As the year 2024 comes to an end, it has been a year of mixed fortunes for many. For the underprivileged in Sukkur, however, the year brought numerous challenges.
Speaking to a lock-and-key maker in Sukkur, he described the year as difficult. "This year wasn't good for us," he said, adding that the rising costs of electricity, gas, and basic necessities made life harder for daily wage earners.
He urged the government to consider the plight of the common people and hoped that the new year would bring better opportunities and relief for the working class.
As the clock ticks toward 2025, the wishes of Sukkur’s struggling community remain centered on hope for a better tomorrow.
