He is also concerned about the state of affairs in the constituency of his residence in Karachi. The law and order system is far from satisfactory. The city is ridden with water shortage problems and regular load shedding. The roads and the transport systems are in shambles. The sewerage and garbage disposal system needs major improvements. Dr Laghari has voiced these concern in the Senate floor and in the Senate Standing Committees.

Dr. Laghari is an academic at heart. He is concerned about the state of education, both in schools and universities, in Pakistan.

Energy and Power:

Pakistan faces a tremendous challenge in overcoming its power and energy shortage. The consumption of electricity is generally regarded as an index of economic prosperity.  The present per capita electricity consumption in Pakistan is about one tenth of world average. The current state of affairs in the energy sector is highly unsatisfactory. Pakistan needs additionally at least 8000 MWs by 2010 to meet the energy requirements of the people. Dr Laghari through his active participation in the PPP Policy Planning Committee, PPP Manifesto Committee and the Senate Standing Committee on Power and Water is making efforts to ensure that the Energy Crisis in Pakistan is resolved and the country is on its way to rapid industrialization through availability of abundance cheap and reliable electric power.
