Unemployment is the biggest source of destruction, resulting in desperate crimes and leading a nation towards ruin
TURBAT: Turbat is reckoned as the second largest city of Balochistan, and it has a large population, but approximately 60 per cent of its citizens are unemployed. Although they have done their graduation, they still haven’t secured jobs and consider themselves a burden on their families. That is the reason more kidnappings of children, robberies and murders have become a perfect profession for the unemployed residents of the city. They are ready to kill a person at the rate of Rs500.
Unemployment is the biggest source of destruction for a country, resulting in desperate crimes and leading a nation towards ruin. Only a month ago, an only son and brother was murdered by two unknown people.
Among other depraved human practices, deforestation is also spreading fast. Citizens are lacerating trees in large numbers for money, endangering rainfall. It has not rained in Turbat for two years. I appeal to the Government of Balochistan to provide more jobs to Turbat residents.
