IDP IDP 5 IDP CRISIS RESPONSE BULLETIN

School Kohar were damaged in the earthquake of October 26, 2015 and students there need alternate arrangements.A basic health unit, he pointed out, had no drinking water, nor is there any permanent post of a doctor. Most of the girls’ schools have only one teacher, who cannot teach all students. He said the dispensary’s building in Likhala village is in a dilapidated condition where shortage of staff and medicines were routine problems. He also said there was no maternity home in the area. Sajid Saeed and Bushra Waheed, woman councillors from Bagnoter Union Council, said that girls’ high school building, which was damaged in the 2005 earthquake, had not been completed yet and students were studying in the open.Similarly, they said girls and boys have been studying in tents since their separate high schools in Seri area were damaged in the 2005 earthquake. Social welfare: Trophies SHABQADAR: Trophies and certificates of appreciation were awarded to volunteers during awarded to volunteers in separate ceremonies held on Saturday in Mohmand and Bajaur agencies. Mohmand, Bajaur The events were organised by Pakistan Red Crescent and held on the eve of International ExpressTribune,December6, 2015 Volunteer Day (IVD). Designated by the United Nations in 1985, the day aims to increase awareness about efforts made to enhance social welfare.The first event was held in Ghallanai and attended by Mohmand Assistant Political Agent Haseebur Rehman.“As socially responsible citizens, we must engage in volunteer work,” Rehman said. “During the earthquake, volunteers served the affected communities without any discrimination. This shows that our nation is enthusiastic to serve society at large.”He added it is important to encourage students to engage in volunteer work.Speaking on the occasion, Government Higher Secondary School Ghallanai Principal Muhammad Idrees also highlighted the importance of volunteering. “Every one of us should selflessly serve our community,” he added.Separately, a similar function was held at a government school in Gardaí, Bajaur Agency where speakers underlined the importance of social welfare. Shangla District: Post- The government must lift the restriction and facilitate NGOs because destruction is huge and it earthquake scenes cannot be controlled by the government alone Having spent most of the years in Karachi, I had no The Nation,December5, 2015 clue how a massive earthquake feels like before the recent earthquake in October. I was in Murree when earthquake hit Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and other parts of the Asian region. During continued jolts—which lasted for 80 to 90 seconds— I still remember that it was extremely difficult for me to stand on the surface. I witnessed people around me reciting Kalma, screaming, falling down on the surface amidst sound of the shattering glasses, shaking trees etc. It all happened within 90 seconds. After the jolts, our TV channels— once again keeping the tradition of never missing any opportunity—flooded with “breaking news” tickers and successfully created chaos among masses at a situation which needed to be dealt tranquilly.On my way back to Islamabad, I heard that a volunteer-based organization is going with relief to Shangla District. So I went with them to gauge the damage and government’s efforts in managing the situation. Shangla District has captivating sights, green valleys and flowing River Indus covered by huge mountains. Its population is 0.4 million and has four Tehsils. Shangla is considered to be most affected area in this earthquake and Tehsil Chakesir, with a population of 50,000 people, has witnessed most of the destruction. A man wearing German Red Cross jacket apprised that 60 per cent of damage done by earthquake has occurred in Shangla. According to an estimate by Musharraf Shah, a local person who was leading the relief campaign in Tehsil Chakesir, the death toll has reached up to 58 in Shangla District and most of the deaths happened in Chakesir. Shah also added that overall 1,200 houses have completely collapsed in Shangla District, 400 alone in Chakesir. As far as injuries are concerned, it is difficult to count or classify because there were so many people - as I personally witnessed - who had severe or minor injuries. The news of death and destruction can be easily found on various news sources. The purpose of this story is not to discuss only damages but to shed light on government’s response, incompetence and things that are required immediately. When I reached Chakesir, all I saw was a helicopter flying from one mountain to another to oversee the progress and estimate the damage, I guess. I hardly saw any government representative on ground providing relief to victims. There were locals, like the one I mentioned above, who were assisting volunteers from different NGOs and taking them to victims.It would be really unjust to say that the government has not done anything. It has provided water-friendly tents. If it rains, tents would welcome water with open arms. It has also provided food, which was thrown down from a helicopter. I also asked Shah about PM’s visit in Shangla. He laughed and said that during a briefing session to PM on earthquake destruction, his adviser, Ameer Maqam, gave a speech on China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) rather than briefing on victims’ miseries. I also interviewed a local journalist about army’s efforts. He said on a condition of anonymity, “Army is clearing roads—which is also a need—but people need food and shelter.” Moreover, army is also responsible for evacuation and clearing debris. But pictures suggest that army is also unsuccessful in performing its duties. Normally in developing countries where government is weak in providing relief, local or international NGOs play their role to bridge the gap between government and victims in disasters. Because of a few NGOs, our Interior Minister has outlined a new mechanism to curb all NGOs. Consequently, the aforementioned gap is rapidly widening. When we were on our way to Shangla, we received a call from a local and he said, “Do not say you are from an NGO otherwise police would stop and send you back.” And he was true in his prophecy. We were stopped by the police on four different check posts and they specifically asked, “Are you from any NGO?” Of course, we had to lie otherwise they would never have allowed us to enter Shangla. I think Pakistan is among very few countries where you have to lie for a noble cause.Even though Shangla District is part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) but it falls under Provincially Administered Tribal Areas (PATA) where President of Pakistan oversees region’s affairs by directing governor of the province. Reforms in PATA have been under debate but nothing significant has been achieved so far. As a result, the people of Shangla have suffered the

