Controlling popullation

Author: Daily Times

Sir: In a recent report, Pakistan is now sixth in world most populated country. The United Nations is projected Pakistan’s population in 2050, it will move to fifth place with 292 million people.

I think that time has come to have restriction on more births. Due to increasing population, urban and rural living space is shrinking, agriculture sector is reducing and trees are going to vanish. In a recent report, a country must have 25 percent of trees with the ratio of population. Our government should start birth control awareness campaign immediately.
