Trade Fair
Every year we look forward to the Trade Fair and it is a most popular event in the city. However, the authorities have failed to come up with a good venue for a fair of such a big proportion. The walkways are uneven and unsafe. It is hard to find one's way around the fair. Prominent arrows need to be placed in several areas around the venue. Better still, a covered venue needs to be constructed for the benefit of both the shops and the visitors.

| Talks with the Taliban |
In the matter of reintegrating Taliban fighters into Afghan society, the question is no longer whether to talk or not. President Hamid Karzai has already invited the Taliban to a peace jirga and UN representatives reportedly met members of the Quetta shura in Dubai to discuss the possibility of direct talks.
