100 MW solar projects approved
LAHORE: The Punjab Energy Council has given formal approval to a 100-megawatt solar energy project in Bahawalpur which is slated to start generation from the beginning of next year.
Chairing Thursday’s council meeting, Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that the government was looking at traditional as well as alternative energy production methods to resolve the power crisis. The government had set up a separate Energy Department, as well as the council, to tackle the problem.
Sharif said that two solar parks were being set up at Lal Sohanra and Din Garh in Bahawalpur. These would start generating 50 MW each at the start of the first quarter of 2014.
The chief minister set up a committee headed by the chief secretary to review letters of intent issued for hydropower projects and to report on the progress made in these projects. He said that no extension would be given in the letter of intent.
He said that the Punjab government had made a plan to convert agri tube-wells to run on biogas instead of diesel, which would save billions of rupees. The government would subsidiss the installation of the tube-wells for farmers, he added.
The chief secretary was also told to arrange for a scientific study of biogas tube-wells. The chief minister said that the extension wing of the Agriculture Department had played an important role in agriculture development and should be reactivated.
Earlier, the agriculture secretary briefed the council on the conversion of irrigation tube-wells to biogas while the energy secretary briefed the council on the progress of the Quaid-i-Azam Solar Park.
Ministers Sher Ali Khan, Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman and Dr Farrukh Javed also attended the meeting.
Turks calls on chief minister
A delegation from the Turkish Ministry of Housing called on Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Thursday to discuss bilateral ties as well as various projects the Turkish government is helping Pakistan with.
The chief minister said that while Pakistan and Turkey had long been friends, they now also had strong economic ties, with Turkish companies investing billions of rupees in the Punjab in particular. He recalled the assistance given by the Turkish government in relief and rehabilitation efforts after heavy floods in the country in recent years. He said that 380 new houses built with help from the Turks had recently been completed and would soon be handed over to victims of the floods.
The expertise of the Turkish Ministry of Housing would be useful to the Punjab government in launching a new housing scheme for the poor, as well as in the ongoing Ashiana housing project, the chief minister said. Turkish experts are also helping to reform and train the Punjab Police, he added.
The chief minister commended outgoing Turkish Ambassador Mustafa Babur Hizlan for strengthening Pak-Turk ties and promoting the Punjab government’s interactions with Turkish companies. The ambassador thanked the chief minister for his support during his time in office.
Turkish Minister Erdogan Bayratar said that the two countries had similar views on world affairs. He said that the Punjab had made commendable progress under Shahbaz Sharif and wished Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif success in leading the country.
The Turkish delegation included Usman Askan Baik, Ahmet Sahan, Ahmet Al-Bayrak Noori Al-Bayrak, Hassan Al-Bayrak and Binyamin Karaka. Ministers Rana Sanaullah Khan, Raja Ashfaq Sarwar, Sher Ali Khan and Tanvir Aslam, Inspector General of Punjab Police Khan Baig and Lahore Transport Company Chairman Khawaja Ahmed Hassaan also attended the meeting.
The chief minister later hosted a luncheon in honour of the Turkish delegation.

Punjab reports ‘lowest’ number of dengue cases
LAHORE, Sept 11: Punjab had the lowest number of reported dengue cases this season despite a heavier monsoon in the province, a Punjab cabinet committee meeting presided over by the health minister was told on Wednesday.
The minister, Khalil Tahir Sindhu, said though September was more conducive to dengue breeding than earlier months, the breeding of the mosquito that caused the disease remained low this season.
The cabinet committee meeting was held to review the dengue situation and steps taken by various government departments and institutions to check the spread of the ailment.
Health Secretary Hasan Iqbal told the meeting though this season 748mm rain was recorded as compared to 209mm last monsoon, the number of dengue cases remained lower than that of previous year.
He said so far 1,090 confirmed dengue cases were reported in Sindh with 11 deaths, 2,500 cases in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially in Swat district, where more than 250 patients were admitted while 7 died of the disease.
However, the secretary said, so far only 104 confirmed dengue cases had been reported in Punjab and 14 patients were under treatment in different hospitals of the province.
He said the Punjab health department was in contact with the KP government and offering technical support to the province for dengue control.
Moreover, he said, 20 bottles of Dextron-40 had also been dispatched to Swat. He said vector surveillance and larvaeciding was continuing at union council level in the province.
The environment secretary told the meeting that 124 notices had been served on the owners of the properties where dengue larva was found whereas 205 FIRs had also been registered for ignoring government directions in this regard.
He said dengue larva was mostly being reported indoors in Wagah Town.
‘NO CASE’ at LGH: Post Graduate Medical Institute head Prof Anjum Habib Vohra has said no dengue case was reported at the Lahore General Hospital so far that indicated that the government and public efforts to control the disease proved effective.
The LGH is one of the major health facilities that catered medical needs of a large number of patients coming from southern part of the city. It had received dozens of dengue patients in September 2011.
“Not a single dengue patient was received at the LGH since January which showed that the efforts of the government and the public to control the disease bore fruit”, LGH chief executive told a meeting called on Wednesday to review treatment arrangements for the dengue patients.
He, however, alerted the officials, doctors and nurses to ensure their presence at the dengue counters set up various hospitals of the city.

100 days of PML-N Govt.
ن لیگی اپنے پیجز پر جیسا مرضی پروپیگنڈا کر لیں
کہ ن لیگ نے دودھ کی نہریں بہا دی ہیں
لیکن حقیقت وہی ہے جو عوام خود بول رہے ہیں ..
کسی بھوکے کو کسی بھی طرح روٹی دیے بغیر قائل نہیں کیا جا سکتا
کہ اسکا پیٹ بھرا ہوا ہے ..
اسی طرح ن لیگی جتنے مرضی گن گا لیں نواز شریف کے
مگر حقیقت کیا ہے۔؟ آپ خود سن لیں۔
