Jeena hoga, Marna hoga, Dharna hoga, Dharna hoga
Dharna.org`s History Spurred by the amazing victory of the lawyers, politicians and civil society of Pakistan through their decisive and coordinated movement for the restoration of the Chief Justice, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, (sacked on November 03, 2007 by General Pervez Musharraf, the former army chief and President of Pakistan ) and thus the popular demand for the restoration of an independent judiciary magnanimously conceded by the sitting PPP Government on March 15, 2009, www.dharna.org came into being. Dharna (Sit-in) generally refers to fixing one's mind on an object. It refers to whole-heartedly pledging toward an outcome or to inculcating a directed attitude. Dharna is consciously and diligently holding a point of view with the intent of achieving a goal. People were genuinely thrilled by the first taste of their indigenous power. One of the most popular chants on the Long March to....... More

The Freedom and Responsibilities of Media
"The `freedom of communication` is enshrined in the constitution with "rights" to inform the public without jeopardizing the security of the citizens and the integrity of the State and Property. However, freedom of "rights" must be in consonance with its "duties and responsibilities". "Rights" and "Responsibilities" are karmically inseparable. The role as well as the responsibility of the media is to provide authentic information that would be beneficial to all....... More

Know your Human Rights
Courtesy: UN.org On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories." PREAMBLE Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom.......

Who is accountable for the lives that went down the drains?
Courtesy: The News. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) is turning a blind eye to dozens of lidless manholes posing threat to residents that may lead to fatal incident. The CDA, being a rich development body is apathetic to civic issues and spends maximum share of its development budget for the beautification of posh sectors housing the elite class. The authority is unable to expand infrastructure in accordance with expansion of city and population that is why it violates the master plan to find easy solutions to these issues. Different markets including Blue Area, the commercial hub of the capital, markets and residential areas of sectors G-8, G-9, G- 10, I-9 and I-10 are suffering utmost difficulties due to open manholes posing threat to human life. To some extent, the residents are also responsible in this regard, who start using lidless manholes as dustbins blocking sewerage....... More

Consumer Rights in Pakistan
Courtesy: Pro Pakistani The best thing we often find as an good example is the system of the western world, where the consumer rights are equally protected. You may spend decade in these countries and hardly face any fraud, misleading statement/advertising or higher prices. The result is that the consumer is satisfied more then any thing. Their system is based on justice and equality. In countries like Pakistan, we have two way problem, first implementation and then the informed decision of the public. Most of our common user are not aware of thier rights as the consumer, if they find any problem, they don’t know where to go and get their issues resolved. This article will give you a clear direction to move in the future in case of any complaint against any misdeed of the seller on quality, services, prices or misleading....... More

Power shortage in Pakistan
Courtesy: Genex Business Solutions Pakistan is facing serious electricity shortage. After the assassination of Benazir Bhutto (former Pakistani Prime Minister & leader of main opposition party), riots began in different parts of Pakistan, resulting in damage to several power stations throughout the country. Pakistan who was already facing power crises is now having shortage of almost 10 hours a day across Pakistan. In some cities the shortage time is even more than 10 hours. This is surely not a good sign, and very frustrating for everyone. We have arranged power backup systems and trying to stay alive all the time. This situation may result in slow progress to upcoming projects. The Government of Pakistan has promised to fix this situation, however there are no chances for it to be fixed in near future. We urge everyone to stay strong in this difficult....... More

The Ghost Schools of Pakistan
Courtesy:Sarah Stuteville — Special to GlobalPost. Significant funding — much of it US money — goes toward non-existent education provided by non-existent schools. KARACHI — Despite ankle deep garbage, charcoal-scribbled graffiti of machine guns and the scorched remains of squatters’ fires, the dusty green chalkboard still reads “December 2, 2006,” the last day that classes were held in the primary school wing of Mirza Adam Khan, a government-run compound of schools in the poor and violence plagued Karachi neighborhood of Lyari. This is just one of as many as an estimated 30,000 “ghost schools” — nonfunctioning schools that continue to exist only on paper — throughout Pakistan. Recent government reports suggest almost 7,000 such schools exist throughout the southern Pakistani province of Sindh, many of them in the megacity of Karachi. “A ghost school might be a school which is not there, it never.......

The plight of newborn in Pakistan
Courtesy Economic Review provided by Find Articles at BNET. Of every thousand children born in Pakistan, nearly a 100 will not live to see their first birthday. Of these 60 will die within the first month of life, the majority with in the first few days of birth. If one adds the enormous number of stillborn infants and maternal deaths to this list, it exposes the deplorable state of health care delivery in Pakistan. For a country about to join the nuclear club, it is inexcusable to have a startling 2 million perinatal (at the time of the birth) deaths annually. Histrionics aside, this early newborn mortality is a matter of utmost importance for health planners, as all population planning exercises are doomed to failure in the wake of the aforementioned statistics. In a country where children and family offer the only social....... More

Traffic Jams in Karachi: Reasons and Solutions
Courtesy: Chowrangi.Kashif Aziz. Traffic situation in Karachi is getting worse with each passing day. On one hand vehicles are increasing exponentially while roads are getting blocked due to the mega-development drive of the City District Government of Karachi (CDGK). Instead of doing the development work in phases, the CDGK has opened all fronts in one go, leaving Karachi digged up from one end to the other. Reasons for Traffic Jams There are numerous reason for traffic congestion in Karachi, some of these are listed here: Road Construction: The road construction works are in progress on M.A. Jinnah Extension Road, Rashid Minhas Road, Shahrae Jehangir, 5000 Road in North Karachi, 8000 Road in Korangi Manghopir Road etc. The flyover works are ongoing at Time Medico intersection, Hasan Square intersection and Sohrab Goth, Underpasses works are also.......

Demoralized Health-Care in Pakistan
Courtesy: Wikipedia. Pakistan's health indicators, health funding, and health and sanitation infrastructure are generally poor, particularly in rural areas. About 19 percent of the population is malnourished—a higher rate than the 17 percent average for developing countries—and 30 percent of children under age five are malnourished. Leading causes of sickness and death include gastroenteritis, respiratory infections, congenital abnormalities, tuberculosis, malaria, and typhoid fever. The United Nations estimates that in 2003 Pakistan's human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence rate was 0.1 percent among those 15–49, with an estimated 4,900 deaths from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Hepatitis B and C are also rampant with approximately 3 million cases of each in the country at the moment. According to official data, there are 127,859 doctors and 12,804 health facilities in the country to cater for over 170 million people In 2007 there were 85 physicians for....... More

Mr. Ahmad Noorani reports The News June 8th “A Unique Interviews with Babar Awan”, that Dr. Babar Awan all through the interview never replied to his any question and instead asked him to go on speaking and asking questions as he was a good listener. Strange, Mr. Noorani, could not register such a simple message from the haughty minister, ”tum bako hum suntey hein”? Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd) 30, Westridge-1 Rawalpindi 46000 Tel: (051) 546 3344
