NATURAL CALAMITIES

NEWS HEADLINES DETAILS Endangered: ‘Climate GILGIT: We have all heard of climate change impacting topographies and ecosystems, especially change threatening in mountainous regions. However, languages and cultures in particular areas have not been spared by the effects of this phenomenon. A study conducted by Zafar Shakir of Karakoram languages’ International University (KIU) reveals Shina language is a casualty of climate change. Belonging to The Express Tribune, October 17, the Dardic tribe, the origin of the language dates back to the arrival of Aryans into Shinaki area 2015 (areas along the Hindukush and Karakoram) circa 1,500 to 2,000 BCE. Words from other languages have encroached into particular regions of the Shinaki area, thereby categorising it within the threatened languages. “Human displacements and migrations tend to affect languages and cultures,” writes Shakir. He says this happened to Shina in Gilgit-Baltistan as well. A lecturer at the Department of Modern Languages at KIU, Shakir carried out a study in September with 20 Shina-speaking participants displaced by floods over the past year. “Of those I interviewed, there were equal number of farmers, servicemen and women, students, and businessmen,” explained the lecturer. The study period lasted nearly two hours and 3,223 words were uttered by the target group. The use of non-Shina words were reported at 33% by the end of the study. According to Shakir, “There is a direct and indirect impact of climate change on our material culture, which includes our clothing, agricultural norms and housing.” The lecturer added, “However, there is also a direct and indirect impact of climate change on our non-material culture, which revolves around languages.” The KIU faculty member said the impact of climate change on the target group forced them to code switching (switching from one language to the next in one conversation), inter- as well as intra-sentential switching, and blending and borrowing of words from other languages. The KIU faculty member said the impact of climate change on the target group forced them to code switching (switching from one language to the next in one conversation), inter- as well as intra-sentential switching, and blending and borrowing of words from other languages. He says climate change has become an additional indirect threat in influencing endangered languages and material cultures with displacements and migrations. Climate change fans global US Secretary of State John Kerry warned Saturday that climate change was a threat to global security crisis, says Kerry security and has inflamed volatile situations from Europe’s migration crisis to the Syrian conflict. Pakistan Today, October 17, 2015 “Climate change is perhaps the most significant threat to global food security today. Make no mistake: the implications here extend well beyond hunger,” he said just weeks before a key world climate conference in Paris.“This isn’t only about food security; it’s about global security, period,” he said during a speech at Milan’s 2015 Expo.Kerry said it was “not a coincidence that, immediately prior to the civil war in Syria, the country experienced the worst drought on record”, sparking the migration of some 1.5 million people “that intensified the political unrest that was beginning to brew”.“I’m not suggesting the crisis in Syria was caused by climate change, obviously, it wasn’t. It was caused by a brutal dictator who barrel bombed, starved, tortured, and gassed his own people.“But the devastating drought clearly made a bad situation a whole lot worse,” he said.He described climate change as “threat multiplier”.“Even if it doesn’t ignite conflict, it has the ability to fan the flames and to make situations much more complicated for political leaders to deal with.”Kerry cited the mass migration to Europe as an example of a crisis provoked partly by climate change — which he warned will get significantly worse if large parts of the world become uninhabitable due to global warming.“Here in Europe, you’re in the middle of one of the worst refugee crises in decades.“Unless the world meets the urgency of this moment, the horrific refugee situation we’re facing today will pale in comparison to the mass migrations that intense droughts, sea-level rise, and other impacts of climate change are likely to bring about,” he said. More Rain predicted over Met Office predicted that a westerly wave is likely to approach upper parts of the country on upper parts of the country Sunday that will produce rain-thunderstorm at scattered places in KP (Malakand, Hazara, Peshawar, Kohat, Mardan, Bannu and D.I.Khan divisions), Islamabad, Upper Punjab (Rawalpindi, on Sunday/ Monday Sargodha, Gujranwala, Faisalabad and Lahore divisions), FATA, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir on PMD, October 16, 2015 Sunday & Monday.

