to add 17,000MW power to national grid.....


Various energy sector projects being set up under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will contribute over 17,000 megawatts of energy to the national grid on completion, a top-level huddle was told on Tuesday.

“CPEC would significantly help towards ensuring inclusive development especially the socio-economic development of the less-developed areas of the country,” said a statement issued by the Prime Minister Office after a weekly federal cabinet meeting presided over by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.

The cabinet was given a detailed presentation on the CPEC including various projects being undertaken in energy sector, infrastructure, industrial cooperation and development of Gwadar. The statement, however, did not give details of these projects and the timeframe for their completion.

CPEC to boost demand of expert interpreters: Chinese language

“It was informed that the energy sector and infrastructure development constituted the major areas under the first phase of CPEC—CPEC project would help increasing GDP [gross domestic product] growth and would strengthen various sectors of the economy.”

Official sources who attended the meeting said PM Abbasi, who is expected to visit China soon, will sign a related memorandum of understanding with the Chinese authorities for initiating energy projects under the CPEC on the sidelines of a key regional moot.

Presently, the federal government claims to have ended load shedding in Pakistan with the production of ‘surplus’ electricity but prolonged power outages after the advent of summer season have put to a question mark over these claims.

In a related development, Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Yao Jing also called on PM Abbasi before the cabinet’s Tuesday huddle. The PM’s upcoming visit to China for participation in the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) and issues of mutual interest were discussed in the meeting, a PM Office statement said.

The forum will be held in China’s southern island province of Hainan from April 8 to 11.

Other decisions

The cabinet approved Prevention of Smuggling of Migrant Ordinance, 2018. The ordinance aims at curbing the smuggling of Pakistani nationals to foreign countries and that of foreigners to Pakistan.

In the light of existing constitutional provisions, an ordinance, which is promulgated by the president of Pakistan, remains in effect for 120 days and can be extended for one time for as many days (120 days) before it lapses permanently and requires parliamentary legislation in order to be become a law.

Annual Report and Audited Financial Statement of Audit Oversight Board for the Year, 2017 was presented before the cabinet.

The cabinet approved signing of seven memorandums of understanding with various countries aimed at enhancement of economic and strategic cooperation and carrying out a feasibility study of a project. It also assented to ceilings for allocation of grants-in-aid to bar councils and bar associations for 2017-18.

Five more CPEC power projects to get special treatment

The cabinet approved appointment of the Utility Stores Corporation managing director. A proposal to grant additional charge of the post of the Port Qasim Authority Karachi chairman to the Ports and Shipping director general was also approved.

It also approved a summary regarding rationalisation of the prices of computerised national identity cards (CNIC) and national identity cards for overseas Pakistanis (NICOP).

, Sheikh Anser Aziz has said that Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI) is working on a project to launch electric buses in the city to provide modern transport facilities to the population residing in the rural and urban areas of the Federal capital.

The Mayor Islamabad expressed these views while chairing a meeting here on Sunday. The meeting discussed different options and suggestions for ensuring better transport facilities in the city.

Sheikh Anser Aziz directed the concerned formation to work on electrically operated buses instead of diesel or petrol driven buses so that not only green character and natural beauty of the city could be protected but environmental pollution could also averted.

He said that population of Islamabad has been increased by two (02) million and in order to cater future transport requirements in the city, environment friendly and cost effective electric bus service would be launched.

The Mayor of Islamabad said that initially there is a proposal of constructing terminal for these buses at Rawat, Kashmir Highway, Tarramri Chowk, Golara Chowk, Pirwadahi and Bhara Kahu, however, more terminals would be also constructed as per need and requirement.

He said that under this project, it is being considered that these buses may be run on different routs including from Rawat to Faisal Mosque via Islamabad Expressway, from Bhara Kahu to Margalla Avenue via 7th Avenue, from Pirwadhai to IJP Metro Bus Station, from Nelor to Khanna Interchange, from Taramrri Chowk to Aabpara and from Golara Chowk to Kashmir Highway (Chaman Metro Bus Station).

Sheikh Anser Aziz said that cost estimation of the project and other formalities are being finalized and proposals of renowned firms are being evaluated so that residents of the city could be provided this facility at the earliest.