most and are deprived of basic necessities because of centralist mindset—concentration of maximum power at centre level— in our federalism and constitutional ambiguity. According to a local, there is only one hospital in Chakesir which is almost dysfunctional. I went to Syedano Dero (the area of Syeds) which is situated at the top of the mountain in Chakesir. This area has undergone huge devastation. There was only one place, which remained undamaged during the earthquake which was baithak, a place of meeting. Except baithak, almost every home has collapsed. Relief progress is insignificant due to two reasons. First, since it is situated on the top, the only way to reach there is to hike at least for 30 minutes. Second, the road—which connects it to main Chakesir Tehsil—is bumpy and it takes 3 hours to reach there. If the road is well-constructed then it is hardly a 30-minute drive. Putting aside earthquake victims, a local apprised that hundreds of people had already lost their lives in past because of this road. “They die while on their way”, he added. The more interesting fact is that this only road was built by locals themselves in 1940s. A lot can be written on Shangla and its deprivation. But I would suggest these things which need to be done urgently. First, the winter season has arrived and I saw very few people who had warm clothes. A friend from Shangla, Umar Bacha, just informed me that some children have died because of cold. They need warm clothes and jackets. Second, the government has provided them tents, which are not waterproof. Rains and snowfall has already started in Shangla. They need steel sheets that can protect them from water. Third, since there is no hospital on the mountain, a medical camp needs to be installed. Fourth, government must lift the restriction and facilitate NGOs because destruction is huge and it cannot be controlled by the government alone. I also wish to suggest that the government should also make proper roads but I know it would be an unjust demand considering the past records of government’s seriousness. Moreover, a streamlined PATA will ease the burden of many and will boost efficiency. They were really poor and had few things to eat but their hospitality has inspired me. So I have come to a conclusion that poor people are more generous than rich. Now, these poor people require our generosity and help. Will we (government and people) stand with them? Dengue fever Thousands of people in Asia have been struck by dengue fever in recent months. Philippines. The Nation,December5, 2015 Myanmar, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam are among the countries that have been significantly hit by this disease. Even Pakistan and India are in the grip of the worst dengue outbreak.This situation has put medical services under strain all over the world. Hospitals are overwhelmed with thousands of people with symptoms like high fever, vomiting and joint pain. But unfortunately, there is no dedicated treatment for dengue virus. Dengue victims are asked to take rest, drink plenty of fluids and take medication to reduce fever. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicated that 50 million new cases of dengue fever occur each year but even the number could be four times higher due to under reporting. In Myanmar, 36,000 cases of dengue fever were recorded from January to September this year. It was 200 percent more than in the same period last year. This indicates that dengue is one of world’s fastest tropical diseases. There is a dire need for a long-term strategy to be derived at regional/international level to fight the potentially lethal disease. NDMA provides 1,875 Islamabad: In continuation of relief efforts for the affectees of earthquake in October, National tents to earthquake Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has provided a total of 1,875 tents to Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) including 1,409 tents to victims Malakand Division in KPK. The tents provided to Malakand Division were further distributed among The News,December4, 2015 earthquake affected districts as per requirements i.e. 76 tents distributed in District Chitral, 581 in District Shangla, 49 in District Buner, 196 in District Swat, 129 in Lower Dir and 378 in Upper Dir. While a total of 70 tents were also handed over to local Administration of Bajaur in Fata at Saidu Sharif in Malakand Division today.According to official spokes person in addition a total of 396 tents were also handed over to Hazara Division Administration in KPK, by NDMA teams today. The distribution includes 16 tents for District Torghar and 380 tents for District Dassu.On the occasion, Malakand Division Commissioner thanked NDMA for the support and assistance extended for the early recovery of the destroyed schools to facilitate the students in continuing their studies till complete rehabilitation of the school buildings. It is to be noted that the earthquake not only caused damages to houses and other infrastructure but also fully damaged 251 schools in various earthquake hit areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkwa and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). 2 New Polio Cases KARACHI: Despite gigantic efforts made for the eradication of virus of poliomyelitis, two new Emerge In Karachi, One In cases have surfaced in Karachi. With these two cases, the number of polio positive cases in Quetta Karachi has reached 6 while 11 in Sindh. A polio case surfaced in Quetta. Pakobserver.,December4, 2015 The emergence of these two new cases of polio is reported from Baldia Town Union Council No. 1 and 4. This locality is dominated by settlers from Khyber Pakhtoonkhawa and federally administered tribal areas. The previous cases that emerged in the province also belonged to families that had settled in Karachi and other parts of Sindh from other provinces. These localities are also dominated with extremist gangs that not only force people to stay away from volunteers, who visit their areas for administering drops of anti-polio vaccine. In these localities, volunteers were also targeted and killed due to which extra security measures have cost the provincial exchequer a lot while on various occasions, police have also declined to accompany the volunteers for their personal security due to which the anti-polio campaigns were suspended. On the other hand, Sindh health minister Mehtab Hussain Dahar has expressed his deep concerns over increasing number of patients of AIDS and hepatitis in the province and directed the Program Managers of AIDS and Hepatitis Control Programs to expedite immunization process against these fatal diseases.This he said while presiding over a meeting Thursday. Dr Younus Chachar Program Manager AIDS Control and Dr Abdul Khaliq Shaikh Program Manager Hepatitis Control also attended the meeting.He directed them to launch a massive drive against these diseases and