International day for The term disaster risk reduction is generally used for the broad development and application of disaster risk reduction policies, strategies and practices to minimise vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout society. Earlier disaster risk management was often used in same context which is systematic approach to The Nation, October 13, 2015 identifying assessing and reducing risks of all kinds. Since 1970 the disaster related thinking and practices have been seen wider and deeper to understand the reasons of occurring disasters with reference to integrated holistic approach to reduce the impact of disaster on society. World over countries were taking measures in accordance with Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015, which ended in March last and has been replaced with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015- 2030). he Sendai document has been developed after three years of consultation process with United Nation members’ states, non-governmental organizations and concerned stakeholders to have improved version of the existing Hyogo Framework with sets of common standards, achievable targets and a legally based documents for disaster risk reduction. The member states also focused on the disaster risk reduction and climate change adaption for achieving sustainable development goals. Pakistan is also signatory to the global progress in achieving the goal of the Sendai Framework. ll member countries including Pakistan are agreed upon the set targets which include reducing global disaster mortality by 2030, reducing number of affected people by 2030, reducing direct disaster economic loss, reducing disaster damage to critical infrastructure and disruption of basic services, among them health and educational facilities, including through developing their resilience by 2030; increasing the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020; enhancing international cooperation to developing countries through adequate and sustainable support to complement their national actions for implementation of the framework by 2030; besides that increasing the availability of and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information and assessments to the people by 2030. Keeping in view the agreed targets the progress in all aspects of the disaster risk reduction is possible by solid concrete and organized steps in the field of emergency preparedness with effective monitoring system like emergency service Rescue 1122, as all the calls are monitored in the command and control room, all emergency vehicles are on tracking system and all districts of Punjab are being monitored through Provincial Monitoring Cell (PMC) Lahore. The monitoring system at district and province levels ensures the average response time of 7 to 10 minutes in all emergencies resulting minimising death and disabilities by providing swift response to helpless victims of all emergencies. Emergency preparedness does not stop here, besides having an effective emergency management system at government level, communities should have integrated system with collaboration of the existing emergency services or social welfare departments and non-governmental organizations for disaster risk reduction and organized efforts in this area. he disaster risk reduction requires collective approach, inter- organisational coordination, partnership with all concerned stakeholders and community based disaster risk management. Local communities are the main actors of the disaster response and

disaster risk reduction. It has been observed that disaster-prone communities are enriched with their experiences and elder people along with vulnerable groups. They all can be included in the planning for disaster risk reduction at local level. The disaster preparedness can be improved by capacitating the vulnerable community according to their need and making them able to respond to local problems with their local knowledge and expertise as it is the cost-effective way of disaster risk reduction which improves the likelihood of sustainability through genuine ‘ownership’ of projects by local community. Furthermore all those people who are working for awareness, advocacy, capacity building and disaster resilience at any level deserve appreciation on International Day Related Disaster Risk reduction. I felt proud to know the community views about the disaster response by the research study on Governance and Disaster in Pakistan conducted by Pattan and Asia Foundation Pakistan that says “the response after 2005 earthquake has been improved and Rescue 1122 Emergency Service is doing commendable job in disaster response. All concerned communities and stakeholders should realise their importance and contribute for developing safer communities in Pakistan. May Allah keep our country safe from all disasters and make us a real contributor as civilised citizen of the Pakistan. Global climate panel elects Director-General Ministry of Climate Change, Muhammad Irfan Tariq, has been elected as vice Pakistan as Vice-Chair of chair of Working Group-I of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). “This is a great milestone the country has achieved. Indeed, the election of Irfan Tariq has brought a global IPCC Working Group-I recognition of Pakistan’s efforts in the global fight against climate change and the country’s Pakistan Today,d dd October 12, extreme vulnerability to the negative impacts of global warming,” commented Arif Ahmed Khan, 2015 Secretary Climate Change Ministry.

