Sir: Almost all the cellular companies in Pakistan are offering late night packages quite easy on the pocket. A section in Pakistan had long been crying on bad influence of these, on the society. If the purpose is to provide cheaper calls to the customer, then why only late night? These packages have had a lot more to do in degeneration of the youth. Because of packages the usage of cell phone is increasing day-by-day damaging health. Radiation from cell phones is causing skin damage, brain damage, blood pressure, sperm abnormalities etc.

Moreover, Pakistani youth is suffering from sleep disorder; how could they study with utmost concentration? Staying up at the night and fight through long working days will definitely affect your health, education and professional life. PTA had restricted all cellular operators to stop all kind of packages but later on this ban has been uplifted. Besides causing social and health related issues, it has become one of the major sources of road accidents.

Also, parents should keep eye on their children’s activities that how they are progressing academically and how they are spending time. Nowadays, youth is mature enough to understand things but the elders help them set the priorities in their life.