create awareness at grass root level. Unless we do hard work we could not achieve our goal.Program Manager AIDS told the meeting that so far 8, 872 cases of HIV positive and 235 cases of AIDs had been reported officially but it was feared that number of cases might be up to 40 thousands.The Minister urged them to establish Prevention and Care Centres in all districts of the province and in most affected areas at Tehsil level as well to zero tolerance against these diseases. Jam Mehtab Hussain urged the education ministry to include awareness lessons on diseases like AIDS, hepatitis, dengue in curriculum to create awareness among students. Manager Hepatitis Control Programme Dr. Khaliq Shaikh informed the meeting that till October 15, 214, 966 hepatitis diagnosed patients had been registered, out of which 169, 739 were provided treatment while 778, 9445 people were vaccinated against hepatitis.Meanwhile, another polio case surfaced in Quetta on Thursday after which tally has mounted to five. Coordinator Emergency Centre, Dr. Saif-ur-Rehman said a two-year-old child hailing from Eastern Bypass area of Quetta was found affected with polio virus after which number of polio cases detected in the district during the ongoing year has climbed to five. He said that parents of the affected child had refused to vaccinate him during the anti-polio immunization polio held across the district during recent months. Concern showed at delay ABBOTTABAD: Several members of the district council on Thursday criticised what they called in reconstruction of mismanagement and slow work by the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority quake-hit schools in (ERRA) on under-construction schools. Abbottabad Addressing the district forum of Awaz, an awareness and accountability programme sponsored by The News,December4, 2015 the UK Department for International Development, members of Abbottabad district council Tehmina Faheem and Babu Muhammad Khushal claimed that a number of schools in the district could not be reconstructed by ERRA due to financial constraints or other problems even 10 years after the 2005 earthquake.Tehmina, who is also district president of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf women wing, said students had been suffering as the buildings of their schools had been demolished before award of new contracts. Babu Muhammad Khushal pointed out that the building of Government Primary School Zaro Gali was demolished in 2008 by ERRA for reconstruction, but it could not be completed so far, affecting 120 students who have been studying in a local mosque.Similarly, he said the Government Primary School Bagari, Primary School Rata and Primary School Kohar were damaged in the earthquake of October 26, 2015 and students there need alternate arrangements. A basic health unit, he pointed out, had no drinking water, nor is there any permanent post of a doctor. Most of the girls’ schools have only one teacher, who cannot teach all students. He said the dispensary’s building in Likhala village is in a dilapidated condition where shortage of staff and medicines were routine problems. He also said there was no maternity home in the area. Sajid Saeed and Bushra Waheed, woman councillors from Bagnoter Union Council, said that girls’ high school building, which was damaged in the 2005 earthquake, had not been completed yet and students were studying in the open. Similarly, they said girls and boys have been studying in tents since their separate high schools in Seri area were damaged in the 2005 earthquake. Pakistan most vulnerable ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to face disasters like country for disasters of earthquakes and floods due to climate change.United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in Pakistan, Neil Buhne, and the head of the climate change Agha Khan Foundation in Pakistan, Akhtar Iqbal gave these remarks during thier visit to Chitral Dailypakistan ,December4, 2015 district on Friday. Both types of disasters affected Chitral recently, the July flash floods, and the October earthquake that affected many parts of KhyberPakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan.The main purpose of this visit was to understand the effects of floods and the earthquake on the people and development, besides to assess the needs for reconstruction efforts. Neil Buhne said, “Pakistan’s vulnerability to both natural hazards and climate change has the potential to damage and delay development in the country. This visit today highlights the importance of government efforts to provide relief to the vulnerable people, and also the significance of quickly following up with comprehensive reconstruction carried out in collaboration with the local communities, the press release stated.Akhtar Iqbal said, “A stronger humanitarian-development link can help better assess the situation as well as the details for the extent of damages and how the local communities can be made more resilient to future catastrophes.Together with the government and other stakeholders, we can help build stronger capacities to plan for, and respond to disasters. Shared commitment through engagement with key stakeholders can help prevent disaster-related humanitarian crises and protect development gains.” Assistance (FOCUS) Nusrat Nasab. The mission met and interacted with the communities and the local government authority in Chitral. The analysis following this visit will contribute to the overall assessment prepared by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that will be further discussed at a workshop with international development partners on December 10. A proud achievement This refers to the news report, ‘How dengue outbreak was tackled in Swat’ (November 29). It is The News ,December4, 2015 indeed an achievement that Dr Haider, the technical focal person for the campaign, DCO Mahmood Aslam Wazir, the NGOs and female health workers can be proud of. It was indeed wonderful to read that “The use of chemical/fogging was avoided to a great extent and majority of the larva was destroyed through mechanical larvicidal activity as per advice of the doctors”. Minister of National Health Services Regulation and Coordination Saira Afzal Tarrar and KP Health Minister Shahram Tarakai need to take note and ensure that the same methodology is

followed in other vulnerable areas of the country. Disaster management: PESHAWAR: Teachers from seminaries and schools were trained on how to respond to Teachers trained in emergency situations in a two-day workshop held at University Town. The workshop concluded keeping schools safe Wednesday. Exprees Tribune,December4, 2015 Around 27 female teachers from various seminaries and state-run schools attended the workshop. Peace Education and Development (PEAD) Foundation organised the workshop in collaboration with UNICEF under its ongoing Social Cohesion and Resilience (SCR) program.“Most casualties in natural disasters have been reported to occur in schools and seminaries. Therefore, a safety training there is indispensible,” PEAD Program Manager Tariq Hayat said during the session. He said to build an understanding of safety and resilience, spreading awareness and increasing the knowledge of teachers and ulema in the field is vital.“It is imperative for them [teachers] to learn about new methods to create a safe learning and teaching environment,” Tariq said. He added it was the collective responsibility of all institutions to raise awareness among students regarding disaster risk management. “This will help minimise the risks and damage caused in disaster situations.”PEAD coordinators Faisal Jalil and Fauzia Khan said the main aim of the workshop was to equip teachers with knowledge to keep students safe during an emergency, and take appropriate steps to minimise all possible risks and hazards. At the end of the workshop, first aid boxes, fire extinguishers, DRR kits and other relevant equipment was provided to participating institutions. One of the teachers said she appreciated the fact that teachers from both schools and seminaries participated in the workshop. “I also think the government should hold similar workshops so we can learn new ways to keep the school environment safe,” she added. Call for women protection Islamabad: Pakistan is among 11 disaster prone countries and continuous war on terror, poverty in disasters and vulnerability to disasters like earthquakes and floods has hampered the persistent efforts to The Nation,December4, 2015 protect vulnerable population, including women and girls, against these calamities.The health needs of women and adolescents are too often neglected in humanitarian response to natural disasters and conflicts around the world, including Pakistan, says UNFPA report, The State of World Population 2015 on “SHELTER FROM THE STORM”-a transformative agenda for women and girls in a crisis-prone world - launched yesterday.The other countries most at risk of disaster- induced poverty are Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda, says the report. Quoting UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the report says about 5.3 million people displaced within the country mainly from Khyber Agency, Mohamnad Orakzai, Bajaur, South Waziristan Agencies FATA etc. due to complex emergency. And an estimated 39.7 million people affected in Pakistan from 2010 to 2015 starting from devastating flood and natural disasters. The report highlighted that the urban population growth has become increasingly concentrated in developing countries, where 1.2 million people are migrating to cities every week. The urbanisation in Pakistan is also increasingly and this along with population growth affecting the resource planning. “The business-as-usual approach to humanitarian assistance will leave too many behind at a time when needs are so great,” UNFPA Executive Director Dr Osotimehin said. “We need to do a much better job of helping the most vulnerable, especially adolescent girls. But we must also do a much better job of investing in a more stable world, capable of withstanding the storms ahead. For the pregnant woman who is about to deliver, or the adolescent girl who survived sexual violence, life-saving services are as vital as water, food and shelter,” said Dr Osotimehin in the report. “About 100 million people in need of humanitarian assistance around the world today, about 26 million are women and adolescent girls in their childbearing years. Sexual and reproductive health services critical to the health and survival of women and adolescents are scarcest at the time they are needed the most. Three fifths of maternal deaths today occur in countries that are considered fragile because of conflict or disaster. Pregnancy and childbirth related complications kill 507 women every day in these settings,” shared the findings of the report by Sarah Masale, UNFPA Acting Representative. About three fifths of maternal deaths around the world take place in humanitarian and fragile contexts, said Saira Afzal Tarar, Minister of National Health Services, Regulations & Coordination at the launching ceremony. “When crises occur, women and girls are disproportionately affected, and are less likely to be prepared or empowered to cope. While significant progress has been made globally in the past decade to provide services to women and girls in humanitarian situations, there are still gaps in action and in funding,” she said. She said the federal and provincial governments are closely working in collaboration with all stakeholders to explore and strengthen the mechanisms for humanitarian relief operations in the country.,” said the minister. There are present opportunities for a more coordinated approach to be adopted for to address the life-saving needs of vulnerable and affected communities in the instance of any disaster, particularly so given the scarcity of resources,” she said.The State of World Population report calls for better shelter to help women and adolescent girls dying during pregnancies in disasters and conflicts. It also calls to provide them with critical basic services like maternal health and contraception necessary to save women’s lives and enable adolescents to make.

