Sindh Public Service Commission: Youth At Your Mercy!

Youth At Spsc Mercy!
Pakistan Observer
14-07-2013
Theoretically, Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) is considered to be an independent body of recruiting meritorious candidates of Sindh but practically it is dysfunctional institution of the province. Though, All other provincial service commissions announce PCS exam every year with a margin of 5 years age relaxation while our legacy based or merit slaughtering institution Spsc takes 5 years to announce PCS exam for dedicating and hard-working students of Sindh.

The Chief Minister and Chief Secretary who are solely responsible of Sindhis future, should have taken notice that why age relaxation has not been granted which is fundamental right of the students? The intensity of depravity has gone to such extent that students of Sindh have started committing suicides for not having decent jobs despite hard-work of 5 years. I appeal to heads of all concerned institutions, if you do not want to take any action then please liberate us from this SPSC existence. Shut its office, let seats be sold by brokers. In the name of merit we are always psychologically and socially murdered. SPSC has done enough to play with educated youth of Sindh, if you intend to benefit the masses then grant minimum 5 years age relaxation in the larger interest of public.

PCS Age Relaxation: A New Drama

Age relaxation: A new drama
The Frontier Post
13-07-2013

Theoretically, Sindh Public Service Commission is considered to be an independent body of recruiting meritorious candidates of Sindh but practically it is the most corrupt, dishonest, and dysfunctional institution of the province.
Though, all other Provincial Service Commissions announce PCS exam every year with a margin of 5-year age relaxation while our legacy based or merit slaughtering institution SPSC takes 5 years to announce PCS exams for dedicating and hard-working students of Sindh. Corruption charges against SPSC Chairman is not something new and not subject to be discussed but what drives me to wonder that if he could manage to relax rules to benefit his own son then how come he forgot to discuss the 5-year age relaxation- which is in benefit of poor Sindhi students who wasted their precious years by waiting for the exams? Not only this, The Chief Minister and Chief Secretary who are solely responsible of Sindhis’ future, should have taken notice of this advertisement and asked why age relaxation has not been granted which is fundamental right of the students?
The intensity of depravity has gone to such extent that students of Sindh have started committing suicides for not having decent jobs despite hard-work of five years. I appeal to heads of all institutions to take notice of the situation to save lives of the poor students.

Check Reckless Driving

Check Reckless Driving
Pakistan Observer
07-07-13
It has been years to travel through the different roads of Pakistan.  What I have so far noticed that occurrence of accidents on big Sharahs like Sharah E Faisal and M.A Jinnah road (Karachi), Lawrence road and Muzzang Chungi (Lahore) is a common phenomena and turned out to be a matter of every day. Thousands of lives have been lost in such unprecedented incidents but no attention has been paid by the concerned authorities to get it lessened. It will not be exaggeration to state that media is also not giving the same degree of attention to this issue that it gives to criminal and other petty issues. A road accident can only be prevented by adopting organized and efficient transportation policy. Prior to this, it is also necessary to build above cited roads wider and traffic free. Apart from this, bike users, local buses, small vehicles, and heavy vehicles should also have separate drawn lines on the road to ply with.  Besides, those who do not possess driving license should not be allowed to run any vehicle on the roads.  It is also duty of the government to provide driving licenses with least formalities and official procedure.  Last but not the least, Schools, colleges, universities and different local or national based institutions should also conduct regular seminars on different social issues and guide our people from time to time.  Remember, we Pakistanis cannot bring change in our lives and country unless we intend to change.
