Thar is a worst example that how the politicians play dirty games for their own interest, spend billion of money for their publicity, rallies but they don't care about the voters. They don't have any sympathy with common poor peoples. peoples are dying from thirst and famine and leaders are enjoying in their palaces. Thar need serious attention from provincial and federal governments, they need basic requirement of life like food and water.