Few factoids about Each year during this season Dengue emerges as a huge problem and engulfs the whole country. Dengue you should know Here are a few factoids regarding the disease, its occurrence and prevention. The News Tribe,December2, 2015 Dengue is a mosquito borne viral disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence of dengue has risen 30 fold in the past 50 years. It is estimated that globally there will be 50-100 million dengue cases annually in the coming decade.Dengue is caused by the bite of an infected mosquito called Aedes egypti, a day biter and fresh water breeder.This mosquito breeds in water collections in ornamental pots in houses, indoor money plant containers, open water storage tanks, overhead tanks, which are not fully covered, ongoing construction sites, broken pots, discarded cups etc. Prevention Personal level: Do not wear short sleeves and shorts during the monsoon. Use mosquito repellent creams or nets at home. Ensure there is no source of mosquito breeding in and around your home or workplace.Community level: Don’t let water stagnate in containers, coolers, tires and broken pots etc. A half broken tender coconut randomly discarded is also a very good breeding ground. When Diagnosed with Dengue Do not take it lightly, follow the doctor’s advice Take medicines only prescribed by a doctor Drink plenty of fluids Take complete rest In case you are vomiting, have dizziness, are sick, get hospitalized. In some cases blood transfusions may be needed. Prevention is the best way to be safe. And if you are infected, relax, and see a doctor. Only less than 1 percent of cases have complications, if proper care is given. Dengue becomes all Dengue fever has become a year-round disease in Karachi with Dengue cases being reported in season disease in the city even when the weather has already turned cold.At least 125 more dengue fever cases have been reported across the Sindh province in a week, out of which 121 were detected from Karachi, 121 more cases Karachi city. surface in a week Pakistantoday,November30, 2015 New cases surfacing in the winter season is a troublesome development for Karachiites and points to negligence of concerned authorities.As per weekly report issued by Dengue Prevention and Control Program Sindh, a total 3,414 dengue fever cases were reported from Sindh since January 1 this year; out of these 3,333 were detected from Karachi city. Ten people have died from dengue fever in the city this year so far.From November 23 to 29, 125 new dengue fever cases emerged across the province, out of which 121 were reported from Karachi, three from Hyderabad and one from Badin.

Torghar areas ignored in “I am worried about the coming harsh winter when heavy snowfall occurs creating severe chill as post-quake relief activities my family is still living in a tent,” said Gul Zamin, a resident of remote and backward Sura Asharay ExpressTribune,November29, 2015 village in Torghar whose house was destroyed in the Oct 26 earthquake this year. Six people were killed in this small village when the powerful earthquake hit parts of the country.Mr Zamin’s family is not alone going through such an ordeal in his village, but 150 other families are also living in similar conditions and seeking compensation to rebuild their houses before the arrival of harsh winter which usually begins in late December or early January every year. He told Dawn that most of the affected families were still living in danger in cracked mud houses as the authorities didn’t consider them eligible for relief and damage compensation. “We are still without any medical facilities as no medical camp has been established so far in our village. One can only reach here on foot after covering a difficult, unfrequented route of eight kilometres,” says Mohammad Imran, a resident of Nusratkhel Kando village, which was badly hit by the earthquake.The tragedy claimed lives of as many as 16 people, most of them children, and left hundreds of houses completely or partially damaged in the district. “If people eligible for compensation are not provided relief they might go for holding demonstrations to raise voice against this injustice and this has started happening in our district,” he said.Though the district administration has established a tent village in Sura Asharay, only those families whose houses were destroyed are being accommodated there. Other affected people whose houses developed serious cracks or were partially damaged in the earthquake are still living in such houses putting their lives in a danger owing to unavailability of tents and resources. “Our village has over 150 mud houses and the residents whose houses were destroyed are provided with 24 tents, but all other families are still living in partially damaged houses,” said Moin Khan who house developed serious cracks as a result of the earthquake.He said that almost all houses in their village were destroyed extensively or partially, but compensation cheques were given only to 38 families, five for complete destruction and 33 for partial damage.“Our village is still being jolted by aftershocks and severe winter is round the corner, but names of 110 families whose houses are damaged partially or are not fit for use have not been included in the compensation list,” said Mr Moin. He said that the government should provide all residents of the village with prefabricated houses and pay them compensation money as early as possible so they could reconstruct their houses to protect themselves from the harsh winter.

