Land misuse
It is time for us to focus our attention on some important issues like the diminishing of our agricultural land and its continued exploitation for non-agricultural purposes. We must collectively raise our voice against this misuse of land. We must focus on production of commodities than rely on just imports. We have to make some long term and short term action plans in this regard. Political freedom without economic freedom is of little importance. Our crafts and arts are dying. Carpet industry has virtually collapsed. The fruit industry is not in a good state. Let’s look into these issues as well.
