    300 children die daily due to poor healthcare: Mus…

    Federal Health Minister Mustafa Kamal has said that nearly 300 children die every day in Pakistan because of inadequate healthcare facilities, stressing the need for urgent reforms and greater investment in the country’s health sector. Speaking at a ceremony held at a private hospital in Karachi, the health minister said Pakistan is moving in the right direction but acknowledged that significant challenges remain in improving healthcare services across the country. Mustafa Kamal said the nursing curriculum must be updated to meet modern healthcare standards and international requirements. He added that strengthening the skills of healthcare professionals is essential to improving the quality of medical services. Highlighting demographic challenges, the minister said Pakistan’s population is growing at an annual rate of 2.55 percent, placing increasing pressure on education, healthcare and other public services. He noted that the rapidly expanding population has left millions of children without access to education. The minister said the government’s primary focus is to prevent diseases through vaccination and public awareness rather than relying solely on treatment. He added that Pakistan spends millions of dollars every year on vaccination programmes and warned that the cost could rise to $1.2 billion by 2030 if current trends continue. Mustafa Kamal said a lack of public awareness remains one of the biggest obstacles to successful immunisation campaigns. He noted that vaccination teams often face resistance, with some families refusing to cooperate by not allowing health workers into their homes. He said the government is working to improve awareness about the importance of vaccines and strengthen preventive healthcare programmes to reduce the burden of infectious diseases. The health minister also announced that the government is expected to sign agreements within the next few weeks to begin local vaccine production. He expressed hope that Pakistan would start manufacturing vaccines domestically before 2030, reducing dependence on imports and strengthening the country’s public health system.

    PM Shehbaz orders audit of Discos’ billing s…

    ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed a comprehensive technical audit of the billing systems of electricity distribution companies (Discos), reaffirming that reforming Pakistan’s power sector remains one of the government’s top priorities. Chairing a high-level meeting on the performance of the Power Division, the prime minister acknowledged that distribution companies had shown noticeable improvement but stressed that further reforms were essential to enhance efficiency and service delivery. He described the nationwide installation of smart electricity meters as a key step toward modernising the sector and improving transparency. Shehbaz Sharif also called for strict action against electricity theft, instructing authorities to strengthen enforcement mechanisms at every level. He ordered the Power Division to establish clear performance benchmarks for distribution companies, supported by measurable targets and specific implementation timelines. To encourage better performance, the prime minister announced that the country’s best-performing distribution company would receive formal recognition and awards, promoting healthy competition among power utilities. Addressing the issue of prolonged electricity shortages in rural areas, he directed officials to prepare village-level solarisation projects, saying decentralised solar energy systems could reduce pressure on the national electricity grid while improving access to reliable power. During the meeting, officials informed the prime minister that technical and commercial losses across distribution companies had continued to decline. Islamabad, Lahore and Gujranwala electricity companies recorded the lowest transmission and distribution losses during the last fiscal year, while power utilities in Islamabad, Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad and Multan achieved full recovery of billed electricity dues in the 2025–26 fiscal year. The meeting was also told that specialised Disco Support Units have been established in Hyderabad, Sukkur, Lahore, Multan and Hazara to combat electricity theft, improve bill recovery and resolve technical challenges more effectively. Officials further briefed the prime minister that the first phase of the Asset Performance Management System (APMS) at the transformer level is expected to be completed by the end of September. The system is designed to improve monitoring of transformers, helping reduce both power theft and load-shedding. In addition, the government is considering the installation of 16.2 million Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) single-phase smart meters across the Multan, Lahore, Peshawar, Hazara and Quetta regions as part of its broader strategy to modernise Pakistan’s electricity distribution network.

    Thousands of former Pak PWD employees still await salaries as Committee slams bureaucratic delay

    Islamabad: The Senate Standing Committee on Housing and Works erupted in frustration over massive delays in salary payments to former Pakistan Public Works Department (Pak PWD) employees, exposing systemic inefficiencies and administrative apathy across federal ministries. Despite being adjusted in various departments, thousands of workers remain unpaid, sparking fears of widespread exploitation and financial insecurity. Chairman Senator Nasir Mehmood openly criticized ministries for misleading assurances, stating that the Committee would not tolerate empty promises. Officials revealed that out of 20,024 former Pak PWD employees, only 3,094 had received salaries, while around 30 cases remained pending, including employees in the Ministry of Planning and Ministry of Religious Affairs. “These delays are unacceptable,” Senator Mehmood said, stressing that commitments made to the Committee must be implemented without further excuses. The Committee also took up the plight of contractual employees, highlighting that existing rules deny them pensions. While the Ministry of Housing and Works had submitted proposals for special consideration, no concrete action has been taken yet, leaving many workers in limbo. Senator Naseema Ehsan highlighted the plight of widows and families of deceased employees, urging immediate resolution to their pending cases. Beyond employee issues, the Committee reviewed stalled development projects, including the Green Enclave I Housing Project, which has faced prolonged delays due to litigation, NAB inquiries, land disputes, bank guarantees, COVID-19 impacts, and contractual complications. Despite partial resumption of work, allottees continue to suffer from financial and operational setbacks. Chairman Mehmood warned, “Thousands of citizens invested in good faith; they deserve timely delivery, not excuses.” The Committee directed contractor Dr. Hafeez Abbasi to appear in the next session to explain persistent delays and emphasized that all stakeholders must cooperate to complete projects promptly. Officials confirmed that new housing schemes are on hold until ongoing projects are completed, highlighting a major bottleneck in government housing delivery. Other projects under scrutiny included lift replacements at Shaheed-e-Millat Secretariat, which remain incomplete, and the Model Jail project, where only Phase-I is near completion, while Phase-II, including women’s facilities, is still pending. The Committee demanded an on-site inspection in August to ensure accountability and prevent further slippage. In a stern warning, Senator Mehmood urged all ministries and departments to implement recommendations immediately and submit detailed progress reports in the next meeting, signaling zero tolerance for bureaucratic inaction.