Lightweight bulletproof KARACHI: Traffic police authorities have sought bulletproof vests with lighter weight for traffic-

vests sought for traffic handling personnel across the city as they believe it is not easy to perform such duties with the existing 9kg jackets. This development is in reaction to the immense threat of armed attacks that police have resulted in the deaths of several traffic police personnel, it emerged on Sunday. Sources Daily Dawn, October 12, 2015 privy to the recent communication between the traffic police and the Sindh police hierarchy said a proposal had been forwarded to the relevant authorities for the import of around 3,000 bulletproof vests made of synthetic material which were much lighter in weight for traffic police personnel. “The bulletproof vests currently used by our policemen carry metal plates on both sides of the jacket,” said an official. “The average weight of such jackets ranges between 8kg. With such a weight it’s not an easy job to stand under the open sky for six to eight hours to control traffic. That’s why a proposal was forwarded to the Sindh IG which is being pursued further,” he added. He said the bulletproof vests made of synthetic material were much lighter and being used in different parts of the country as well. Following the request from police authorities, according to the sources, arrangements were being made to import bulletproof vests with synthetic material through due process. The recent wave of deadly attacks against traffic policemen has claimed the lives of nearly a dozen personnel within a few weeks. Unarmed and without any regular policing training, traffic constables were later given automated rifles, pistols and bulletproof vests by the Sindh police for self-defence. However, the move has not shown to be much effective as attackers are still finding traffic policemen a soft target since they are busy in traffic management at crowded intersections amid hundreds of vehicles. Later, police authorities sought the assistance of paramilitary Rangers to provide security to traffic police personnel in the metropolis following consistent attacks. However, the Rangers, according to officials, have not been able to provide security cover to traffic personnel at all major intersections. “The Rangers soldiers currently are deputed only at sensitive intersections,” said another official. “There are still a number of busy intersections where the traffic officials are without security cover. At such points the traffic officials are taking care of security on their own with a couple of armed colleagues.” Though the recent incident has sent ripples among the Karachi police authorities, traffic policemen have also been randomly targeted in the past; some 49 traffic policemen have been targeted from 1995 to 2015. Around 1,200 traffic policemen work in one shift with an overall force of 3,100 across the city. “Out of 3,100 traffic police officials, 600 have been armed with automated rifles and pistols,” said the official. “These 600 armed personnel perform duties along with their 2,500 colleagues at traffic intersections providing them security cover. Apart from Rangers and armed traffic policemen, some 300 police commandos have also been deputed in different areas for the security of traffic officials.” 588 dead, 1,007 injured in ISLAMABAD: Some 588 people were killed and another 1,007 sustained injuries in 821 incidents 821 acts of terrorism of terrorism in the country during the first eight months of the year.

After reviewing the motions for Leave for Review filed against the hydropower projects determination of the Authority, on April 2, 2015, the authority has came up with a new levelised tariff tariff of 10.88 cents per kilowatt for low head, with the presumed plant factor of 50 percent, with 100 percent foreign debt, while for total local debt the rates has been revised to 12.78 cents per kilowatts. The Nation, October 17, 2015 For high head with full foreign investment the rates will be 10.05 cents per kilowatts while for 100

As increase in plant factor the high head tariff decreases up to 6.28 cents per kilowatts for 80 percent, for foreign dent while 7.393 for local debt. According to the decision the tariff was revised on stakeholders request. After Nepra decision in April this year, various stakeholders submitted review petitions and after considering their requests the authority came up with this new tariff. In its April decision the authority announced levelised tariff of Rs. 7.449 per kilowatts for low head projects with 100 percent foreign debts, while for local debt the levelised tariff was set at Rs. 9.76 per kilowatts. The petitioners including government of KPK, sought review of the Upfront Tariff Determination on the following grounds that The EPC cost assumed in the Upfront Tariff Determination is too low; A mechanism for indexation of civil works cost (one-time adjustment at COD) on account of variation in prices of major inputs (i.e. Fuel, Steel, Labor and Cement) during the construction period has not been allowed; The assumed Debt financing cost (premium over KIBOR) is low; The assumed Debt-Equity ratio is low; The percentage assumed for Financing fee and charges is low; and the timelines regarding validity of the upfront tariff and maximum time for financial close may be altered; On above, the authority decided to revise the previous onetime adjustment, under which 40pc of the assumed EPC cost will be adjusted over 36 months (maximum) starting from the date of financial close of the project for USD/PKR exchange rate variation, and 60pc of the assumed EPC cost converted at reference USD/PKR exchange rate of 101.95 will be adjusted over 36 months (maximum) starting from the date of financial close of the project. Small hydropower projects are considered a viable source in Pakistan as they do not require building of large dams and do not pose environmental problems of deforestation, submergence or rehabilitation. The upfront tariff was introduced with an objective of simplifying the tariff process, providing certainty to the potential investors, fast-tracking the development of commercially attractive small hydropower sites, allowing material risk coverage to the investor. Finding solutions: KARACHI: Despite lapse of five years after the 18th Amendment decentralised the higher education Speakers discuss commission, there is still a tussle going on between the federal and provincial governments over its functioning, which is one of the reasons that quality of education in the country is not getting better. problems of higher These views were shared by adviser to Sindh CM Sharmila Farooqi on Friday.

Tokyo alone has around 500 universities, which, according to Khuhro, shows that Japan has education among its priorities.