Torghar, which remained a tribal belt of Mansehra district before getting the status of a settled district in 2012, is still under the influence of jirga system and elders of four main tribes of Nusratkhel, Bassikhel, Hassanzai and Akazai are unanimous that a much higher number of houses were destroyed in the tragedy compared to the figures issued by the government. They claimed that over 90 per cent population in the district were living in mud houses.“We are still without any medical facilities as no medical camp is established in our village. One can only reach here on foot after covering a difficult, unfrequented route of eight kilometres,” said Mohammad Imran, a resident of Nusratkhel Kando village, which was badly hit by the earthquake. He said that the people of his village were still facing a danger as the mud houses they were living in had developed big cracks and the district administration had not provided tents and relief items to all the villagers.“The people of my village are also part of protests being held regularly at Judbah and other parts of the district seeking compensation of houses. The government should pay them compensation before the start of harsh winter so that they could reconstruct houses,” he said.According to official sources, Torghar still lacks road and other infrastructure needed even to run a small town.Mohammad Zahid, who lost election for the district councillor seat on PTI ticket from Judbah, the district headquarters of Torghar, said that the independent councillor who joined his party and was made district nazim had also failed to deliver. “When a district nazim of a ruling party can’t raise voice for the rights of people, no one else would come to our rescue at such a critical time,” he said. He said that owing to poverty 90 per cent of houses were made of mud and stones in the district and most of them were either destroyed or they developed dangerous cracks in the earthquake. He said that people continue to live in such houses, but the district administration was not including them in the damage compensation list.“The district nazim should step down from his position or ensure inclusion of such people in the list for compensation,” said Mr Zahid. He said that aftershocks were still being felt in the district and it could cause a big tragedy if houses that developed serious cracks were not reconstructed.Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazal, which is the main coalition partner in the PTI-led district government, also seems annoyed with the provincial government over non-inclusion of Torghar in the list of districts needing emergency relief.“The provincial government has included Swat, Shangla, Dir and Chitral in the emergency relief districts in the province, but ignored Torghar which is an injustice with the people of this hard- hit district,” said Safiullah Khattak, the information secretary of JUI-F Torghar.JUI-F lawmaker from Torghar, Zarin Gul, has also demanded a fresh survey of the damaged houses in the district. Speaking in the provincial assembly, he had demanded that camp offices of the Provincial Disaster Management Authority should be established in the affected districts to speed up post-earthquake activities. According to deputy commissioner, Torghar, Matloobur Rehman the housing compensation had been paid to 563 affected families, while survey of another 663 houses was also completed. He claimed that Rs80 million had so far been paid to the affected families in the district. “I have no objection to a fresh survey if PDMA gives us a go-ahead,” said Mr Rehman.

Two military police KARACHI: Masked gunmen riding a motorcycle shot dead on Tuesday two military policemen in personnel shot dead in Karachi. The victims’ jeep was stuck in traffic on the city’s main MA Jinnah Road when they came under attack from behind, according to officials. “The assailants stopped their car and opened fire Karachi on them near Tibet Centre in Karachi,” a police official told The Express Tribune. Witnesses said The Express Tribune, December 1,

2015 bike-riding militants took head-shots of the two military police personnel who were sitting inside their vehicle. “One of them died on the spot whereas the other succumbed to his injuries at the hospital,” DIG South Jamil Ahmed told AFP. ”This is a very serious incident but we will track the attackers down soon.” Bodies of the personnel, who were later identified as Lans Naik Rashid and Havaldar Irshad, shifted to the PNS Shifa Hospital for post-mortem examination. Police and Rangers cordoned off the crime scene and launched investigations to arrest the suspects. Investigators are trying to obtain CCTV footage from the scene while at least three 9mm bullet casings were recovered from the spot. Sindh Home Minister Sohail Anwar Sial took notice of the incident and directed Inspector General of Police Sindh to submit an inquiry report of the incident. Expressing deep sorrow over the death of two security personnel, the provincial home minister prayed for their forgiveness. “Police have rounded up at least two suspects from the crime scene,” the DIG South said, adding two terrorists opened fire on the vehicle of military police from its back. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah called Karachi Corps Commander Lt-Gen Naveed Mukhtar and inquired about the incident. The chief minister further called a meeting of Karachi Apex Committee to oversee the overall security situation of the metropolis at the Chief Minister’s House on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif expressed his grief over the incident in a message posted on the social media website, Facebook. Later in the day, officials attended the funeral for fallen soldiers.

According to APP, prime minister in a message from London said that “peace and stability is the future of Karachi,” adding the martyred military men sacrificed their lives for a peaceful and prosperous Pakistan. FC recovers 1,000kg QUETTA: Security forces arrested 10 suspected militants and recovered about 1,000 kilogrammes explosives from Ziarat of explosives during separate raids in Balochistan's Ziarat and Killa Saifullah districts on Monday. Daily Dawn, December 1, 2015 Frontier Corps spokesman said security forces demolished four sanctuaries of terrorists during the operation in Ziarat's Sanjavi area and arrested seven militants. About 1,000 kilogrammes of explosive material hidden in a cave and four AK-47s were recovered during the intelligence-driven raid. The militants had dumped the explosives and weapons to smuggle them to Quetta and other parts of Balochistan to carry out subversive activities, the FC spokesman said. In another operation, security forces arrested three militants allegedly linked with banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Killa Saifullah district, the spokesman added. "The militants had targeted security forces in various parts of Northern Balochistan," claimed the FC spokesman. Balochistan is in the throes of the fifth and longest running insurgency since 1947. Triggered in 2005 by the rape of a lady doctor allegedly by an army officer in Sui, it was exacerbated by the death of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti in an Army operation in August 2006. Security forces have intensified their actions in Quetta and other parts of Balochistan after the announcement of the National Action Plan to combat terrorism in the country. Back in September, Balochistan Home Secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani stated that provincial law enforcement agencies have arrested more than 8,000 suspected militants and killed at least 204 after the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP). Durrani had told media that that out of the 204 terrorists killed, around 100 were high-profile terrorists. Bomb disposal pros get PESHAWAR: Zameer Khan’s voice remains steady as he recounts the number of bombs he has top training at Nowshera's defused in his lifetime. “Thirty-seven bombs and Improvised Explosive Devises,” he says. There is an almost defiant indifference in the ex-serviceman’s tone. It does not for a moment indicate the explosive handling school formidable line of work he has chosen; a job that requires him to methodically approach a ticking Daily Dawn, November 30, 2015 bomb when everyone is running away from it. Lionhearted Khan first learnt how to dismantle a bomb when he was in the Pakistan Army. After 20 years in service, he is now enrolled at Pakistan’s first police school of explosive handling (PSEH) in Nowshera taking a refresher course to hone his skill. Despite his years of experience, at PSEH he has a chance to enhance his knowledge as modern war tools evolve. He can learn about circuits — the latest explosive devices — and how to battle the "technological war." The explosive handling school, which launched operations in February this year, provides training on the latest equipment and technology to detect and safely diffuse bombs. It is a major step towards improving the safety of civilians as well as that of Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) personnel. Currently, PSE is training 44 apprentices. Since its launch, 341 officials have completed training at the school. Limited resources, big hearts Located on the bank of River Kabul, the main entrance of the school is decorated with portraits of celebrated BDU personnel who were unwittingly killed in bomb explosions. Among the 15 portraits are the famous duo Hukam Khan and Abdul Haq. The two defused over 2,500 bombs, which the school’s officials believe is the highest number in any part of the world. Despite the danger that comes with their job, BDUs have a very limited operational budget. Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Shafqat Malik says, “We just get salaries from the government." Most of the equipment — including robots, bomb suits, X-ray units, EDOs and vehicles — is arranged for the school free of charge through personal efforts and friends. The school’s main lobby is filled with explosive handling equipment: different types of bombs, detectors and remote-control vehicles for bomb dismantlement — all of which are used during practical training. Malik explains that trainees are

