Potato Crisis

January 7, 2026 by Sajid Salamat

Pakistan’s potato farmers are facing a crisis that exposes a familiar and deeply avoidable failure in agricultural policy. A bumper harvest, ordinarily a cause for celebration, has instead triggered a market collapse so severe that many growers are unable to recover even basic production costs. In Punjab’s potato belt, farmgate prices have fallen to as […]

The Crisis We Still Whisper About

December 23, 2025 by Leila Khan

December 23, 2025 by Sajid Salamat

Pakistan debates inflation, unemployment, failing schools, and collapsing hospitals almost every day.

Mental Health Crisis

November 2, 2025 by Sajid Salamat

When a senior Islamabad police officer reportedly took his own life last month, shock and sorrow rippled across the country. What followed, however, was revealing: instead of compassion, a state TV journalist branded him “a coward and a fool.” The backlash laid bare a truth Pakistan avoids: that we still treat mental illness as weakness […]

Water Crisis

October 4, 2025 by Sajid Salamat

At a recent briefing with the World Bank, Sindh’s Chief Minister laid bare a devastating truth: more than 90 per cent of rural households in his province rely on unsafe wells.
