Rather than bashing others why don't we concentrate on our own issues please!!!!
Human life wilts under chronic Thar crisis
According to the latest statistics, the first quarter of 2017, recorded 87 deaths while the aggregate number of deaths recorded in previous year of 2016 was 479, surpassing the death toll in the recent six years from 1500. On average 300 to 400 children are admitted in hospitals each month. Out of which 15% succumb to malnutrition and other chronical diseases.
In spite of a marginal fall in the intensity of deaths since the first time the crisis emerged in 2011, death continues to prevail over life in this far flung area of Sindh.
This points towards the fact that both the provincial and federal governments have so far failed to take measures to improve the plight of thousands of inhabitants of this desert region.Sindh High court expressed deep resentment on the report presented in May, this year, over the intractable dilemma in Thar. The report discussed the multidimensional causes of the crisis and referred the absence of basic health facilities , unfair wheat distribution, contaminated water resources with excessive fluoride leading dental and skeletal diseases and orthodox social tradition of early marriage as the substantive problems.
The report on the other hand, also pointed out that the non-functional Sindh Public Service commission, despite orders of the Apex Court have barred the Provincial health sector from deploying adequate numbers of doctors for an approximate population of 1308,368, spread throughout the region of 22,000 sq. km
