It is very unfortunate that social evils in our country have developed into institution. now we find a great many social evils surrounding us like  diseased trees that no one dares to cut down.The carriers of social evils are human beings who are like disease carries with little hope of recovery let us describe some of the most common social evils in our society.

bribery:

FIRSTLY, bribery and corruption are found in quick growth and speedy development in important government departments ,offices law courts ,police stations, and all those places , where public problems are supposed to be solved .Bribery favouritism,and nepotism( favour shown on relations) are common like cheating and fraud ..These have put a shop to true progress,equality,development,and hope for a better future.for example,the public offers bribers to official working in the taxation and excise departments for a quick disposal of their cases.

                       The public is fed up with the ways in which public servants get bribes in ordinary matters like the issue of new electricity connections and approval of building plans for houses.

              Bribery is a way of life with our public and many government functionaries (person with official duties).This critical  and serious situation has caused the world agencies like the UN rank Pakistan as one of the most corrupt countries.

         SECONDLY,hoarding and black-marketing are the twin evils that cause abnormal rise in prices and suffering of the people.in order to become rich quickly big traders hoard huge quantities of articles or commodities of daily use like grains ,onions,and potatoes and other necessities of life like medicines in short supply to sell them later at higher prices.

             THIRDLY,smuggling   is a serious social evil that is extremely harmful to the country's economy. when foreign goods and   smuggled into the country on a large scale ,the local industry,business and agriculture suffer.other countries usually dump their goods  or sell them at lower prices to capture foreign markets.

           

                                                     In the fourth place,adulteration is a serious social evil as well as a crime as good items milk,honey spices, pulses,rice,wheat and many other food items and mixed with cheap and harmful commodities  .

                    We need to have equality,justice and opportunities for progress available to all the people. If we cannot provide these,we cannot hope to have a society free of social evils.