Investors warn of ISLAMABAD: In a not-so-veiled warning, foreign investors are showing reluctance over the solar packing bags as NEPRA power tariff being proposed by the government and have stated that they might consider moving their business elsewhere. The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) announced a tariff of looks to decrease tariff 16.3 cents per unit in January 2014, which was revised down to 14.15 cents after a year. Now, the The Express Tribune, October regulator has conducted a hearing where it was proposed that the tariff be reduced further to 9.25 16, 2015 cents per units from January 2016 onwards. In the wake of this downward revision, investors, who have invested billions in solar energy projects, have warned that the viability of their businesses in Pakistan has gone down. Foreign and local investors have also turned down the four-month cutoff time for the 100MW Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park to reach the specified amount of power generation, urging the regulator to extend the limit to a year. While also urging the government to raise the tariff, investors have warned moving to other countries where solar power generation seemed more viable. During the public hearing held by the regulator, Qui Changbin, vice-president Zonergy China, said the revised tariff needs to be implemented at least one year after the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park has been made operational. The official said that Pakistan’s experience in the realm of solar energy was minimal and it needed to tread carefully. Zonergy China is working on a 900-MW solar project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Qui said the cost of solar power station in Pakistan was 15-30% higher than that in China. “The average electricity price is 14.15 cents which is still below the lowest feed-in tariff level of China,” he said, adding that Pakistan also faces problems of unstable security, slow economic development and deficient infrastructure. He said that all countries, even with stable and healthy development of solar energy, experience a gradual phase of high to lower tariff. “In the initial stage, investors are attracted to promote industrial development through high electricity tariffs. But with the gradual development of matched industrial environment and further development of solar energy, the price is reduced,” he said, citing China, Germany and Japan as examples. 'One Belt One Road BEIJING - Former federal minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Vice President Sherry represents connectivity, Rehman has said that “One Belt One Road” initiative is a huge project and there is a national consensus in Pakistan for forging ahead with such a powerful vision that represents connectivity, infrastructure and trade' infrastructure, trade and energy. In an interview with the People’s Daily newspaper, she said that in Daily Pakistan, October 16, 2015 Pakistan everybody was very excited about the “One Belt One Road,” the centrepiece of the initiative for all in the region. Sherry is in Beijing to attend the Asian Political Parties Special Conference. “We hope that we can really take the next millennium facing front with Asia rising and China power in this important dream for all of us,” she said. In fact, as all-weather friends, the bilateral cooperation between Pakistan and China has great advancement in recent year. Pakistan handed the management of the Gwadar port over to a Chinese company in early 2013, which provides the linkage to the Arabian Sea and cooperates with China in Thar coal project, a two billion dollar joint venture in 2015, which is a long-term investment in the region. It is also a transformational move, and a big gain for Asia. Pakistan is the gateway to Central Asia and Far East and connects Afghanistan and other countries. The One Belt One Road initiative is about connecting the landmass of Asia to huge part of Europe. "It’s a big Eurasian project that really matters," she said. “We look it as a mutual win-win initiative between Pakistan and China,” she said. The former minister stressed that there was a huge public consensus in Pakistan on doing business with all Chinese including both the governments and private companies. This allows the government to move forward to build consensus, connect the nodes and coordinate various resources to materialise hundreds of projects that link the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a component of One Belt One Road. People in Pakistan know very well that the project has the potential to transform the future of Pakistan and the region. They do know that all the sectors are working together to boost this project. There is already a broad consensus to embrace the new Chinese vision and dream," she said. In addition to the One Belt One Road initiative, there are also many mechanisms of cooperation in Asia, such as China- India-Bangladesh-Myanmar Economic Corridor. Sherry also expressed her observations on these mechanisms: “Inevitably these routes will overlap and connect at some point. We don’t see overlapping relationships as a zero sum game or one relationship excludes the other. The ability to do business in overlapping layers is going to be the next century dynamic.” Form energy ministry, LAHORE: Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahid Khan Abbasi said the abolish power, suggestion to abolish the Planning Commission did not meant for removing Ahsan Iqbal from the office. Expressing his views in Geo News programme ‘Capital Talk on Wednesday, he said the era of petroleum ministries: centralised planning, in his opinion, was over, while many affairs had been delegated to the Abbasi provinces. He had no differences with Ahsan, Abbasi added. The ministries should plan the future course of action themselves as the time had come to close down the Planning Commission, he said, The News, October 16, 2015 suggesting formation of a new ministry of energy while abolishing the petroleum as well as the water and power ministries. Abbasi said ending the GIDC (Gas Infrastructure Development Cess) was not possible, adding that the supply system would be improved and new gas brought into the system with its help. According to the minister, the government is ready to solve the issues with the textile industry. The raise in gas tariff - which had not been increased during the last three years - is much

