DELAYED RESULT: The failure of the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) to release Special Central Superior Services (CSS) 2023 results is an administrative lapse that is affecting the career prospects and mental wellbeing of a large number of aspirants who had spent significant time and resources preparing for the examination. Moreover, the lack of transparency as well ass communication within the FPSC raises questions about the efficiency and accountability of the institution, especially in an era where timely updates and transparent procedures happen to be the norm.

ELECTRICITY CRISIS: The electricity crisis in Hub has gotten severe. Despite being promised 22 hours of power supply, residents receive only 8-10 hours of electri-city. Unfortunately, they are compelled to endure 14-16 hours of loadshedding every day. Notably, the industrial area enjoys uninterrupted power supply, while the residents of Hub bear the brunt of power shortage. This disparity demands serious attention. It is imperative to ensure equitable access to electricity.

TRANSGENDER VIOLENCE: The transgender community in the country, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), is subjected to violence as well as discrimination. The community does not feel safe and lives with a constant sense of fear. Recently, a transgender woman was shot dead. Will the government ever be able to stop this inhumane treatment of such people? Can we ever create an environment where everyone feels safe?
