The article discusses the challenges faced by journalists in Karachi, Pakistan, a city plagued by urban issues such as flooding, lack of clean water, and political violence. Despite these difficulties and the lack of public information, Karachi remains a rich source for investigative reporting. Journalists like Mahim Maher of Aaj English and Oonib Azam of The News International share their experiences and tips for reporting in such an environment. They emphasize the importance of using alternative sources like maps, data, NGOs, and court records to uncover stories about municipal issues. The article also highlights the need for journalists to establish facts, develop a beat, and find innovative ways to tell stories. Additional resources for investigative reporting in Pakistan are provided, including contributions from GIJN’s Urdu Editor Amel Ghani and researcher/journalist Ayaz Khan.

Ayaz Khan covers a range of topics in his articles. He discusses the significant decline in mango production in Pakistan, attributing a 60 percent drop to unspecified causes. In sports, he highlights the progress of women's football in Lyari, where Baloch women are overcoming social barriers to play the game. The technology piece focuses on the impact of a four-day internet blackout on workers, particularly delivery riders, who depend on online apps for their livelihood. Lastly, he touches on the effects of climate change on Pakistan's coastal fishing community, noting how their traditional methods and folklore are fading.

Ayaz Khan, substituting as a biology teacher, reflects on the lack of knowledge among science students in Pakistan regarding human origin and the role of climate change in the development of organisms. He suggests that including a dedicated chapter on human origin in biology textbooks could greatly benefit students' understanding of these concepts. Khan recommends 'The Earth Transformed, An Untold History' by Peter Frankopan as a valuable resource for curriculum developers. He also comments on the state of creative education in Pakistan, which he believes is in decline.

Pakistani politicians have seemingly neglected the diaspora of Pakistani immigrants, failing to connect with them and address their concerns. The diaspora, now more exposed to democratic values and rule of law, is disillusioned with the political situation in Pakistan. Political parties have resorted to vilifying the diaspora rather than engaging with them constructively. The author argues that this approach is counterproductive and that political parties must recognize the importance of the diaspora, especially as they are likely to gain voting rights in the future.

The article discusses the pervasive nature of controversy in Pakistan, highlighting that significant events or outcomes are frequently accompanied by allegations of foul play. It points out that general elections are often followed by claims of rigging, sports matches, particularly cricket, are suspected of match-fixing, and even academic examination results are not spared from skepticism. The author suggests that this tendency to doubt the legitimacy of various processes is an unfortunate aspect of Pakistani society.

In 2020, Zaheer Zarf planned a literature festival in Hub, Balochistan, but postponed it due to COVID-19. In 2021, the Lasbela Literature Festival (LLF) was scheduled for April 4 but was canceled four days prior due to government pressure and the imposition of Section 144. Religious and political controversies also surrounded the event, with Moulana Yaqoob Sasoli initially objecting to the content and participants. Political dynamics between local dynasties were suggested as a factor in the cancellation. Khalil Roonjha lamented the missed opportunity for educational enrichment in Lasbela, a district that rarely hosts literary events.

The article by Ayaz Khan discusses the environmental and water scarcity issues caused by the establishment of cement factories near the Katasraj Temples in Chakwal and in Balochistan's industrial zone. The sacred pond at the Katasraj Temples has dried up due to water being siphoned off by nearby factories. In Balochistan, the construction of Pakistan's largest cement plant by Dera Ghazi Khan Cement (DG) is expected to exacerbate water scarcity and environmental degradation. Despite the economic benefits of industrialization, the article highlights the human and environmental costs, such as toxic emissions and health hazards. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Balochistan's role in addressing these issues is questioned, as is the effectiveness of environmental regulations and impact assessments. The article also touches on the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and its related industrial projects, including a coal-fired power plant.