less than the rate of inflation. After the 18th Amendment, gas is a provincial subject. There is a severe gas shortage in Punjab where they would be able to supply it only to the domestic consumers during the next three to four months. Stating that the LNG would be cheaper than all types of fuels, Abbasi said the Ogra had fixed the LNG price at $8.6 per MMBTU and all the cost would borne by the consumers. He said an amount of Rs100 billion would be saved through LNG-based power generation, adding that the basic purpose of importing LNG was to run gas-based power units and fertilizer plants as well as supplying CNG. The minister mentioned the gas theft amounting to Rs10 billion in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but said the provincial government had expressed its inability to stop the practice. Abbasi said high quality petrol and diesel were not being imported to Pakistan, which had negative effect on car engines and environment; however, it didn’t affect the bikes of less than 100 cc power. Receiving Rs2 billion as bribe daily from the PSO was impossible, he noted. Senate Standing Committee on Textile Industry Chairman Mohsin Aziz said presently, using furnace oil for power generation was cheaper than the gas, as he called for slashing the GIDC and gas charges. He stressed that there was a need to abolish many other institutions, not the Planning Commission. According to Mohsin, the government has increased the gas price by 23 per cent along with 22 per cent GIDC. Thus, it is difficult for the industry to bear the 44 per cent increase in production cost. He said the government had raised the gas tariff for smaller provinces excessively and was also levying terminal charges in the LNG price. The hike in gas price was for ending the difference between the LNG and gas prices, he added. The president of APTMA Punjab chapter, Amir Fayyaz Sheikh, described the textile industry strike as an unfortunate event for the country and stressed the need for supplying gas to the textile units. According to Sheikh, they have been raising the issues being faced by them with the government for the last two-and-half months but no solution could be found even after a meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. They have given an eight-point agenda to the government; however, they are told that there would be no gas supply for the next three to four months. Sheikh said the Indian yarn and clothes were being dumped in Pakistan, adding that there was 5 per cent duty on the Indian yarn in Pakistan but it was 28 per cent for the Pakistani product in India. He revealed that India had spent $66 billion on the textile industry during the last seven years, but the amount for Pakistan during the same period was mere $3.5 billion. All government schools The government has decided to turn all government schools in the federal area (rural area) into to get model school model educational institutions.In the first phase, as many as 20 government schools will be turned into model schools. As part of the makeover, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will inaugurate a model status school in the constituency of MNA Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry on his return from the US. According to Pakistan Today, October 16, the source, Maryam Nawaz is also looking into the entire process of conversion of schools. In line 2015 with the vision of the premier, education standard in government schools will be brought at par with private educational institutions to persuade parents to send their children into government schools.

Spurious medicines, ISLAMABAD: Public health is being compromised for over quite some time due to rise in food food adulteration — a adulteration and sale of fake and spurious medicines in the market. The profiteers are often misusing the opportunity for meeting the ever-increasing demands of edibles and medicines by violating the real threat to public food and drug related laws about public health safety. The declining standards of sale products, health commodities, edibles, and adulteration in food, unhygienic condition and availability of fake and spurious medicines in the market has left the customers with no choice but to pay for sources of Daily Times, October 15, 2015 complicated diseases. The business community is focusing more on minting money than maintaining the prescribed standards of their products. A resident of Sector G7, Shahid Khan said the unhygienic conditions and poor standards of food are hazardous for human body, causing an increase in food poisoning cases. Most of the workers in the restaurants, mills and industries (related to edibles) do not care about cleanliness, resulting in infecting food either with their hands or tools. Strange and novel techniques are used in food adulteration and sale of products for persuading the costumers to buy the products. Shahid Khan said food adulteration and spurious medicines had exposed the people to a number of new and complicated diseases. This also makes the consumers deprived of their very basic rights of getting access to clean and standard food, good quality of medicines and other sale products, he added. A medical practitioner, Dr Nasir Shah, said food poisoning refers to a wide variety of diseases, which are usually caused by eating contaminated food. He said the two main contributing factors for food poisoning are poor handling of food and its unhygienic preparation. Muhammad Kashif, a resident of Sector I10, who is in the capital for studies and lives in a bachelor hostel said, “I avoid eating food in the market and hotels and cook it by myself to keep away from food poisoning and other food-borne diseases.” Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination Public Relation Officer Sajid Shah said, “Dealing with the issue of spurious and fake medicines has become a provincial subject after the passage of 18th amendment.” He, however, said on complaints, the respective company or factory of the medicines is raided and its registration and manufacturing of the product is checked. Sajid Shah said the quality, composition and sample of the medicine are examined in relevant laboratories, adding if the company is found guilty, it is sealed. Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Food Commissioner Raja Muhammad Ashraf said food adulteration is a recurring phenomenon that needs round the clock monitoring. The capital has been divided into six territories for monitoring of food outlets and restaurants, he added. Raja Ashraf said, “Kitchen, utensils, washing system, food preparation, freezers and expiry date food items are checked before sending the samples to laboratories for detail analysis. The workers’ cleanliness- nails, glows, caps, and dresses are also closely monitored.” The Islamabad Food commissioner said a milkman was fined Rs 25,000 in Karachi Company after making analysis that the milk was containing more water. He urged public not to buy the products which are missing manufacturing and expiry dates, adding some companies write extended expiry dates on their product which is utter violation of the law. He said, “First Information Report (FIR) was lodged in Karachi Company Police Station against the company of ‘Continental Bread’ and ‘Punjab Cash and Carry’ for writing extended dates than its shelf life on the products which cannot be validated. Textile industry KARACHI/LAHORE: Textile millers on Wednesday closed their factories across the country to observes Black Day protest an increase in the cost of doing business and also warned that they could extend the campaign ‘indefinitely’ if demands are not met. The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (Aptma) The News, October 15, 2015 said the entire basic textile sector remained closed from 9 am to 5 pm, resulting in losses worth Rs1.80 billion for the industry and a jobless day for 300,000 daily wagers. “It was a countrywide strike and all spinning, weaving and processing mills shut down their production,” said Amir Fayyaz, chairman of Aptma Punjab. “If our just demands are not met within a week we would close our industries indefinitely.” Textile millers were protesting an increase in the power tariff and charges of gas infrastructure development cess (GIDC) and claimed that both the charges added up Rs170 billion in the cost of doing business every year. They said electricity was being provided to them at 15 cents per unit as compared to the neighbouring and competing countries, which provided the utility at the rate of 8 to 9 cents/unit. In August this year, Pakistan’s textile exports remained at $1.83 billion against $1.9 billion August last year. Pakistan’s textile exports have fallen despite of Pakistan received GSP Plus from the European Union. India, on the other hand received an investment of $66 billion in the sector as it provided 10 percent subsidy to the industry. Textile industry provided jobs to 15 million people while 30 percent spinning industry worth Rs3,467 million (0.2 million to 0.25 million spindles) were closed because of an increase in the cost of doing business. On a question, Yasin Siddik, ex-chairman Aptma said prime minister had given time last month and listened to them but the problems were not resolved only within the given time. He had given five days for announcement of exports package,

which was still due. Siddik said they were ready to compete with individual businessman of any country, but not the businessman having full support of his country, as they (Pakistani businessmen) were left alone in the competition. They said the government had increased gas prices for the captive and general industry in addition to levy of GIDC at Rs200 for captive power plants. Due to the levy of GIDC and increase in gas tariff by 23 percent, cost of gas for industry increased to $6.7 per million metric British thermal unit (mmBtu) for industry and $7.7 per mmBtu for captive power plant as compared to India $4.2, Bangladesh $3.1 and Vietnam $4.2 per mmBtu. Aptma chairman Tariq Saud said in order to save its industry Turkey had imposed 28 to 35 percent duty on Pakistani yarn while Pakistan imported 16,000 tonnes of yarn from India last year at five percent duty only. Meanwhile, Aptma leaders in Lahore were also joined by the office bearers of Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry that asked the government to accept the just demands of the industry. They along with Aptma leadership burnt Indian yarn and fabric. The textile industry experts alleged that Indian textiles were being dumped in Pakistan at under invoiced rates. Moreover, they added that Indian textiles were being allowed in Pakistan at marginal duty, while Pakistani textiles were subjected to every import duty. They demanded of the government to slap similar duties on Indian yarn and fabric that was levied on similar Pakistani products in India. Media teams were taken in groups to different mills where workers sitting outside the mills raised slogans against the government. Industry experts estimated that the nine-hour closure of the basic textile sector resulted in production losses worth Rs1.80 billion. Around 300,000 daily wage workers’ that the industry