Dear Editor,
The rising population in our country is responsible for our poor standard of living. It is the cause of many other problems too, including depleting resources, water levels and forests, overcrowding, shortage of housing and employment. Spiraling fuel prices, accidents, power shortage and poor governance are also the result of the growing numbers of people. Aristotle has rightly said that a large increase in population would bring “certain poverty on the citizenry and poverty is the cause of sedition and evil.”
