Govt reverses ECC's decision to hand over Karachi Circular Railway project to Sindh government

• The federal government takes back ECC's decision to allow Sindh to maintain Karachi Circular Railway
• All upgradation and operation work of the Rs739 billion project has been assigned to the Ministry of Railways
• MQM Pakistan's Javed Hanif included in the Karachi Transformation Plan Committee

The federal government on Saturday announced it is taking back the Economic Coordination Committee's decision of handing over the Karachi Circular Railway Project to the Sindh government.

According to Geo News, the decision was reversed on the recommendation of the secretary of the Cabinet Division.

Therefore, all upgradation and operation work of the Rs739 billion project has been assigned to the Ministry of Railways.

Earlier, due to objections put forth by the ministry, the project had been handed over to the Sindh government.

In a parallel development, approval to include MQM Pakistan's Javed Hanif in the Karachi Transformation Plan Committee was accorded.

The project faced several setbacks before it became partially operational back in November.

SC orders revival

In February 2020, a three-member bench headed by CJP Gulzar Ahmed and comprising Justice Faisal Arab and Justice Sajjad Ali Shah had directed Pakistan Railways and Sindh government to remove all encroachments from the lands meant for the long-delayed circular railway system in the metropolis within six months.

Then, on November 10, the court issued a contempt notice to both over failure to revive KCR.

The bench directed Sindh chief secretary, railways secretary, and the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) director-general to appear in person and brief the court on why the project is still not operational.

"We will call everyone. If need be, even the premier and chief minister will be called," observed the top judge.

Project inaugurated

On November 19, Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed inaugurated the much-awaited project at the City Station in Karachi.

Addressing a post-launch ceremony, Ahmed said four trains will operate daily from Pipri to the City Station in the first phase. The fare has been decided at Rs30 per route while the traveling pass will be sold at Rs750.

Ahmed said the KCR will also be extended to other parts of the city. "Rs1.8 billion have been earmarked for the project — out of which Rs17 million have been spent," he said. "A KCR coach cost Rs900,000."

Sindh chief minister issued contempt notice

Subsequently, on November 26, the apex court issued a contempt notice to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah over failure to implement orders pertaining to the clearing of certain portion of the tracks.

During a hearing, the top judge observed that the work should have been completed in two months and asked the director general of Frontier Works Organization (FWO) to explain why the work has not started yet.

"We have submitted a design plan to the Sindh government and are awaiting approval," the FWO director general told the bench.

The bench issued a contempt notice to the provincial chief minister and show-cause notice to secretary railways, giving them two weeks to submit a reply. The hearing was adjourned till December 2.

The KCR project

Initiated in 1964, the old KCR route started from Drigh Road and ended in downtown Karachi. After suffering losses for years, it ceased operations in 1999.

The Karachi Circular Railways revival project includes the transformation of the old route into a mass transit system with the total length of the railway track expected to be 50 kilometers.

Centre takes back control of major hospitals of Karachi, Lahore


ByTLTP

ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Tuesday issued a notification regarding the takeover of three major hospitals in Karachi and one in Lahore.
Through the notification, the federal government took administrative control of the three hospitals of Karachi, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) and National Institute of Child Health (NICH), besides taking over Lahore’s Sheikh Zayed Federal Postgraduate Medical Institute.
Prior to the notification, the JPMC was being administered by the federal government despite transfer of powers to Sindh province through a constitutional amendment.
The decision to get back the control of major hospitals of provincial capitals was taken by the federal government under the Medical Teaching Institution Ordinance.
Earlier, the federal government had handed over the administration of JPMC to the Sindh government before the ruling of the Supreme Court (SC) to hand over administrative powers of the three hospitals of Karachi to the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination.
The SC through its judgement in January, 2019 had given the control of the three hospitals of Karachi to the federal government and directed the provincial as well as federal governments to complete a smooth transition of the hospitals’ control in 90 days.
The verdict was announced after the Sindh government and the health institutions had approached the court with a claim that since the subject of health had been devolved to the provinces through an amendment, the management of the JPMC, NICVD and NICH was also vested with the Sindh government.
