Chitral Needs a Citizens Committee
I would like to facilitate the formation of a Citizens Committee
to act as a voice for our people to tackle and solve a multiple
of common issues that are piling up at the door step of each one
of us. If we continue to do nothing about them it can disturb
our peace and bring further misery to our population, especially
those that are most vulnerable.
No system has been put in place after the dissolution of the
local system government system . There is a vacuum. There is a
void. To make matters worse our elected representatives at all
levels have become extremely in accessible to us. There is an
all-round deterioration in all public utilities and there is no
where that the public can go to voice their grievances.
What I am hoping to put together is a group of
non-political people representing different walks of life
(preferably from different tehsils) residing in Chitral town who
are willing to give their time and energy for our beloved
Chitral and its wonderful people. I foresee that such a
committee will be essential in the days ahead when, because of
the country-wide destruction caused by floods, there will be
plenty of reason for public departments not to perform. There
will also be an overall slowdown in the national economy and
isolated places in poorer provinces are going to feel the pinch
most.
People from around the world who have enjoyed
being in Chitral, and have grown fond of us are offering us
help. Many of them are personal friends of mine who I have known
since many years. I would prefer that
the citizens committee I am proposing will become a good conduit
to channel such help to the people who need it most.
Please write and send me your name if you are
interested to become one such volunteer. Once I have received
the names, and had them sorted out, I am going to call a
conference of all the political parties of
Chitral to endorse the final selection to form our citizens
committee. I will then get it endorsed by the DCO and finally by
the Provincial government to give it some legal and official
status. If you are interested please write and give me the
following information about yourself:
