Minister for Railways (Haji Ghulam Ahmad Bilour): (a) The main reasons of losses of Pakistan Railways are as under :— 1. Less availability of locomotives due to deferred maintenance of old fleet on account of paucity of funds which has badly affected passenger and freight train operations, the main source of earning for Pakistan Railways. 2. Pakistan Railways is a public service entity and does not operate purely on commercial lines. It has to keep operative some un- remunerative and un-economical routes in larger public interest. 3. Increase in salaries of Government employees, and relief provided to pensioners has added to the financial burden. 4. Increase in fuel, gas and electricity costs, have also contributed to rising deficit. 2 5. Damages to Railways assets worth Rs. 6.73 billion due to floods of 2010/2011 is another contributory reason causing losses. 6. Deficient investment in rolling stock, which would have enhanced the capacity to reduce the deficit. (b) Following steps are being taken by the Government to control the said losses:— 1. To overcome the present crises, Pakistan Railway is procuring upto 275 new locomotives and repairing old ones through various sources. 2. Railway has involved private sector to participate in different activities of P.R. i.e. rehabilitation of ageing locomotives, development of Dry Ports and commercial management of passenger trains etc. 3. Through Track Access Regime, private sector has been invited to operate freight trains on Pakistan Railways infrastructure on payment of track access charges to PR. The idle capacity available with PR will be utilized and additional revenue for PR will also be generated. 4. Doubling of track between Karachi and Lahore will be completed by December 2013, providing additional capacity to run more trains. 5. Installation of modern signalling system is in progress, which will facilitate in smooth train operations. 16. *Mr. Sajid Ahmed: Will the Minister for Commerce be pleased to state: (a) the names of government departments which monitor to explore new trade markets; (b) the performance shown by those departments during the year 2011-12 till date; and (c) the names of countries with whom Pakistani exports have reduced during the last five years alongwith the reasons thereof?

Minister for Commerce (Makhdoom Muhammad Amin Fahim): (a) Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet has actually allowed sugar mills to export 1.2 million MT from January 2012. State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has been mandated to monitor the export of sugar.

(b) In January, 2012 while lifting sugar, USC raised objection on the quality of Indian origin sugar Renuka Brand, 700 MT. USC refused to take delivery of the sugar in question on the plea of excessive moisture content. In order to resolve the issue, TCP decided to approach USC with analytical report of this sugar verifying its suitability and fitness for human consumption through a Lab Report. TCP sent the sample to Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) Laboratories for examining the suitability- and fitness for human consumption and the report received on 18-07-2012 (Annex-A) revealed that the sugar is fit for human Consumption and also within standard limit of Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) for moisture.

YEAR BOOK 2015-16 www.narcon.gov.pk 1 Government of Pakistan Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control Narcotics Control Division (Coordination Wing) *** EDITORIAL BOARD Mr. Ata Hussain Shah Hashmi Deputy Secretary Mr. Feroze Khan Section Officer Mr. Sajid Hussain Assistant Accounts Officer 2 MESSAGE FROM THE FEDERAL MINISTER FOR INTERIOR & NARCOTICS CONTROL Narcotics trafficking and drug abuse is a challenge faced by Pakistan since eighties. Not only narcotics and illegal drugs are trafficked through Pakistan to other countries, but a sizeable quantity of these substances are consumed among the local population. This has created a two fold challenge. Firstly, narcotics trafficking is earning a bad name for the country, secondly, the local consumption of these substances is causing a great harm to the social fabric of our society. The most vulnerable segments of population are youth, street children and student community at large. The Government of Pakistan has been aware of this challenge and has taken many steps to stem the tide of this menace. The very creation of Ministry of Narcotics Control in the year 1989 is an evidence of our resolve to put in place effective policy and operational mechanisms to check the drug trafficking and abuse in the country. Since the assumption of office by the present Government the Narcotics Control Division (NCD) is actively engaged in many areas relating to narcotics control, drugs supply reduction, demand reduction, and rehabilitation of addicts. We have also accelerated our contact with other international development partners – both at multi-lateral and bi-lateral levels.
