Everyone has a right to post their political viewpoints; @Qalandari is not the only one here doing it. So let's be civil.

Growing up in the Karachi of the 70's, there was a joke:
The then Chief Minister of Sindh Jam Sadiq was so corrupt that one day even Zulfi Bhutto--the Prime Minister of Pakistan-- had to tell him: "Jam! At least leave my Clifton house and Jinnah's Mausoleum alone from your property thefts!' Ha ha ha!

سندھ پولیس ڈاکوؤں کو پکڑنے کے لیے اب ڈرون ٹیکنالوجی کا استعمال کرے گی

ڈرون ٹیکنالوجی سمت کے تعین میں کافی مددگار ثابت ہوسکتی ہے، ایس ایس پی، فوٹو:فائل

سکھر: ڈرون ٹیکنالوجی کا استعمال دورجدید کی ضرورت بنتا جارہا ہے اور پاکستان میں میڈیا ہاؤسز جلسے جلوسوں کی کوریج کے لیے اس سے استفادہ کرتے ہیں لیکن اب سندھ میں پولیس ڈاکوؤں کو پکڑنے کے لیے ڈرون ٹیکنالوجی سے مدد حاصل کرے گی۔

برطانوی نشریاتی ادارے کو دیئے گئے انٹرویو میں ایس ایس پی سکھر تنویر حسین تنیو کا کہنا تھا کہ ان کی حدود میں زیادہ تر کارروائیاں کچے کے علاقے میں کی جاتی ہیں جہاں ڈاکوؤں نے اپنی محفوظ پناہ گاہیں بنا رکھی ہیں اور پولیس کی ان مقامات تک رسائی کے وقت فائرنگ کا سلسلہ شروع ہوجاتا ہے جس سے فائرنگ کی سمت کا اندازہ لگانا بھی مشکل ہوتا ہے اور ایسے میں ڈرون ٹیکنالوجی سمت کے تعین میں کافی مددگار ثابت ہوسکتی ہے۔

ایس ایس پی نے کہا کہ ہدف کی نشاندہی کے لیے ڈرون سب سے بہترین ٹیکنالوجی ہے اس کی مدد سے ڈاکوؤں کے فرار کو نا صرف ممکن بنایا جاسکتا ہے بلکہ غیر ضروری نقصان سے بھی بچاجاسکتا ہے جب کہ اس دوران ڈرون کیمرے کو فائرنگ سےبھی محفوظ رکھنا ضروری ہوگا۔ ایس ایس پی تنویر حسین کا کہنا تھا کہ پولیس نے اپنے تحت ڈرونز کی خریداری کی ہے اور ان کے استعمال اور نگرانی کے لیے ایک خصوصی گاڑی بھی تیار کرائی جارہی ہے۔

Sindh government gives approval for first building in Pakistan with its own low-cost hydroelectric power generation green technology

Render:

The plans have been vetted by Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA) Director-General Manzoor Qadir, who briefed the board with the project’s architect Akbar Jameel at Chief Minister House on Tuesday. “This will be the first building in Pakistan with its own hydroelectric power generation,” they said, adding that it would introduce an “innovative, low-cost power generation technology” to the city.

This green technology was clearly the star of the presentation and much impressed the chief minister. Indeed, they were talking about it with wonder at the SBCA a day later. One official said that Cogar International Energy Corporation makes the hydro-electric reactors which can produce electricity at less than one US cent per kilowatt hour. “It uses only air to create electricity,” says the company website. “Air goes into the system and only air comes out of the power plant, back into the atmosphere.” No fuel is needed. The builder plans to install two units, claimed an SBCA official.


CM Qaim Ali Shah wanted more information. “If found feasible, we can apply the same technology to high-consumption government installations, such as the Karachi Water & Sewerage Board,” he was reported as saying at the meeting. “We can even use this technology in Thar.”


Aside from the reactor, the building will tackle its own sewage to the extent that it will have a wastewater treatment plant and a reverse-osmosis plant for other supplies. Its more creative elements are a funeral parlour, a senior citizens lounge and a helipad.

