Controlling population growth

Letter November 30, 2018
It is also obligatory for citizens to obey the laws imposed by the government

KECH, TURBAT: The recent meeting of Prime Minister Imran Khan with the chief ministers of all four provinces where it was decided to form task forces within the jurisdictions of provinces to control the rapid population growth is a welcome move.

The decision taken at the meeting to reduce population growth rate of 2.4 per cent per annum to 1.5 per cent is commendable.

It is also obligatory for citizens to obey the laws imposed by the government in the population-control drive for the betterment of the country.

The government should limit the number of children per couple.
