PPP to subsidise farm implements worth Rs 1230 million
KARACHI: The Sindh government will provide Rs1,230 million subsidy to growers on purchase or hiring of farm implements to promote mechanised farming in the province during 2014-*15.


The incentives include:

- Rs1,000m for assistance to farmers on purchase of 11,000 wheel type tractors on subsidised rates

- Rs100m subsidy on hiring of agriculture implements for mechanised farming

- Rs130m for provision of solar pumps to farmers on 50 per cent subsidy.


Agriculture Secretary Saqib Soomro told Dawn that the department would introduce for the first time in the province use of tubewells and pumps to be propelled with the help of solar energy. The concept already introduced in the Punjab would go a long way in minimising cost of electricity and would ensure uninterrupted supply of water even during the electricity failures.


He said that solar pumps and tubewells will be provided to farmers on 50pc of the purchase price.


The World Bank-assisted Rs8,746m Sindh agriculture growth project will be launched this year to improve productivity of minor crops and to provide market access to small and medium producers to major town markets and develop a value chain for increasing value-addition to minor crops, such as tomato and chillies to save large commodities of local produce from wastage.


The project aims at investing in knowledge and technology for farmers of minor crops and livestock.


Among the new projects to be implemented this fiscal year include:

- the establishment of a Rs200m cotton and sugarcane research institute at Ghotki, which has lately emerged as a cluster of sugar mills. There are already five research centres operating in the province to raise output of various crops.


- development of technology for production of hybrid seeds in the province at a cost of Rs500m

- launching of bio-fertiliser agriculture programme at a cost of Rs300m.

Pakistan Textile Mills association praises PPP's policies and hits out at Nawaz league's flop policies
LAHORE: It was something unusual: the powerful textile tycoons feeding a former president who is also head of a political party that lost the last elections to a “business-friendly” politician, and recalling his five-year tenure during which the industry was able to increase its exports by almost $5 billion to $13.5-14 billion.

The occasion was the dinner hosted by All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (Aptma) former chairman Gohar Ejaz at his home for Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.


Normally, the business community of Punjab is believed to be suspicious of the PPP because of its past. Many remember how the wholesale nationalisation of the industry and banking sector in 70s had deprived the industrialists of their wealth and forced them to start from a scratch and rebuild their businesses.


The PML-N and its leader are widely considered pro-business. But no longer. The business community’s preferences seem to be shifting fast.


“It was because of President Zardari’s pro-business policies and his personal interest in ensuring energy supplies to the industry in Punjab that created an enabling environment in the province that the industry was able to raise its exports,” said Gohar.
Between 1947 and 2008, the textile exports went up to $9-9.5 billion. But during the last term of the PPP, the industry’s exports surged 50pc.

“We, as business community, do not have any preference for or affiliation with any political party or politician. However, it will be unfair if we don’t give credit to Mr Zardari who helped the industry and the country earn more export revenue and save thousands of jobs,” Gohar said.


Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who had promised to mend the economy and resolve the growing energy crisis before his assuming of the office for a third term, is now seen by many businessmen as pursuing populist policies rather than taking the tough decisions.


“What is a leader if he cannot lead the nation?,” wondered a leading textile exporter. “Rather than taking long-term tough decisions required to mend the economy, the prime minister is now following the populist policies. It seems as if the ruling PML-N is in the election mode,” he said.


The energy shortage for the textile industry in Punjab has already cost the nation $1 billion during the five months between April and August 2014 on account of 24pc quantitative decrease in export of yarn and 40pc plunge in export of fabric. Apart from the upstream textile industry the value-added sector of Punjab had suffered a lot because of gas and power crunch.

The finishing industry in Punjab is working at a fraction of its capacity and the business is shifting to Karachi. “The gas and power shortages are causing a huge loss to the value-added industry in Punjab. Our business is being captured by the industry in Karachi or elsewhere in the region. It just because of the wrong government priorities,” said Ahmed Kamal, a former chairman of the Faisalabad-based All Pakistan Textile Exporters Association.

He said though Sindh government has taken various steps to improve the health sector however there is always room for improvement which was being focused by provincial government.

Karachi

Traffic-plagued Karachiites received a major boost on Thursday as the Sindh government promised building the long-awaited elevated expressway from Jinnah Bridge near Karachi Port to the Quaidabad intersection.

Sharjeel Memon while talking to the media after inaugurating a park in Clifton said the government would soon commence work on the proposed bridge along Sharea Faisal.

The provincial information and local government minister said the construction of the 25-kilometre expressway would commence in the coming days. The project would be completed in about two and half years.

“It is one of the many such mega development projects envisioned by the provincial government to transform Karachi into a world class, modern, and one of the most developed cities in the world,” Memon said. “The government is determined to make Karachi gridlock-free and for that purpose, it is giving the gift of the elevator bridge to the people.”

