The latest episode of Da Semay Jaaj (Regional Review) focused on various important issues of the region.
Nine callers shared the issues of their areas and were concerned with the unavailability of their respective Member of National Assembly (MNA). A social activist, Shakeel Waheed Ullah, said that the public still needs to be sensitized about the idea of accountability of the elected representatives.
A report from Charsadda by Aisha Tehseen shared the details of an open forum organized by the district administration. The forum was specifically arranged for women, including female representatives from minorities of the area. The participants were of the view that the representatives of the district administration have to be consistent in arranging such open forums in remote areas so that the issues of females are timely reported and addressed.
Gull Hussain from Momand Agency reported that the political parties were concerned with the delay in the issuance of National Identity Cards to the women of the area. This is because the recent directives of the election commission of Pakistan tell that the elections will be nullified if the women votes are less than 10%. The local residents suggested that mobile vans by The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) can help out in speeding up the process.
The fourth report was from Kohat by Tahir Rasheed. It addressed the issues faced by the residents and the local body representatives.
Five text messages were received during the show.