employs were deprived of one day’s earning. Millers warned that if the industries were forced to go on an indefinite strike 500,000 direct jobs would be lost and 1.5 million indirect jobs would be at stake. District Education District Education Authorities have been established in 36 Districts of Punjab for control of Govt and Authorities Established civilian institutions and improve the education standard. In this connection a notification has been issued which states that DEO of every District would be the Chairman and EDO would be the in Punjab to improve Secretary of Education Authority. It was decided a few days earlier after a preliminary survey by the education standards Government that each and every branch of private educational institutions will be registered separately of every chain of educational institutions if they are functioning in different campuses or Pakistan Today, October 15, buildings. In addition it is said that the member of Education Authority would be from Private 2015 Education institutions and NGOs . Later on local bodies members will also be involved. The Teacher Unions have taken an exception of the development and claimed that the purpose of this authority is to deliver the Education department to Private sector in different phases. Education Authority will also be given special powers to enroll and transfer Teachers and deal with issues like Pay adjustments, pension, merger of schools, suspension of extra teachers and Private schools registration Man dies of dengue KARACHI: Bilal Ahmed, 36, a resident of Surjani Town, succumbed to dengue hemorrhagic fever at fever Civil Hospital on Tuesday, said Dr Masood Solangi, In-charge Dengue Prevention Control Cell for Sindh.During the current year, he said 2258 cases of dengue fever were registered in the province Daily Times, October 14, 2015 including 2203 in Karachi only and 55 from other districts. The ailment, he said is largely self-limiting with high rate of recovery, however, it may turn into hemorrhagic fever if timely and often simple interventions are not resorted. Meanwhile provincial health department sources have also confirmed a fresh case of Naegleria in the metropolis with Naeem, 22, resident of Baldia Town, being the latest victim. Fourteen patients inflicted with Naegleria were confirmed to have died of the water contaminated by amoeba, damaging human brain via nasal route.Hapless citizens have to reap the bitter fruits of poor governance, murder of merit through political appointments, commission and bribery culture and sheer mismanagement in almost every sector but the crucial healthcare sector has been particularly more neglected, as this year so far Karachi has to mourn three deaths due to dengue viral fever alone. The fifth victim was 36-year-old Bilal Ahmed, son of Saeed Ahmed, a resident of Surjani Town of Karachi who died in Civil Hospital Karachi during treatment. At least 2258 dengue fever cases have been reported from Sindh since January 1, of them 2203 detected from Karachi alone. Two decades back dengue was an unknown disease in Karachi. Its cases surfaced sharply in this city when it faced a sudden ecological change in 2003 when hundreds of thousands of fully-grown eucalyptus trees were hacked and replaced by Conocarpus trees. Though there is no scientific research so far in Pakistan on the link of African plant Conocarpus and the dengue viral fever, but some botanists and environmental activists had showed serious concern that this sudden ecological change would not augur well for the mega city. Even if the conspiracy theory of ecological change is ignored, the health department, Karachi Municipal Corporation and other related departments have not taken adequate steps to check the onslaught of dengue in Karachi. The statistics would show that the dengue cases are being reported year after year in Karachi, making it an unbearable burden for the government as well as society. Saving a few fumigation rounds and ‘awareness’ campaign there is no concrete steps seen to seriously check the causes of dengue, including poor garbage collection, leaking lines of water and sewerage and lack of affordable diagnostic facilities for citizens. Special wards and research centers, modern laboratories, specialized training of doctors, nurses and paramedics to deal with the dengue cases are still a distant dream for Karachiites. Dengue viral fever is not a Karachi or Pakistan specific healthcare problems but several other countries are also facing dengue cases, but we read only success stories in these countries. Even, a third world country like Sri Lanka has better management to control dengue as compared with Pakistan. Karachi is the only port city of Pakistan and economic lifeline of this nation. Diseases like dengue should be taken as a grave warning signal not only for the healthcare of Karachiites but also for the economy of Pakistan. The government needs to wake from its traditional deep slumber and at least replicate the successful anti-dengue models and mechanisms of other countries, especially Asian nation, if it lack resources for original research on this disease, its treatment and control. Three-day anti-polio LAHORE: Punjab will launch anti-polio campaign in Lahore, Chakwal, Attock, Mianwali, Jehlum, drive in Punjab starts Khushab, and Rawalpindi from today (Wednesday). The decision came after lab confirmation of the case and the visit of team of experts led by Punjab Expanded Programme on Immunisation Director

