Sir: In Pakistan, the sale of expired items is an enormous issue which is affecting the lives of people. According to a recent report, more than 100,000 children have lost their precious lives owing to diseases like, diarrhea, which was caused by consumption of expired items. Moreover, the sale of expired items is destroying many lives in Pakistan where there are some spurious people who are selling expired items. So the government of Pakistan is requested to ban the sale of expired items and arrest the ones who are involved in this dirty business. MUNAJ GUL BALOCH Turbat
