THE MOST INTERESTING POINT

                        The most interesting fact is there that there is no late journalist in Nasarpur journalistic era. All people who worked in past, still they are serving.



STORY OF PRESS CLUB

                   It was 1982 when Press Club of Nasarpur started working, with the struggle of Faqeer Ismail Bhanoon, who was work9ing in “Aftab”newspaper as a composer. He was the first president of Press Club Nasarpur who was elected by other journalists.

                 In the initial period Media was not such powerful. There was a little number of newspapers like some one said that there were come only 80 copies of “Aftab” on daily bases. Means people had less awareness about journalism. In that period “Faqeer Ismail Bhanoon” brought awareness and after him “Kabeer Shad Abbasi”(Jang) and “Gul Daudpota”(Sindh News,Pegham-e-Sindh) worked in journalism.

                    There was a little number of journalists and journalist had great importance like a high profile job. If journalist was giving news for publishing which was about a high class person then that feudal etc used to come to journalist family etc for complain.

                  The “Sajjada Nasheen”of Syed Family “ Sayyed Mureed Ali Sha Rizwi” helped Press Club. In fair of “Misri Shah” when “Director General Information Durr Myhammad Kamal” came at visit, he took special interest in forming Press Club. When “Syyed Mureed Ali Shah” was M.P.A, he gave 10,000Rs: as Fund to the Club. In that period Press Club was holding elections, which was beign helb on “Cots”, due to not having an office for Press Club. “Saleem Gul Abro” was the President of Club and he had personal contact with “Mureed Ali Shah”. “Raees Allah Bakhsh Magsi after that also gave Rs 10,000: as help to Club.

                In the period of Syed Abid Hussain Rizwi who was a chairman, journalists succeed to get an office for Club. “Ashraf Sammoo” as “General Secretary” was used to be in contact with high management. “Muhammad Khan Khadim Ghirano” also helped him for those concerns. “Khadim” has a good profile in the world of journalism and also literature in Nasarpur. He was also “General Secretary” of Club.

                After him, “Sahir Aijaz Abro” remained President of Club seven times. After that “Gul Daudpota” three times served as President. Fayyaz Abro also remained president of Press Club five times. From his family, his cousins “Tariq Abro”and “Farooq Abro” also worked as journalist. In that period “Ahsan Danish”(Ibrat) and “Muhammad Bachal Qureshi”(Hilal Pakistan) played a good role in Nasarpur Journalism. We will share here an interesting thing that “Bachal Qureshi” gave a news to “Hilal Pakistan” and it published a cartoon on that news. That took great popularity in town.

                    Still Press Club held elections. The due date of every year for the election is 31st of  Dedcember. In the recent era Sahir Aijaz Abro, Muhammad Alam Kakepota, Ashraf Sammoo, Kabeer Shad Abbasi, Shakil Siddiqui, Faiz Muhammad Memon, R.B.Memon, and Gul Daudpota are working for the betterment of Nasarpur journalism.



ACHIEMENTS AND STRUGGLE

                     Many journalist/reporters got “Misri Shah” awards and certificates. In initial period of journalism in Nasarpur journalist worked to arise many hot issuses of Nasarpur , even Murder cases in which Feudals and “Dakoo” were the opposing parties.

                     With the help of”Ismail Bhanoo” “Gul Daudpota”after taking permission from “Syed Mureed Ali Shah” Dail “Aftab” could publish Special Edition of “Aftab” on”Misri Shah”. In newspaper”Mahran” “Khadim Ghirano” written periodical piece named “Goongay Ja Gufta”. In that he arise many issues of Nasarpur on Sindh level. We shared you above an interesting point that how “Hilal Pakistan” took notice of a news of Nasarpur and even published cartoon on that.

                    Journalists took interest in social issues and worked for t hat also. Here they remained interested in literature also. Well, the social issues which raised with their struggle and the projects which started and completed successful with their contribution, they were:
By_Pass Road of Nasarpur
Digital Telephone
High School Building
Girls College
Ceramic centre of Sindh Small Industries
Wood Working Centre(of Sindh Small Industries)
Hand made Carpet Centre(of Sindh Small Industries)
 Changing of Electricity Wires and Pools
Different Transfarmers foir different Wards (areas)of Nasarpur

                     Mir Zulifqar draw attention of Department of Health on the issue of “Cholera” disease. Abdullah Daudpota raised many issues of town on Sindh Level.
                    
                     Journalists even are not getting their deserved value in the city but still they are working with their spirit, they have no any degree of journalism but they are serving just with the ambition, with curiosity of searching information and bring it for others, with the spirit of finding knowledge and make avail;ble to others.

CONCLUSION
        
              Though the people of Nasarpur are highly influenced fron literature etc, and many magazines on a little level, published here, but still there is a great need to aware people for journalism, journalists, their importance and their role.
