The Coronavirus in China is spreading rapidly and the centre where the virus is rooted, Wuhan, is completely in the grip of this deadly virus. Many countries including US, Japan, India, Egypt, Turkey, South Korea, Iran, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are evacuating their students from Wuhan. Only Pakistani students are left there. More ever, 28,000 Pakistani women and children and 80,000 students have been left stranded in China. About 200 Pakistani passengers got stuck at the airport.
Instead of all the scenarios, our government is stubborn for it would not bring them back to Pakistan.
I got tears in my eyes seeing our students pleading on social media for help. Almost all the countries are evacuating their students. On the very other, the negligence of our government is leading them unaccompanied.
Exactly, don’t know what we are waiting for? Such citizens must be kept in isolation but they should be brought back, otherwise any further delay will result in a harsh situation and the responsible would solely be the state. I urge the concerned authorities to take immediate action for the people stuck out there so as leaving everything aside, they are kindred to Pakistan.

Climate catastrophe
The world is witnessing unprecedented climate change which seems to be aggravating with the passage of time. Be it fierce Australian bushfires, extreme weather conditions, changes in climate pattens, increased frequency of natural disaster, all these depict the gravity of this issue. The reason why our planet is heading towards the catastrophe is mainly ruthless human activities. Deforestation, industrialization, burning fossil fuels, greenhouse gas emissions etc are some of the major factors contributing to gruesome climate change.
As per the recent report by German watch, Pakistan has been ranked 5th most vulnerable country to climate change. However, Pakistan does not contribute massively in GHG emissions but it is most likely to be severely plagued by the climate change owing to its geographical location which makes it prone to the extreme weather conditions as well as natural disasters. Back in 2019, Lahore was labelled as the most polluted city in the world due to the dense smog engulfing the city and grossly affecting the air quality. In turn, various respiratory ailments develop among the citizens ultimately.
Furthermore, after measuring the tantalizing and devouring menace of the very matter, the world powers inaugurated some important treaties, accords and organizations to counter climate change reduction including the Paris Agreement. But the terms and conditions of the agreement prove to be only limited for the periphery countries, not for the core states which produce greenhouse gases on the highest level. As, the US—- one of the most industrial countries—- has yet not ratified the agreement. Thus, we all need to come on the same page and acknowledge the fact that it is a potential threat to our planet that needs to be addressed timely. In order to mitigate the effects of climate change, each individual and the world as a whole need to counter it effectively with meticulous strategies.
