The organ trafficking is on the rise not only in Pakistan but also in the whole world. Lot of stories of brokers,physicians, an hospitals were locked who were involved in illegal organ trafficking. The profitable organizations providing these illegal services exploit the poor in under developing countries. Despite efforts to boost organ donation and resolutions to control transplant tourism, their implementation has been compromised. In Pakistan, according to the Sindhi Institute of Urology, approximately 2000 kidney transplants were performed only in 2005, of which up to two-thirds were estimated to have been performed on foreigners.

A new law in Pakistan is proposed to protecting the poor peoples, who can be fooled to sell their organs for money. The approval of the organ transplant law by National Assembly was the result of a long struggle. The ball is in the court of government. It is their duty to check the illegal trade of organs. Lawmaking without implementation is purposeless. Carelessness by the health and other offices has led to a revival in organ trade after a pause in recent months. The government should try to low down the poverty that drives poors to donate their organs. Foreigners who come for illegal organ transplants should be tracked and traced.

118 operations of organ transplants were underwent in Taiwan, China and 69 transplants reported that these transplants were eased by doctors. There have also been allegations that some embassy officials of Middle Eastern countries have involved in overseas kidney transplants in Pakistan and the Philippines.

Illegal human organ trafficking cannot take place without official secret approval. But the finger of blame must be pointed at the physicians who carry out such practices to fill their pockets without any regard for the welfare of humanity. The health ministry and the law-enforcing agencies for resurgence of organ trade in Pakistan are strongly criticized. Recently thousands of poors have sold their kidneys, and this illegal practice is openly being carried out at hospitals in the large cities.  Many people who had sold their kidneys identified the surgeons who had carried out the transplantations as well as the hospitals where such surgeries were performed.

Electricity load shedding is a biggest problem for Pakistanis since many years. Each time the Minister of Water and Power claims that the load shedding problem would be resolved by the end of the year but each time it becomes double than before. The only solution left with us every year is Saturday off, shops will close on 8 pm sharp and the clock timings will change by one hour. In such situations it would be foolishness to compare ourselves with developed nations because these countries are so far in the race of progress than us.

It is already 12 hour load shedding in May and 7000 mega watt short fall is claimed then how people will survive in the severe hot days of June, July and august and on the other hand the prices of electricity also going to increase. The industries of Pakistan are badly affecting with this issue but DG PEPCO denied this fact on some TV talk show. Yes we can deny the things unless we suffer them. The Pakistani people have realized that the problem would not resolve but now only thing they want is a proper schedule from power supply authorities. There should be fix timings and a time table of load shedding so that people may plan their tasks according to that schedule.

In the chilling days of winter, we wait for summer but when it comes we only suffer. Children wait for summer holidays but they cannot enjoy this period. Working people wait for Sunday but all day they wait for Monday to be back on work rather to sit home without electricity. So I would end writing here with a new hope that may we get out of this problem soon.
