Sir: Through the columns of your prestigious newspaper, I want to draw the attention of authorities concerned towards the need of new cities and provision of employment, education and medical facilities in rural areas of Pakistan. Government is ignoring rural areas in all aspects and therefore, the population of these areas is shifting to cities for better facilities. The population in cities is increasing sharply and creating problems like traffic jams and shortage of houses. So it is requested that government should build new cities or provide the facilities of education, employment and medical in rural areas to decrease the migration of population from rural to urban areas of Pakistan.