About the two flyovers under construction in Malir – at Malir Halt and at Malir 15 intersections, Memon said the projects would be completed in the next three months. “The proposed and the under-construction projects in Karachi will help ease out persisting vehicular traffic congestion phenomenally and will save precious time and fuel of the commuters.”

The provincial government would also construct a dual motor carriageway between Super Highway and National Highway in the city, he added.

The proposal for Pakistan’s first-ever elevated expressway cropped up in March 2006 when the now-defunct City District Government Karachi signed an agreement with a Malaysian firm. The 24-metre-wide Karachi Elevated Expressway, was to be built at a cost of $225 million in three years, passing over Moulvi Tamizzuddin Khan Road, Club Road and Sharea Faisal.

The project was, however, abandoned due to the city’s unstable law and order situation but has been revived recently by the Sindh government with the objective to end traffic congestion on main thoroughfares.


New facilities

At the inauguration of Hosh Mohammad Sheedi Park, Memon said the four-acre park would add to the existing facilities for residents of Karachi. The park has been constructed on an unutilised piece of land, which was earlier used by the municipal authorities as a junkyard of unused machinery. The park cost the government Rs40 million and was completed in six months.

The minister said the government and the anti-encroachment unit of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation had been working constantly to vacate government and amenity pieces of land in the city under illegal occupation. “The government and KMC need the support of police and Rangers whenever and wherever the ant-encroachment drive becomes an uphill and challenging task for the municipal authorities.”

Cleanliness drive

The minister admitted that cleanliness and sanitation in Karachi had become a challenging task. All municipal administrators, municipal commissioners and town municipal administrations have been directed to hold open courts every Monday for three hours to receive public complaints regarding disposal of municipal waste and garbage in their areas.

Memon said a large number of “ghost employees” were working in the local government departments, especially at the KMC and the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB).

So far, he added, the scrutiny of around 2,000 such employees has been completed in the KWSB while an operation was also under way in the KMC to purge the municipal authority of the large number of ghost employees, drawing undue salaries from the exchequer.

PPP ~ Smartphones to help map dengue-hit areas
54bb23aba367d.jpg

— AFP/file

KARACHI: The Sindh health department has provided 42 smartphones to the dengue prevention and control programme for digital mapping of dengue-infected neighbourhoods, it emerged on Saturday.
Officials said that mobile phones enabled with dedicated software would be used to detect the neighbourhoods infected with dengue larva, photograph and chart them and wire them to a control room, which would record it on its servers and disseminate them to health facilities concerned, organisations and research bodies.
Besides, the officials said, many more gadgets were being examined to be part of a planned massive effort to keep dengue’s harm to a minimum level.
They added that the record, which had not been maintained since last year after the abolition of the dengue surveillance cell, would be kept with more information about patients in Sindh and the rest of the country.
They said that the provincial health department had already selected a reputable laboratory which would assist the programme in analysing the larva, its hazards and effective measures to eradicate the disease.
The dengue control programme is also seeking the assistance of Suparco (Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission) and awaiting the latter’s reply to its request.
It is learnt that the programme would start its proceedings in Karachi because of the fact that the city had historically been the key victim of dengue since it effectively emerged in the country 10 years ago. They, however, said soon after the digital mapping began in Karachi, the districts of Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Thatta and Larkana would be targeted.
All those districts had produced dengue victims during the past two years.
The officials said dengue affected more than 1,500 people last year and 17 of them died of the mosquito-borne disease.

PPP ~ Malir Halt and Malir 15 flyover projects underway
823041-construction-1421431342-448-640x480.JPG


KARACHI: Irked by the slow pace of work being done on the Malir Halt and Malir 15 flyover projects, Karachi Commissioner Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui has ordered the relevant authorities to expedite the work without any further delay.
Presiding over a meeting at his office on Friday, he said: “I am heading this meeting today because the planning and development department called and informed me about the release of funds.”
Earlier, the construction of the flyover projects was delayed on the pretext of the non-release of funds. However, the funds allocated for the projects have now been released. “If the chief minister of the province is trying to give a good shape to the city, we all should help him,” said the commissioner.
The commissioner directed the higher authorities of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) to take action against the officers who were not performing their duties and delaying the work on the projects.

“I request the KMC administrator to take action against those officers who are not performing their duties,” said Siddiqui. “I am sure the administrator will summon a meeting very soon for this purpose.”
Stressing the importance of the project, Siddiqui asked the officers to direct the KMC engineers and contractors to expedite the construction works underway across the city. He also advised both the projects’ directors to take precautionary measures on the sites to avoid accidents. He also informed the officials that his office will always be available for any kind of help needed for the welfare of citizens.
