What was the chicken doing lately in the evenings? I would say, ask the people close to him not his 10% dad.

If this party wins one more time in Pakistan . I will give up my nationality

They will for sure.

Executing body for Karachi Light Rail project formed

The Sindh government on Friday constituted a five-member execution cell for the proposed 18.38 kilometer-long Karachi Light Rail (Brown Line) project.

The government aims to complete the project with Chinese assistance by the beginning of 2018, which is general elections year.

The chief secretary has notified the constitution of the execution cell with the additional chief secretary (development) as chairman and the finance, transport and mass transit department secretaries and Khurshid Jamali, an adviser to the Sindh government, as members. The Karachi Mass Transit Cell director general would also act as secretary.

The terms of reference of the cell would include reviewing and finalising structure of project financing, guarantees, terms of financing and procurement process.

The committee would also consider any matter related to the project as considered appropriate by it in accordance with rules, procedures, and policy of the govt.

In a meeting held a week ago Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah had decided to launch a $1,269.02 billion Karachi Light Rail, Brown Line project on war footing.

The total length of the Brown Line project is 18.38 kilometers, of which 20.63 percent or 3.7 kilometers would be underground while the remaining 12.92 kilometers or 70.30 percent is elevated. Its ground transitional stage would be 1.67 kilometres long. Furthermore, the project would have 13 stations with three of them underground and 10 elevated, and would also have rolling stock base and operational control centers.

The unidirectional peak passenger volume can reach to 20,000 to 70,000 persons per trip.

Some 60 percent ($769.03 million) of the total cost would be a 13-year Chinese loan while the Sindh government would pay the remaining 40 percent i.e. ($500 million).

Sindh government to disburse interest-free loans among fishermen

The provincial government plans to assign the Sindh Bank to disburse interest-free loans to bona fide fishermen to provide financial backup to the seafarers' community during the fishing ban in June and July, officials said on Monday. Seafood exporters appreciated the government's proposed move and hoped the effective yearly ban on fish and shrimp hunting would help the sea rejuvenate its fisheries stocks that are at risk due to excessive fishing.

"Karachi Fish Harbour Authority (KFHA) will only facilitate the bank to provide it with active bona fide fishermen registration data," the authority's officials said, adding that the loan amount was expected to be not more than Rs 20,000 per head. In this regard, the KFHA had also sent a letter to secretary Sindh Live Stocks and Fisheries Department, a copy of which is available Business Recorder, stating that "It is suggested that loan may be arranged from Sindh Bank for 35,000 active and bona fide fishermen registered with the KFHA for their livelihood during the upcoming ban season."

The officials said that the government planned to provide a financial backup to the fishermen who remained jobless during the two-month annual fishing ban. "There is a very little chance the fishermen who the loan is offered will acquire the amount at first since they have to return it eventually," they said.

There will be no more than 10,000 fishermen out of the total 35,000, who would go for loan, they said, adding that there was a unique trend of getting everything for free as the concept of returning was very rare. "They [fishermen] want everything for free even loan," they said. The government would bear the entire mark-up on the loan, officials said as the letter also suggests that the return of the borrowing would have to be in easy instalments and not in single payback. "Further modus operandi will be worked out for the recovery of loan from fishermen," the letter indicates.
