to the Kalabagh Dam As the election days are approaching Kalabagh dam issue is taking centre stage. No doubt, Pakistan is facing water scarcity problems for so many years but using Kalabagh dam, as the only tool for water scarcity is increasing more to the vulnerability of people.

Mian Somroo, Jamshoro Helping Small Business The domination of big business is a reality all too familiar to the 30,000 small businesses nationwide that make up the Main Street Alliance. With monopolies growing ever larger, small businesses are being squeezed by both anticompetitive practices and an increasingly unequal economy. None of this is natural.

We need a Main Street economy that instead of draining resources from small businesses and communities levels the playing field. That means fair taxation to fund a healthy workforce and thriving communities.

Pakistan fought the three wars against India for the Kashmir issue, but the result was Zero.