taught to identify the difference between different types of explosive devices, and the disposal of varying types of bombs. They are lucky to be able to use the latest technology, including robots, he says. People come to train at PSEH from different districts of KP. Some, says Inspector Shafiq Khan, are already trained, while others start from scratch. “The school provides newcomers with a learning opportunity, and they get firsthand knowledge from experts.” Khan, an ex-serviceman, is also an instructor at PSEH. New techniques can save lives The school also conducts two-week short refresher courses for BDU officials. They are trained in post-blast investigation and site preservation techniques so that they are able to determine the nature and the quantity of the explosive material(s). According to Shafiq Khan, from the moment someone enters a blast site, even the smallest footprint or fingerprint can contaminate it. As soon as something is touched, the entire crime scene changes and it becomes difficult to later identify and distinguish the element. Additionally, blast scenes are risky sites because of the danger of a second possible blast. Each district in KP currently has at least one BDU expert. There are 450 BDU officials across the province and majority of them are ex-servicemen. Many policemen, who were not part of the BDU, lost their lives when they were unable to handle explosives in the absence of experts. Hukam Khan, member of the famous duo, lost his life because of an unexpected second blast while on duty on September 28, 2012. Post-blast investigation and management techniques, therefore, are extremely crucial for BDU personnel. Safety aside, results from their findings (or lack of) contribute to the amount of evidence present in court cases. “Weak prosecution is often the main reason behind acquittals,” says Khan. A noble but risky profession DSP Waqar, an instructor at PSEH, says there have been 15 casualties to date during bomb diffusal, and KP has lost some of its top experts in the process. But despite a lack of proper training facilities, BDU personnel have managed to defuse over 6,000 bombs since 2009. The majority of officials at BDU are ex-service men, who were once recruited by the police department as serving police officers. Officials are often reluctant to join the BDU — not because they are unwilling to sign up for one of the most dangerous jobs in the world — but because of the lack of proper training and limited resources. AIG Malik believes that the profession itself is considered to be noble. But because of limited resources and equipment, foreign countries and the military have become mainly responsible for training the BDU personnel on handling certain kinds of diffusals, such as Ordinance Explosive Devices (OEDs). “This is time consuming, and in most cases, does not meet our needs,” he says. Despite the difficulty with OEDs, bomb disposal experts from the KP police have successfully diffused more than 5,000 IEDs, including many that were vehicle-borne or carried by suicide bombers. Their gallantry, Malik says, shows how they have “written history with their blood to address the menace of terrorism." In order to reduce the number of deaths and casualties, AIG Shafqat feels that the police department should run its own training institution for OED handling. The police should be able to manage actual bomb disposal, not just fire fighting. A technological war Qazi Waqar, a PhD scholar at PSEH specialising in electrical concepts, feels that trainees also need to be equipped with electrical knowledge. According to him, terrorists keep abreast of new technologies to make superior bomb circuits and explosive devices. Hence, he says, electrical knowledge is vital as being unaware about sensor technology has proven fatal in many cases. An instructor at PESH shows trainees how to defuse an IED with a water disruptor. — Photo by author Zameer Khan says that after learning how to operate new systems during his refresher course, he has become aware that terrorists are also fighting a technological war. Facing danger everyday A friend of the late Hukam Khan, Muhammad Arif, a BDU expert posted at the Hazara Division, feels his companion's loss deeply. But risk is a constant factor in his life, and Arif says he has faced danger on countless occasions. Arif has defused a range of explosive devices: suicide jackets, artillery shells, RPGs, hand grenades, as well as anti-personnel and anti-tank mines and heavy IEDs. He was severely injured in a roadside bomb blast in May 2013, while on his way to his office after defusing a bomb at Thor Gar. He has been working for eight years, and feels the job is his personal duty. “I feel proud that despite knowing my life is at risk, I still take up the responsibility to defuse a bomb,” he says. “My work saves the lives of many people”. But it isn’t an easy job. Many trained men reach the bomb site and lose courage. “You need to be calm and bold,” he says. Zameer Khan, too, witnessed the death of a close friend while he was defusing a bomb. For him, the school offers the hope that he will never have to witness such a thing again. When he steps out to a spot to defuse explosives, Khan elaborates, he finds himself continuously reciting prayers in his heart. He hopes to invoke the mercy of God, to protect him and others like him. “It feels like death is starting at me in the eye,” he says. ISI most powerful spy WEB DESK: In the first admission of its kind, former chief of India’s premier spy agency (RAW) agency in the world: ex- said Pakistan’s spy agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), is the most powerful in the world. “The most powerful intelligence agency is either KGB which no more exists or ISI, because they are Raw chief very anonymous”, AS Dulat said, while addressing a session at the Times Lit Fest in New Delhi. The Express Tribune, November When asked to rate RAW against the spy agencies of the rest of the world, the former spy master 30, 2015 said, “I believe we’re as good as anybody else. We don’t have technical abilities but are fast catching up.” Dulat also upheld that he hasn’t exposed any secrets in his book titled “Kashmir: The Vajpayee Years” and only expressed his views on matters already dominating the public domain. Earlier in July, in another startling revelation, Dulat admitted Indian intelligence agencies have over the years paid militants and separatists, along with mainstream politicians and political parties in Indian Kashmir to compete with Pakistan’s spy agency, ISI. “So what’s wrong? What is there to be so shocked or scandalised by. It’s done the world over,” Dulat had said, while speaking to NDTV’s Barkha Dutt.

