Minister for Human Rights (Mr. Kamran Michael): Women in Distress and Detention Fund was established in 1996 under an Act of Parliament namely Women in Distress and Detention Fund Act, 1996 (XV of 1996). Since promulgation of the Act, the fund has remained non-operational over the years and not been utilized to assist women in prisons mainly due to following two reasons:—

(I) The composition of high powered Board of Governors, as stipulated in Section 6 of the Act, presented issues of meeting necessary quorum on account of members official engagements.

(II) The frequent merger of the Human Rights Division into the Law and Justice Division and then bi-furcating it to give status of Ministry kept the fund in-operational. Every time Federal Secretariat is re-organized, it brings the need of necessary Parliamentary Amendments in the Act to make it operational. As on creation of an independent Ministry of Human Rights in 2007, the Fund was transferred to it from Law and Justice Division. Accordingly, in December, 2011 the Parliament enacted an amendment in the Women in Distress and Detention Fund Act, 1996(XV of 1996) to make it operational in the Ministry of Human Rights. Again in the wake of reorganization of the Federal Secretariat on 7th June, 2013, and subsequent merger of Ministry of Human Rights with Ministry of Law & Justice, the need for necessary amendments in the Women in Distress and Detention Fund Act (XV of 1996) has emerged for the purpose of making Women in Distress and Detention Fund operational.

In order to overcome this situation and to make this fund operational, Ministry submitted a Summary on 22nd July, 2014 to the Cabinet Division for its presentation to the Cabinet seeking amendment in Section 6 of the Women in Distress and Detention Fund Act, 1996 (XV of 1996). The Cabinet Committee constituted by the Prime Minister for disposal of legislative cases 13 considered Summary for Cabinet on “Women in Distress and Detention Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2014” in its meeting held on 26th January, 2016 and approved the amendments proposed in the Bill. The Bill in its final form with a statement of objects and reasons duly signed by the Minister in-Charge is forwarded to the Law and Justice Division for its transmission to the Parliamentary Affairs Division for its introduction in the Assembly/Senate.

With the import of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and injection of Regasified LNG (RLNG) into The system, the gap has been mitigated to a great extent. It has enabled SNGPL to ensure uninterrupted supplies to its consumers. Currently, gas supply to Domestic, Commercial, Industrial, Power, Fertilizer and CNG sectors across SNGPL’s network is being made on unintorruptible basis. 17 The gap of demand and supply however widens further and situation worsens during winter months on account of usage of room and water heaters.

Will the Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources be pleased to state the steps taken by the Government to overcome the shortfall of gas during the coming winter season?

Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources (Mr. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi): The country is facing vast gap between demand and supply of gas which is bridged through load management in different sectors in Punjab & to some extent in Sindh including Power, Industry, CNG and Fertilizer in order to cater for demand of high priority domestic and commercial sectors in accordance with the Natural Gas Allocation and Management Policy, 2005.

With the import of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and injection of Regasified LNG (RLNG) into the system, the gap has been mitigated to a great extent. It has enabled SNGPL to ensure uninterrupted supplies to its consumers. Currently, gas 28 supply to Domestic, Commercial, Industrial, Power, Fertilizer and CNG sectors across SNGPL’s network is being made on uninterruptible basis.

The gap of demand and supply however widens further and situation worsens during winter months on account of usage of room and water heaters. In order to ensure uninterrupted supplies of indigenous gas to highest priority domestic sector, indigenous gas supplies to lower priority sectors shall be managed / curtailed, especially during peak winter months.

No additional expenditure is required for such works, instead project has been completed with a saving of Rs.1000 million (approx.). (Awarded amount is Rs. 12937 million. and Tentative completion amount is Rs.11755 million). Contractor is bound to remain at stie till expiry of Defect Liability period i.e 21st November 2016 for any probable rectification. 31 (c) Roads and other civic infrastructure of NA-148 has not been affected by construction of Motorway between Khanewal-Multan.
