Every country has some worthy dates for celebration every year which are known to every person in the country.
Pakistan also has some special dates like 5 February, 23 March, 14 August, 9 November, and 25 December. These dates are very special for us because something special occurred on these dates. But, unfortunately, many of us do not know about the importance of these dates. The reason is that our teachers instead of lecturing the students on these days, are off on a holiday.
I request the teachers and headmasters of schools to not give holidays on such days. Instead, a lecture about the significance of that day should be arranged. By this, our youth will know something about that day.

Merging Levies Force
Balochistan levies are paramilitary gendarmerie in the Pakistani province of Balochistan. It operates as one of two basic law enforcement agencies tasked with maintaining law and order in the province.The levies force has jurisdiction in most districts of Balochistan. It has its own origins back in the days of British Raj.
Moreover, areas which are manned by and are under the control of the levies are called ”B-Areas” which constitute around 90% of the total area of Balochistan. Even Though, Balochistan levies had been disbanded and merged into the provincial police force the regime of Parveez Mushraf in 2002. After that, it was restored in 2010 by Balochistan’s C M Aslim Rasani. But once again the propagandas are proceeding to disband Balochistan levies force. When the levies change into police once again terrorism gets birth in Balochistan. Because levise is the single patriotic and civial force whose focus is on controling the terrorism, drug seller, etc.
It is highly requested by the Balochistan leaders to break the merging levies force.

Voice of BMC students
Students, especially doctors are the future of the country. They are portrayed as the backbone of the country, but unfortunately the students of Balochistan are the victim of ignorance which may be the main cause of backwardness of Balochistan in this developed era.
Recently, the fee issue was raised in Bolan University of Medical and Science in Balochistan which is, unfortunately, one and only medical university of Balochistan in today’s progressive day and age.
Students, in this cold winter and snowy season in Quetta, have camped outside BUHMS and university has been closed for three weeks. And the voice chauncler (VC) is ignoring the students’ sitting empty handed. It should come to the notice of everyone that Balochistan is the least developed province of Pakistan where poverty is touching the peak of sky. So, how can poor pay such high ranks of 94,000 thousand each year?
Looking at the circumstances of the habitat of Balochistan especially the students, it is a humble request to the CM Jaam Kamal and head of education department especially (HEC) to lower the amount of fee in BUHMS. Due to this, the students may start their study happily and bring Balochistan to the same status as other provinces are.

Islamic banking?
There is a lot of debate on Islamic Banking being Shariah compliant itself, I have been using the services of different Islamic banks only because the concept has been cleared approved and managed by religious scholars. The point that worries me in this regard is that in some forms the conventional banking still exists, for example penalty on late payments. In addition to that on my recent out of country trip I noticed that on usage of debit card abroad a fix fee is being charged of upto Rs 50 varying as per banks. Now this fee cannot be Islamic, I am sure. However, if someone could reply and prove that it is not I shall be glad to accept.

Drug addiction
It is tragic to know that many teenagers in Pakistan are becoming addicted to drugs, heroin, tobacco and alcohol. Harmful effects of these things compel them to lead humdrum life. There are several reasons for taking drugs; when parents of teenagers don’t meet their demands or expectations they begin to take drugs with the help of bad friends. Secondly, parents don’t give them much time and remain unacquainted with their activities and this creates a sense of inferiority complex so children fall into the hands of bad company. This matter is of the paramount importance and parents must remain in touch with them. It has been reported that girls in the university hostels have been taking drugs. Drug abuse has become common in educational institutes in Pakistan.
There are several families who have been suffering from this abuse and their breadwinners are the drug addicted. Whoever takes the drug, their self-esteem goes into pieces, and they become compulsive drug addicted.It seems that the government has failed to control the drug selling,and drug dealers. Therefore, I request here, the government must go to great pains to control the illegal drug supply, and take substantive measures in order to get the children rid of the drug,Because teenagers are assets of tomorrow so their future must be saved.
