News Desk

ISLAMABAD: The Senate of Pakistan has unanimously approved a resolution aimed at addressing the country’s alarming rate of population growth, which poses significant challenges to economic development and resource management.

The resolution was passed during a session on Tuesday, where lawmakers emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive policies to manage population dynamics.

Senator Nuzhat Sadiq, who introduced the resolution, stated, “If we do not take immediate action, the consequences for our economy and social fabric will be dire.”

Current estimates suggest that Pakistan’s population is projected to exceed 400 million by 2050, raising concerns over sustainability and quality of life.

This legislative move is seen as a critical step towards ensuring that population growth is managed effectively, with implications for healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.

Experts warn that without intervention, the rapid increase in population could exacerbate existing issues such as poverty and environmental degradation, making it imperative for the government to act swiftly.

In the coming weeks, the Senate plans to convene a special committee to explore actionable strategies and allocate resources for family planning and public awareness campaigns.

The government is expected to collaborate with international organizations to implement best practices in population management.
