I request the government to put political interests aside and provide people their right
SIALKOT: The importance of entertainment in our lives cannot be overlooked. It is human nature that we seek different ways to relax ourselves. The most thrilling way all over the world to take a break from our boring lives is by visiting amusement parks. They appeal to all age groups and not only locals but tourists, too. In Pakistan, the number of amusement parks can be counted on the fingers of one hand available for approximately 182.1 million people. The unavailability of recreational spots forces us to stay at home, scrolling down the screens of our favorite gadgets that we become obsessed with. I request the government to put political interests aside and provide people their right to have secure recreational spots — mainly, amusement parks for the sake of promoting healthy activities, engagement of inactive parents and family participation in our society, where the youth today prefers to stay isolated.
