helps were given to the people. So the relief goods drama ended with out a proper ending. It was really not a well-written, well-heated drama to inspire the people of Chitral. The next phase was that the local people staged protest demonstration against insufficient relief goods supplied to the people. One of our Kalash activists and social worker said in an interview on PTV, that in the eve of 8th October all the nation was arise, but in this high time in Chitral where more than 70 people lost their lives and the whole infrastructure was destroyed no body from down country gave any attention to this event. This thing arises a kind of dissatisfaction and a sense of alienation among the people of my locality. It is said that late is better then never, so govt should also take some steps to provide the relief goods to the affected people and also disburse the promised monetary help to the people of Washich as soon as possible.