©2015 www.alhasan.com IDP IDP IDP CRISIS RESPONSE BULLETIN 22 today Dr Munir Ahmed to Lehr Sultan Pura Union Council in Choa Saidan Shah, Chakwal. The team included experts from World Health Organisation (WHO), UNICEF and Gates Foundation. Children Daily Times, October 14, 2015 will be vaccinated in all areas of Chakwal, Attock and Mianwali districts and in selected high-risk union councils of Rawalpindi, Lahore, Jehlum and Khushab. In Chakwal alone, the campaign will target around 188, 640 children. The migratory population of the area having any possible links with the genetic link will be specifically targeted. The victim Farhan, age 71 months, an under nourished child in Kotli Saydian village in Chakwal, received more than 10 dozes of immunisation with the result that the disease could not paralyse him. Though it was documented as Punjab’s first polio case in current year, the child is reported to be normal despite the confirmation of virus, a rare phenomena in polio history. Punjab Health Director General Dr Zahid Pervaiz said that the virus is present in the environment and poses an imminent danger to other children with weak immunity. Dr Zahid said even though the coverage of the union council was found to be above 90 percent, the presence of virus calls for a comprehensive and immediate case response. “Directions have been issued to ensure extra efforts in Chakwal and adjacent areas. The campaign in Lahore and Rawalpindi was part of the already-planned SNID. The areas adjacent to circulation area have been included as well,” he said. The director general said, “Our teams have found that the area is host to sizeable migrant population from Sawat, Mardan, Qila Abdullah in Balochistan and polio reservoir areas in the country. Whereas the movement of the population from these areas is a continuous challenge, the incident calls for a strong case response and vigilance related to movement of visiting population.” This is Punjab’s first polio case in the year and highlights the challenges that the country faces in polio eradication. Out of a total of 306 cases in 2014, Punjab accounted for just four cases. In the current year, Pakistan has had 38 cases so far with this being Punjab’s first case, although this has not resulted in paralysis, as is the case normally with most polio cases. Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only countries battling polio now with Nigeria being able to exclude its name from the list only last month.

Opp walks out of Senate ISLAMABAD: The combined opposition in the Upper House of parliament on Tuesday staged a over ‘change in CPEC walkout over the government’s response to alleged changes in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor route (CPEC) and Mina stampede. The opposition accused the federal government of route’, Mina stampede changing the original route of the CPEC and not allocating funds for the route according to the Daily Times, October 14, 2015 decision agreed in All Parties Conference on May 28 this year. The opposition leaders accused government of not implementing the decision of APC in letter and spirit. The opposition parties then staged a walkout from the House after Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal failed to satisfy them. Ahsan Iqbal said the CPEC route agreed in All Parties Conference is being implemented in letter and spirit. He was winding up discussion in Senate on an adjournment motion moved by Taj Haider and others regarding conclusion of Senate Special Committee on China- Pakistan Economic Corridor that consensus developed in All Parties Conference on 28th May this year on the route of the CPEC is being violated by the concerned government departments. The minister said there is absolutely no change in the route of the corridor. The planning minister said doubts about the implementation of project are due to unawareness. He said the CPEC is not the name of a road or a route. It is a comprehensive concept and framework of development. He said under the CPEC the work is going on in four departments including development of Gwadar port, energy projects, infrastructure development and industrial development. He said Gwadar-Quetta road will be completed by December next. He said joint parliamentary committee and the Senate committee on CPEC are visiting the route of corridor next month. Ahsan Iqbal said out of forty six billion dollars Chinese investment, thirty eight billion dollars will be invested on energy projects. While giving policy statement on deadly stampede that hit Hajj pilgrimage last month, Federal Religious Affairs Minister Sardar Yousuf said that as many as 99 Pakistani pilgrims have been martyred and 18 others are still missing in Mina. Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani said neither the government not the religious affairs ministry did anything to find whereabouts of the missing Pakistani pilgrims. He said as to why Pakistan was helpless when countries like India and Iran managed to bring back bodies of their citizens. Apparently unsatisfied with the statement of the minister, the opposition lawmakers staged a walkout in protest against the government. “Do you think we should forget those 18 Hajis,” Rabbani said in response to the minister. Over 1000 pilgrims from different countries are said to have been martyred in the stampede that occurred in Mina during final rituals of Haj. Saudi authorities ordered a probe into the tragedy, pledging that findings would be made public. Assad Mujtaba Gilani, nephew of former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani was also among the Pakistani pilgrims who were martyred in the stampede, the worst tragedy to hit Hajj. However, the Gilani family somehow managed to bring back dead boy of the deceased. The former prime minister after burying his nephew urged the government to take up the issue of missing Pakistanis with Saudi government. The Senate also passed the State Bank of Pakistan (Amendment) Bill 2015 unanimously aimed at bringing the existing legislation in conformity with the international best practices of a modern central bank. Minister of Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif moved the bill on behalf of Minister for Finance and Revenue Ishaq Dar in the House.
