Lack of common sense
Sir: It could happen only in
Pakistan, where 99 percent of the people are less intelligent than orangutans.
First, about 75 girls fell sick after being sprayed with anti-dengue
insecticide in Attock. This should have been enough warning to other fumigators
to be careful. But no, just two days later, 120 girls of Jhelum got sprayed and
were admitted to a hospital. Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has suspended
the Jehlum district coordination officer (DCO), health and education executive
district officer (EDO) and tehsil municipal officer (TMO). But more needs to be
done to determine who was responsible. Who gave the contract for spraying the
insecticide to someone who was obviously not qualified for the work? Did the
contractor have the backing of some powerful person in Islamabad? Why was the
insecticide sprayed when the girls were present in the rooms? How much did the
contractor pay to the concerned officials before he was appointed to do the job?
