  • Increasing Road Accidents

    ByJustpaste.in

    Through the pages of your newspaper, I would like to draw attention to the increasing number of road accidents in our area. Road accidents have become a serious problem, causing injuries, deaths and suffering for many families. Overspeeding, careless driving, dangerous overtaking and ignoring traffic rules are some of the major causes of these accidents. Poor road conditions and the lack of proper traffic control make the situation even worse. The authorities should take strict action against those who violate traffic rules. Speed limits should be enforced, roads should be repaired, and traffic awareness campaigns should be organized in schools and communities. Every life is precious. Drivers must understand that a few minutes saved through reckless driving are never worth risking a human life. I hope the concerned authorities will take immediate steps to reduce road accidents and make our roads safer

  • Keep lizards away with bird feathers

    ByJustpaste.in

    Seeing a lizard inside the house is quite common. Most house lizards are not poisonous or dangerous but many people feel uncomfortable or scared when they see them. This is why people often try simple home methods to keep lizards away. Lizards can actually help control insects because they eat small bugs. However most people still do not want them inside their homes. If lizards often appear on walls in the kitchen or in other parts of the house a few simple steps may help reduce their presence. Use bird feathers Some people use bird feathers as a traditional way to keep lizards away.  Lizards are natural prey for birds so the sight of feathers may make them feel that a bird could be nearby. Peacock feathers are sometimes placed in areas where lizards are often seen.  Besides being used as a traditional method they can also work as a decorative item. Try eggshells Eggshells are another popular home remedy. After using eggs the shells can be cleaned and placed in areas where lizards are commonly seen. Some people believe that the smell of eggshells may discourage lizards from staying in the area. However this method may not work equally well for everyone. Use garlic Garlic is also commonly used to keep lizards away because of its strong smell.  You can place a few garlic cloves near corners windows or other possible entry points. The strong smell may help discourage lizards from coming into these areas. Keep the House clean Home remedies alone may not be enough.  Keeping your house clean is one of the best ways to reduce lizard visits. Avoid leaving food uncovered and clean crumbs or leftover food quickly. It is also important to control insects because mosquitoes flies and other small bugs are a major food source for lizards. By keeping the home clean reducing insects and blocking possible entry points you can make your home less attractive to lizards.

  • Gas cooking may worsen asthma

    ByJustpaste.in

    A new US study suggests that using gas stoves at home may worsen asthma symptoms by reducing indoor air quality. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University studied 85 children and adults with moderate to severe asthma. Participants used gas stoves for four weeks before researchers replaced them with electric stoves at no cost. Their health was then monitored for another two to three months.  The team also measured indoor air pollution before and after the switch. The study found that burning natural gas releases harmful gases including nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide which can affect lung health over time. After switching to electric stoves nitrogen dioxide levels inside homes dropped by up to 70% while asthma symptoms became less severe. Researchers said the health improvements were similar to or even better than those usually seen with asthma medication. The study also found an 80% drop in asthma related absences from work or school and a 70% reduction in doctor visits. However the researchers said the study was small and lasted only a few months so larger and longer studies are needed to confirm the findings.

    Pakistan’s health system requires lasting reform

    ByJustpaste.in

    By Raja Ashraf A country’s healthcare system is judged not only by the number of hospitals it has but also by whether people can access timely, affordable, and quality medical care. In Pakistan, public confidence in the health sector has weakened due to persistent challenges, including shortages of healthcare professionals, rising medicine prices, under-resourced hospitals, and the continued presence of unqualified medical practitioners. These issues require comprehensive and long-term reforms rather than short-term policy responses Healthcare is a fundamental right closely linked to Article 9 of Pakistan’s Constitution, which guarantees the right to life. The Supreme Court has interpreted this provision to include access to essential healthcare services. Pakistan is also a signatory to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which commits the country to progressively ensuring the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health for its citizens. One of the most pressing concerns is the shortage of qualified doctors in rural and underserved regions. Although medical institutions produce thousands of graduates every year, many public health facilities outside major cities continue to face vacant positions. As a result, many communities struggle to obtain even basic healthcare services and are often forced to travel long distances for treatment. The migration of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to foreign countries has further weakened the healthcare system. Better salaries, improved working conditions, career opportunities, and greater security abroad encourage many skilled professionals to leave Pakistan, creating significant gaps in public hospitals and specialized medical services. The pharmaceutical sector also faces increasing challenges. Some multinational pharmaceutical companies have reduced their presence in Pakistan, raising concerns about future medicine availability and investor confidence. While local pharmaceutical manufacturers continue to meet much of the country’s demand, policymakers must create a stable regulatory and economic environment that supports both domestic production and responsible international investment. The rising cost of medicines has become another major burden for families already affected by inflation. Patients suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases often require lifelong treatment, making affordability a growing concern. At the same time, the continued circulation of counterfeit and substandard medicines highlights weaknesses in regulation and quality control, despite improvements in oversight by regulatory authorities. Public hospitals also frequently experience shortages of essential medicines and emergency supplies, forcing patients to purchase drugs from private pharmacies. This increases treatment costs and can delay critical medical care during emergencies. Ensuring uninterrupted medicine supplies in government hospitals should remain a national priority. Another persistent issue is the presence of unqualified medical practitioners, commonly known as quacks, particularly in areas where licensed healthcare providers are scarce. Tackling this problem requires stronger enforcement of existing laws alongside improved access to qualified medical professionals. Pakistan’s healthcare challenges extend beyond these issues to include inadequate public health funding, ageing hospital infrastructure, weak primary healthcare services, limited mental health facilities, and uneven implementation of health policies across provinces. Addressing these problems requires a comprehensive national strategy focused on increasing healthcare investment, improving working conditions for medical professionals, strengthening medicine regulation, modernizing pharmaceutical oversight, expanding preventive care, and reinforcing primary healthcare services. Investing in healthcare is not merely a public expense—it is an investment in human capital, economic growth, and national development. Pakistan possesses skilled healthcare professionals, reputable medical institutions, and a capable pharmaceutical industry. With sound policymaking, stronger governance, and sustained investment, these strengths can be transformed into a healthcare system that guarantees every citizen safe, affordable, and quality healthcare. The need for reform is no longer in question; the real challenge is ensuring that action is not delayed any further.

    Iqbal’s philosophy shapes modern freedom movements

    ByJustpaste.in

    Ghulami Mein Na Kaam Ati Hain Shamsheerain Na Tadbeerain Jo Ho Zauq-E-Yaqeen Paida To Kat Jati Hain Zanjeerain (In slavery, neither swords nor plans are effective but when the taste for conviction is forged, the chains are shattered.) In these timeless couplets, Allama Muhammad Iqbal captivated a fundamental truth about human liberation. It’s that the physical force (shamsheerain) and strategic maneuvering (tadbeerain) are utterly powerless if a nation or an individual is trapped in a mindset of subjugation. True emancipation does not start on the battlefield or at a diplomatic negotiation table. It begins within the human psyche through Zauq-e-Yaqeen. An unshakeable conviction, profound self-belief, and faith in a higher purpose accordingly.  When one examines the contemporary global events, Iqbal’s words understand modern struggles for sovereignty, social justice, and systemic reform. In the modern world, servitude rarely presents itself through colonial rule or physical iron chains. Instead, modern subjugation often manifests as economic dependency, cultural imperialism, digital surveillance, and ideological defeatism. Entire populations often find themselves caught in systems that dictate their economic choices. They systems that diminish their local heritage, and undermine their self-reliance. Iqbal’s verse applies to this contemporary reality. The verse reveals why so many political reform efforts or heavily funded technological solutions fail to bring real change. When a society suffers from an internal sense of inferiority, no amount of advancement or external assistance can bring genuine autonomy. Strategy and weapons are just instruments. They remain inert without the driving force of genuine conviction. Psychological emancipation must precede material victory. Until a community believes it is worthy and capable of self-determination, external freedom remains an illusion. What does it mean to cultivate Zauq-e-Yaqeen (the taste of deep certainty) in today’s complex world? It represents a transition from passive endurance to active self-realization (Khudi). Historically and in present times, the most profound societal revolutions did not succeed purely because they had superior resources. They succeeded because a critical mass of people developed an unshakeable belief in the justice of their cause. Modern historical struggles show that authoritarian regimes with military apparatuses often crumble when faced with non-violent movements engined by absolute moral certainty. In an era of informational dominance, Zauq-e-Yaqeen requires reclaiming intellectual sovereignty. It demands rejecting narrative manipulation and trusting one’s collective identity and ethical values. Developing nations breaking free from debt cycles and foreign leverage do so by encouraging local innovation, education, and confidence in their human capital. Iqbal’s poetry is not a eulogy for the past. It is an urgent command for the present. The chains of the modern era: political suppression, economic exploitation, or personal despair, cannot be let go of by adopting foreign systems or waiting for political saviors. Real liberation requires an internal awakening. When a society cultivates faith in its intrinsic worth, its moral foundation, and its capacity to shape its destiny, the structural barriers that once seemed insurmountable inevitably begin to shatter. Strategic plans and practical tools then become effective because they are finally guided by an invincible spirit.

That is why 71 year old Terry Burrows is still considered one of the best professional window cleaners in the world. Speaking to a British newspaper Burrows said that many people half his age cannot do what he does.  He explained that professional window cleaning is a skill that requires proper training not just hard work. Burrows who still competes in the Window Cleaning World Cup is often called the “Usain Bolt of window cleaning.” In 2009 he set a world record by cleaning three 45×45 inch windows in just 9.14 seconds.  His record remains unbeaten. Under competition rules every contestant uses the same equipment including a 12-inch squeegee a 14-inch T-bar an applicator cover a bucket of water window cleaning detergent and a scrim cloth. Competitors must clean all three windows as quickly and perfectly as possible. During the event three judges watch closely as contestants use a special S-shaped squeegee technique. They then wipe away any remaining marks with a scrim cloth before shouting “Stop” which ends their time. Even after 17 years no professional window cleaner has managed to break Terry Burrows remarkable world record.
