According to a news item datelined Islamabad the Press Information Department (PID) has removed 250 “dummy” newspapers and publications from the Central Media List which is prepared after Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) practical audit of each publication and further scrutiny is going on.

2. Sometime in 2015 Rauf Klasra narrated how during his then visit to USA, in a get together the owner and editor-in-chief of once most popular monthly digest “Sub Rang” now living in USA, wanted to revive the demised publication. According to Klasra as all including he himself loved reading that monthly, the friends decided to financially contribute towards the revival project and the senior journalist Mujeebur Rehman Shami announced ten lac. Just the other day someone in his column mentioned how Rauf Klasra used to impatiently wait in 70s monthly’s new issue to read new instalment of popular series “Bazirgar“. Last week when Klasra went his village he took with him a 30 year old issue of the digest to read while on holiday there.

3. First half of 80s the publication started appearing late. Gradually the stage reached where from earlier one month, two months late, it started appearing once a year or more. Despite my old age I do remember someone complained to the Ombudsman that while the digest practically was not coming in the market, dummies (old copies wrapped in new cover page with fresh date mentioned thereon) were being deposited with the concerned Department to fill up the legal requirement. It was in order to keep continue receiving at official rate the quota of newspaper paper (for sale in the open market). The reply from the Department (if my memories are not misguiding me in this too old age the Press Information Department Sindh) was that depositing of dummy publication was not prescribed in the books violation of any Law.

4. Wonderful technique for self interest, fooling the nation all under a unique style protected in the Law.
