Children Playing in the Poisoned Water
Our social responsibility compels us to look at the difficulties and hazards faced by the local population and give them their birth right of fresh air and clean water to drink.
This whole scenario has not been created suddenly. Rather, it has been in development since last 30 years. Now that it has taken its ugly shape, we should intervene to take those people out of misery, who live in the shadow of huge profits earned by the millionaires.
Pak Arab fertilizer factory should be moved to an unpopulated place and this plant should be shut down forever.
UN and government teams must join hands to initiate projects to clean air and water in that huge region.
Sometimes among all those claims of big environmental organizations and NGOs, these issues remain unseen and hidden.
These people need help. Save them from slow poisoning.
You are responsible to spread the word and serve the cause.
