CSPs in a cobweb

Civil service officers are selected through the competitive examination held annually. Interestingly enough, the officers selected are bestowed with sober responsibilities and are listed to hold the highest offices of the country to run the machinery at a smoother pace. No doubt, Pakistan always needs such young men and women, with qualities of both head and heart, in holding the offices. To select only such balanced individuals is indeed the sole purpose of the civil services examination.

More importantly, before the individuals are selected as civil service officers, they make a lot of promises to their people to purely work for the benefit and welfare of the country. But sadly enough, as soon as they are appointed to be CSPs, they at once fall in a cobweb even losing their worth in knowing the people around them.

Ironically, they forget that the real worth lies in knowing the humanity and working for them. Hope these CSPs will realise their prime duties after they are appointed.
