Social Values
It is sad that a female child of any age is not safe nor an old woman is safe, as the rogues have been wandering desperately around them. Though the government amended relative laws to heighten the punishment, the crime is on. In this regard, the radio and television stations and madrasas have role to play.
The speakers with reference to the Quran and the shall deliver sermons in order to make the criminals aware that, whoso commits crime shall be punished after death without doubt. As for example, murder has no scope to be remitted from punishment. Punishment to the murderers, rapists, snatchers of properties, whoso commits sodomy, and tortures wives and other women, orphans, poor and have-nots is inevitable.
Every man and woman must know it. They should be apprised. If this is done, the wrong doers will think twice before committing crime.

Smoking Should
Be Banned
With the exception of certain places, the Tobacco Control Act provides the provision of ‘designated smoking zones’ in public places and transports with multiple compartments. That is the reason why smoking is widely observed in various public places and public transport. As a result, it is not possible to protect the populace, especially the women and children, from the harms of secondhand smoke.
Smoking should be completely banned from all types of spaces those are not enclosed by walls including restaurants, hotels, public places, workplaces and mechanical transports with multiple compartments as well as all non-mechanical public transport.
