Children’s day goes unnoticed in Chitral
CHITRAL Pakistan : The annual world ‘Children’s day’ passed away without any activity in Chitral. Though nothing practical is done on other such type of days, but at least superfluous meetings and seminars have been held by NGOs on such occasions in the past , this time even that was not done. Poor children get a rough deal in Chitral working in hotels, Mechanic shops and as house workers etc, and there have been of and on complaints of them being mistreated. No Government or NGO has ever done anything to lessen their plight. So many so called Non government Organizations working for benefits of Child rights also remained silent on Universal Children Day. Some 23 Million children in Pakistan are suffering from child labor most of them belongs to poor and rural areas. It is question mark for government as well as NGO working and gaining fund on the name of child labor that million of children are still sleeping without dinner in Pakistan.