Lieutenant-General Rizwan Akhtar took the reins of the chief of ISI in November last year. He took charge from Lt-General Zaheerul Islam as the director general, considered by many to be both the most powerful and the most challenging position in the country. In May, Army chief General Raheel Sharif directed the country’s intelligence agencies – including the ISI – to adopt a more proactive approach in order to counter the moves of the hostile spy agencies that are trying to destabilise Pakistan. Gen Raheel’s statement came two days after gunmen massacred 44 members of the peaceful Ismaili community in a brazen attack on a bus in the Safoora neighbourhood of Karachi. It also came a day after the foreign ministry said that Indian military intelligence agency was using Afghan soil to fuel terrorism in Pakistan.

During a media briefing, the JI leader said on Saturday that entire polling stations Daily Times, December 6, 2015 were captured at Liaquatabad, Nazimabad, North Nazimabad and Korangi town areas, clearly indicating that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement has been losing the so-called mandate, about which its leaders talk often. He said that being peaceful and law-abiding citizens, they do not posses weapons and it was the responsibility of the state and the security institutions to get the polling station free. He was of the view that overall the state organs remained fail to discharge their duties. Rehman said that they contested elections despite flawed voter lists and MQM's 'favoured polling staff.' He was optimistic that they would come out with of the elections with flying colours, despite all the nefarious conspiracies, hatched to theft the mandate of masses.

Election Commission has become the 'selection commission' of Pakistan. Imran Ismail and other leaders also spoke on the occasion. NIH becomes member of ISLAMABAD: The National Institute of Health (NIH), Pakistan, has become a member of the IANPHI International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI), a global initiative that aims The News International, December to develop strong National Public Health Institutes (NPHIs) in different countries across the 5, 2015 world.The IANPHI, which has a strength of over 100 member NPHI institutes from 88 countries, also facilitates alliances among NPHIs and strategic partners to catalyse support for and investment in NPHIs, and develops benchmarks and tools that countries, NPHIs, and peer- assistance teams use to assess, develop, and improve NPHIs and optimise delivery of core public health functions.The National Institute of Health, Pakistan, began as the Bureau of Laboratories in Karachi in June 1948. However, in 1960, a National Health Centre was established in Islamabad as a unified public health facility whose various units were merged in 1974 into one organisation named National Health Laboratories (NHL). In 1980, NHL was made an autonomous body of the Ministry of Health through a Presidential Ordinance and was renamed National Institute of Health (NIH). Its principal function was to serve as the premier public health services institute and to foster international and regional collaboration through participation in global disease control activities.Currently, NIH has five major Divisions, a College of Medical Laboratory Technology, and support departments to facilitate financial, administrative and engineering functions. Four public health programmes of the Ministry of Health are also based at NIH. In March 2015 NIH submitted a request for participation in the IANPHI programme led by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which was accepted in November 2015.As a member of IANPHI, NIH will benefit from the knowledge and scientific expertise of similar organisations. The membership will help NIH to strengthen its capacity as a national leader in public health and support Pakistan’s commitment towards fulfilment of the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and its antecedent obligations. Evidence-based, focused disease control policies and programme driven by relevant public health priorities is a long-term investment for overall health sector improvement and continuing development. KU vicinity awaits KARACHI: The area in front of the Karachi University, a premier and respected higher education cleanliness institute of Pakistan, has become unacceptably filthy due to inefficiency of the civic agencies Daily Times, December 5, 2015 including district municipal corporation East, as well as, the cleaning staff of the varsity itself. This area on the opposite track of the main University Road depicts an ugly and sorry look due to garbage hills, bushes, liter, broken water and gutter lines and illegal squatting of gypsies who break water lines to get water for their use, wash clothes there and strew the whole area with filth and garbage. It is an accepted norm all over the world that the areas around university campuses are kept mirror clean to show keen civic sense, but the Karachi University is an exception as it is almost surrounded by utterly unclean surroundings. Though, the backside of Karachi University along Suparco Road is littered with garbage and filth, but the area in front of its main Golden Jubilee Gate should at least be cleaned to give the surroundings of this important campus at least a respected look. This land presently occupied by garbage dumps and huts of gypsies is owned by the Karachi University, where parking lots, playgrounds, parks and other recreational facilities could be made had the university management used some civic sense. However, the KU bureaucracy does not think on these lines due to lack of capacity. The district municipal corporation East, led by an energetic administrator Rehmatullah Sheikh, should take a lead to initiate an aggressive drive to make this area tidy and clean, by removing illegal encroachments, repairing broken water and gutter lines, cutting bushes, removing truckloads of garbage and making recreational tree planting all over this neglected area. Wrong parking clogs KARACHI: Illegal and wrong parking has clogged the main arteries of Saddar area, with Regal arteries in Saddar Chowk and New Preedy Street being the most affected areas. The commercial area of Regal Daily Times, December 5, 2015 Chowk depicts the worst violations of traffic rules in Karachi only due to negligence of Preedy traffic zone that has failed to implement ‘24-hours no parking’ in this busy area. Though the traffic police have erected the signboards of ‘tow-away area: 24-hours no parking’ in Regal Chowk area but still vehicles are seen illegally parked directly beneath these signboards, which is not only a mockery of law, but also a question mark on the performance and impartiality of the traffic police of Preedy Traffic Zone. It is an open secret that owners of shops in Regal Chowk area do not want this area be made no-parking zone and some black sheep in traffic police are hand in glove with these people. However, the commuters, motorists and pedestrians suffer a lot due to these gross traffic violations, especially regarding illegal and wrong parking. In past the two-way road of Regal Chowk was made one-way to ensure smooth flow of traffic, but this extra space is being used by the shopkeepers and their buyers who park their vehicles wrongly here, hindering the smooth flow of traffic. Recently, it was decided in a high-level meeting in present of Commissioner Karachi Soaib Siddiqui that another traffic zone, named Saddar Traffic Zone with its office in CDGK Parking Plaza Saddar would be created to deal with the gross violation of traffic rules in Saddar, but this decision is yet to be implemented. New Preedy Street has been facing severe traffic jams as hundreds of pushcart vendors have occupied both sides of the road up to car parking plaza building. To ensure smooth traffic flow in Regal Chowk and Saddar area it is necessary that this area be truly made a no-parking zone and the ‘tow-away area: 24-hours no parking’ rule must be implemented in Regal Chowk area in the larger public interest. ‘Total policing’ needed KARACHI: Metropolitan city of Karachi still faces serious challenges to contain crime, especially under metropolitan model mugging, because the Karachi police is not trained in urban policing and is ill-equipped to fight Daily Times, December 5, 2015 urban crime, because this police is trained in conventional policing introduced by the British rulers to tame local people depending on old colonial techniques of fear and bullying. This metropolitan city badly needs a metropolitan police to purge the city effectively from urban crime and urban criminals. The practical model of metropolitan police is the Metropolitan Police Service of London, UK. The Metropolitan Police Service, abbreviated to MPS and widely known informally as “the Met”, is the territorial police force responsible for law enforcement in Greater London, excluding the “square mile” of the City of London, which is the responsibility of the City of London Police. Today,

