NA-75 Daska- education, health and employment are the main issues of the voters
Voters concerned about high inflation and rising unemployment in the area
NA-75 Daska
is the national assembly constituency in District Sialkot which consists of the
Daska tehsil and some villages of Tehsil Pasrur. Majority of population lives
in rural areas of the constituency. The voters
complain that this constituency lacks basic facilities like education, health,
clean drinking water, sanitation system and good quality of roads and
transport.
The three
main issues of the constituency are education, health and employment. In some areas, clean drinking water and
drainage are major issues. Even though,
the literacy rate in Daska city is 90% which is quite high. But the area lacks
the higher education facilities.
Many areas
of the constituency lack education facilities and specially secondary and
higher education. The constituency needs more colleges for girls and boys. The
area also lacks the presence of vocational training centres to develop skilled
human resource.
Even clean
drinking water is not widely accessible. The drainage system is so poor that when
it rains even a little bit, the entire city turns into a dam. The urban and
rural areas, both, are severely in need of attention.
The ruling
party always has advantage to get votes on the promises to provide different
facilities and initiating development work. PTI has the same advantage in tomorrow’s
bypolls in this constituency. Even though, PML-N candidates won the last three
general elections in this constituency. Murtaza Amin won in 2008; Syed Iftikhar
ul Hassan won it in 2013 and 2018 on PML-N ticket.
PML-N government
in Punjab from 2008 to 2018 did some development work in the constituency. But
it was not enough to satisfy the demands of the area people. PML-N government
also upgraded the Civil Hospital in Daska.
