Construction Of Flyovers: A Late But Good Move
[Note: This Short Article was Originally Published at Pro Pakistan. ]
Nowadays in Hyderabad the construction of flyovers is on the rise, currently four are under construction and one was completed last year which is now widely used by the people of Hyderabad. It’s a late but good move, because the traffic of Hyderabad is increasing day by day and traffic jams are now becoming a common happening in Hyderabad.
I have personally noticed two things which in my view should not happen. The first thing is that the government should complete one flyover first and then start the construction for the next flyover. There are two roads from Hyderabad main city which are going to Qasimabad and on both roads the construction of flyovers is in progress, due to which people have to face a lot of problem and most of the times people like me cancel their works which are to be done in Qasimabad just to ignore the pollution and traffic jam present at the sites of construction. Government must have completed one before starting second just to give the people a reciprocal route to carry on their works. I am not saying that the route is not available, route is available but it’s much polluted because of construction going on and it is broken from sides and some where from middle also, which troubles us a lot. The second thing is that the workers of political parties both national and regional have chalked the newly constructed flyovers, which is really a bad thing, because it not only ruins the charm and glory of our city but it leaves a feeling that we have got second hand or used flyovers.
I request the government to think on the idea of leaving a reciprocal route which must not be polluted or broken and I also request the educated workers of various parties that not to chalk the walls and flyovers as it hurts the beauty of our beloved city Hyderabad.

STOP EXECUTIONS
Amnesty International is running a campaign to end the executions, means they want a complete ban on death penalties, or we can say that they want the life time imprisonment, to be the top punishment in the law. Amnesty international says that the death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights, this cruel killing of human beings by the state in the name of justice, should be banned completely.
Eighty eight percent of all known executions [2007] took place in five countries: China, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the USA. In 2007 more than 3000 were sentenced to death in 51 countries. Since 1977 more than two third of the countries in the world have abolished the death penalty in law or practice. Total number of countries who have abolished the death penalty is 137 and total number of retentionist countries is 60. Uzbekistan and Argentina are the only two countries who abolished in 2008. Pakistan is among the countries who is still sentencing death penalties, and Pakistan was on the 3rd number in 2007 in Executions.
Being common soft hearted persons, we want all the murderers to be hanged till death, but while thinking with broad mind, a question arises that, whether the person who has got death penalty was really a criminal or was an innocent? We are humans, and making mistake is in our nature, so it is possible that we can surely make mistake in judgment, and that mistake could end a life of an innocent. So to favor human rights we should support this campaign and should force our government to bring Pakistan in the list of those countries that have recently banned executions.
