Problems of Karachities

PROBLEMS OF KARACHITIES

Karachi is a city of problems. It is strange that one problem is solved another creeps in a trouble. There are few problems that are permanent. They are very acute and make the life a hell.

 Shortage of water in Karachi is acute. The city has since expanded enormously but arrangements for new sources of water to meet the need of expanding Karachi have not ever been made. A few years ago, Hub river scheme was completed but it also is not able to meet the demand. They have no heart to think about the difficulties people face in Karachi. Some parts of Karachi go without water for months.

In Karachi, the supply system of electricity is too old and defective. No attempt to change it has so far been earnestly made. Frequent power failures are common. The complaints are not attended to promptly to the result that people live without fans in hot summer noons and without light in night.

 Karachites also face the difficulty of going from one place to another. Buses and wagons are overloaded and passengers sit on the top even. Rickshaws and taxis are expensive due to high fare rate and defective meters. The traffic is a breathless rush with the results that fatal accidents take place daily. Education is also costly in Karachi. Government Schools are not sufficient to accommodate all the boys and girls. So people have to get their sons and daughter admitted in private schools that charge exorbitant fee and tax the parents with other charges like laboratory fee, bus fee etc.

 Crimes are at the peak in Karachi. In buses and wagons pockets are usually picked. Thefts, dacoities and burglaries are common. Murders are got very common, every day from ten to twenty peoples are died or targeted. Gangs kidnap young girl and small boys. Kidnapping for ransom is also common. Gang war and bhatta mafia is new addition in crime. Every where lawlessness rule and violence prevails.

 Corruption plagues Karachi. Bribery is the order of the day. One cannot get his genuine work done without bribing the office staff. Illegal gratification is a magic wand which can do anything in Karachi.