the Metropolitan Police Service employs around 31,000 officers together with about 13,000 police staff and 2,600 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). The MPS is also being supported by more than 5,100 volunteer police officers in the Metropolitan Special Constabulary (MSC) and its Employer Supported Policing (ESP) programme. The Metropolitan Police Services covers an area of 620 square miles and a population of 7.2 million. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, commonly known simply as the Commissioner, is the overall operational leader of the force, responsible and accountable to the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime. Presently, MPS Commissioner is Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe. Born in Sheffield, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has an MA in Law from Oxford University, a diploma in Applied Criminology and was awarded an MBA in Business Administration from Sheffield University. Met believe in the concept of total policing. Total policing means a total war on crime, total care for victims, and total professionalism from our staff. The objectives of total policing include cutting crime, cut costs, and continue to develop the culture of the organisation. Met strives to achieve this with humility, integrity and transparency. They say: “we will develop making the Met the best police service in the world. And we’ll do this by being the very best we can be, and upholding our Corporate Values of Courage, Compassion, Professionalism and Integrity. The Metropolitan Police Service was founded in 1829 by Robert Peel, who were affectionately, known as “bobbies”, under the Metropolitan Police Act 1829, and at that time, merged with the River Thames Marine Police Force, which had been formed in 1798. In 1837, it also incorporated with the Bow Street Horse Patrol that had been organised in 1805. Metropolitan Police officers have legal jurisdiction throughout all of England and Wales, including areas that have their own special police forces, such as the Ministry of Defence, as do all police officers of territorial police forces. Officers also have limited powers in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Within the MPD, the Met will take over the investigation of any serious crime from the British Transport Police and Ministry of Defence Police, if it is deemed appropriate. Terrorist incidents and complex murder enquiries will almost always be investigated by the Met, with the assistance of any relevant specialist force, even if they are committed on railway or Ministry of Defence property. (A minor oddity to the normal jurisdiction of territorial police officers in England and Wales is that Met officers involved in the protection duties of the Royal Family and other VIPs have full police powers in Scotland and Northern Ireland in connection with those duties.) Metropolitan Police employees consist of uniformed police officers, special constables, civilian staff, and police community support officers. The Met was the first force to introduce PCSOs. Uniformed traffic wardens, who wear a uniform with yellow and black markings, are a distinct body from local council civil enforcement officers. The former have greater powers that include being able to stop vehicles and redirect traffic at an incident. In addition to the headquarters at New Scotland Yard, there are 140 police stations in London. These range from large borough headquarters staffed around the clock every day to smaller stations, which may be open to the public only during normal business hours, or on certain days of the week. Like Met the Karachi also needs a police force aimed at Sustainable Policing. About the sustainable policing Met says: “We are working to be the best police force in the world. One way we are doing this is by managing all our resources in a responsible, sustainable and transparent way. Our corporate social responsibility reporting demonstrates how we deliver against a broad range of issues of importance to Londoners and our employees, how we manage our environmental, social and economic impacts and gives a flavour of the wide range of work that we do.” To give the metropolitan Karachi a metropolitan police it needs taking courageous political decisions in the larger public interest, as with a better policing Karachi could be made a better and safer city, and thus boosting its economic potential for a better and more prosperous Pakistan. Govt to step up anti-polio LAHORE: Punjab Chief Secretary Khizar Hayat Gondal has directed the health department to step campaigns up efforts for polio eradication, saying that no negligence would be tolerated in this regard. He was Daily Times, December 5, 2015 presiding over a meeting to review the steps taken for polio eradication at the Civil Secretariat on Friday. Addressing the meeting, the chief secretary said that all possible steps were being taken to eradicate polio once and for all. International agencies have also acknowledged Punjab government’s efforts in this regard, he added. He directed the district coordination officers (DCOs) to personally monitor the anti-polio campaigns and regularly review the situation in their districts. The chief secretary said that people’s cooperation is of key importance in efforts to combat polio, adding that all relevant departments should play an active role in enhancing public awareness about this crippling disease. He maintained that there is a need to work with national spirit to eradicate polio. Panic alert system ISLAMABAD: To ensure effective security arrangements of media outlets capital city police have installed in 31 media conducted the security audit and survey of 38 media houses and installed panic alert system to prevent any unpleasant incident. Talking to APP, a police source said that Interior Minister Ch houses Nisar Ali Khan has categorically asked to review safety and security arrangements for media Daily Times, December 5, 2015 outlets and various steps have been taken by Islamabad police for security mechanism at media houses. He said that the police officials have already conducted various meetings with PID officers and representatives of media houses. It was told that panic alert system has been installed at 31 media houses after conducting the security audit of 38 media outlets while 123 security guards have been given security training in a 3-day programme. A local television channel was attacked on December 1 by unidentified attackers who hurled a hand grenade resulting injuries to two policemen and a worker. In addition, the source said that security audit of 150 buildings have been completed and 530 bunkers have been constructed for guards deputed for security purpose.

Blood safety system ISLAMABAD: State Minister for National Health Services (NHS) Saira Afzal Tarar has appreciated reforms successfully the successful implementation of the blood safety system reforms through the Safe Blood Transfusion Programme (SBTP). She was addressing the national workshop on “Achievements in implemented Safe Blood Transfusion Reforms” which was organised by the Safe Blood Transfusion Programme Daily Times, December 5, 2015 in collaboration with GIZ on Friday. State Minister Saira Tarar chaired the workshop for national health services, the German Ambassador Ina Lepel along with GIZ and KFW officials represented the German government. SBTP National Coordinator Prof Hasan Abbas Zaheer, and provincial managers including important national stakeholders were also present, said a press release.
