IT is commendable that the Sukkur administration has renovated the Mir Masoom Shah Library. It is one of the oldest buildings of our national heritage for Sukkur that was built in the memory of Saint Mir Masoom Shah. It is again noteworthy that the new library is divided into two separate portions for men and women. The new library has brought a new ray of hope for girls as well.

The library lacks furniture that is badly needed. Students face inadequate seating problem, especially on Sundays.

I would like to request the authorities concerned and Pir Mazharul Haq, minister for education, to look into the matter and provide adequate furniture for the library so that the sense of deprivation among students is reduced.