The next phase for high density development will focus on Tariq Road, Sharae Faisal and Rashid Minhas Road.

Sindh govt to set up 50MW power plant at Nooriabad


KARACHI: The Sindh government has decided to set up a 50-megawatt power plant at Nooriabad which will be the first-ever power project to be executed by a province under public-private partnership, it emerged on Sunday.

Adviser to the Sindh chief minister on finance and energy Syed Murad Ali Shah told a recently held meeting of the Sindh cabinet at Chief Minister House that the project was conceived in 2012 but could not be materialised at that time due to ‘red-tapism and delays in regulatory approvals’, according to the minutes of the meeting reviewed by Dawn.

The adviser said that despite ‘financial constraints,’ the provincial government was committed to the launch of the project as it had already sought for it required undertakings from the National Bank of Pakistan and the Sindh Bank.

He lauded the professional contribution of the public-private partnership unit of the finance and energy departments that expedited the process and developed financial structure for the energy project.

In order to expedite work on the Nooriabad power project, the cabinet decided that the government would provide up to Rs6 billion guarantees and cash margin of Rs600m to the NBP for opening of ‘letters of credit’ for the procurement of machinery and equipment for the power project.

The meeting was informed that the Sindh Bank would undertake the repayment of debt of Rs2.805 billion in case of default of the project operators and the financial support provided by the government would cease when the power project achieved financial close.

The cabinet members underlined the importance of the energy sector and suggested that the Sindh government commit maximum resources for the development of this sector.

CM orders: new bus service will now cover Gulshan-e-Hadeed

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah has directed the provincial transport authority to ensure that certain number of buses of the first fleet of KMCPeople’s Bus Service on Quaidabad-Saddar route may be extended up to Gulshan -e-Hadeed/Steel Town.

He on the occasion also directed the concerned officials to bring the remaining 32 KMC People’s Buses on the road within four to six weeks’ time.

“Of this fleet of 32 KMC People’s Bus Service 18 must ply on Suhrab Goth - Saddar route and Surjani Town - Saddar route respectively,” said the chief minister.

Syed Qaim Ali Shah said those coming from interior Sindh through Super Highway needed to be facilitated at Suhrab Goth bus stand so as to reach different parts of the metropolis.

The chief minister on the occasion said the success of Peoples Bus Service could be gauged from the fact that people from different areas have started demanding for extension of its service.

He said that since Gulshan-e-Hadeed and Steel Town were the adjoining areas of Quaidabad as such this service could easily benefit the residents of these area therefore a certain number of these buses would ply from and up to Steel Mill from Tower via Quaidabad.

A new 235 bed Children and Cardiac hospital in SUIT to be ready by 2017

KARACHI:
Karachi will receive a new heart care and children’s health facility by 2017 with the inauguration of Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation’s (SIUT) Children and Cardiac Hospital on Friday.

The new hospital will cater to cases of urology, nephrology, transplantation and cardiology, and will be an additional facility at the SIUT. It is being built with the financial assistance of the Sindh government and other donors.

The 235-bed hospital located inside a 13-storey building will cost Rs2 billion and will take nearly two years to complete. It will also have a fully-functional laboratory.

The hospital building will be divided into different zones. The public zone will consist of accident and emergency, out-patients, and diagnostic imaging departments. The semi-public zones will have a renal dialysis unit, wards, operation theatres and other related facilities. A supportive paediatric environment has also been ensured in the proposed hospital building.

The top floor will accommodate academic activities, including seminar rooms and a day-care centre. The cardiac department will have regular emergency wards equipped with complete invasive and non-invasive facilities. It will also accept adults in view of the paucity of dedicated cardiac care for nephrology and nephrology patients. The hospital will run on the same principles as SIUT and will offer free treatment for all.

Currently, there are only two cardiac facilities in Karachi, the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases and the Karachi Institute of Heart Diseases. There are also only two hospitals dedicated to children, the National Institute of Child Health and the Sindh Government Children Hospital, North Nazimabad.
