Polls campaign
Sir, How devoid our present day politicians are from the realities obtaining in the country will be evident from their current election campaign. Nationalism, secularism or religion. reminiscence of the golden era when they were in power and even which form of government is more democratic and more suitable for the country, are no issues of vital importance to the commonman. But unfortunately the lead-ers of our main stream political alliances have no other things to offer but to harp on these old tunes like a warped gramophone record days in and days out in their election campaign.
The only issue that is of utmost importance to the common people is that of quick economic development of the country that will bring some comfort to their abject and dismal lives. Our leaders of the major alliances are vague on the subject. To bring about any noticeable changes in the economy in shortest possible time, a thorough shake-up of the present day system Is required which will entail:
a) Dealing all corrupt practices with iron-hand.
b) Establishment of rule of law and total discipline in our political and social life as well as Ln all aspects of economic activities covering the industrial, trading. transportation, communication and public utility sectors.
c) Totally disciplined labour front and en-trepreneurs and businessmen fully aware of their obligations and committed and dedicated to the welfare of the society and not the get-rich-quick syndrome that is seen nowadays in our trade, commerce and manufacturing sectors.
d) Above all. efforts to strengthen the moral fabric of the nation.
But knowing well the sources of the campaign and party fund, base of the parties and background of the leaders, it is doubtful whether our present day leaders have the courage to try to bring about that change.

Drug addiction
Sir. Drug addiction has become a common malaise of our society. This is specially so. about the younger generation i.e. the teenager*.
Among the various types of drug*, the most easily available and to which the youngsters get hooked is the "Heroih". And availability of It is there in our country, secretly brought Ln by the drug traffickers.
The only service it is rendering is that it is eating away al the root of our society.
Unless very stern measures are taken to eradicate this evil. It will eventually do unrepairable damage. Will the authorities please look very seriously into the matter and taken more effective action?
