Charity Concert for flood victims on Oct. 18
Islamabad – A group of young Pakistanis reaching out to the calls of help from flood-affected victims of Sindh province have initiated a campaign to raise funds for those who have nothing left in devastating natural disaster.
To extend a helping hand, a charity concert has been planned for coming Tuesday (Oct. 18) at Kuch Khaas , Islamabad at 7:30 pm. The artists who have volunteered to perform at the concert include: Arieb Azhar, Quratulain Baloch, Yasir & Jawad, Todd Shea.
Juvenile Dignitaries, a non-profit organization, Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS) and with Kuch Khaas and The Sonic Peacemakers have also joined hands for this noble cause.
"Help Us Help Them!" was the short and quick message by Naseem Khan Achakzai, founder of the Juvenile Dignitaries, a non-profit youth led organization. "We have not been able to pick ourselves from the last disaster and only a year later another calamity has hit us" regretted Naseem, adding that "it is vital that victims receive immediate help to provide the shelter to protect them, food and fresh water to keep the diseases at bay" and also help them to rebuild their lives when water subsides."
According to the sponsors of the concert, "with the generous donations we can help our brothers and sisters affected by this calamity." The concert is part of the flood relief efforts in Pakistan as the recent floods have affected 6 million people, damaging at least 80% of agricultural crops. At this crucial time, it is important to unite together and help those who need it desperately.

Power tariff hike leaves industry uncompetitive: Mohsin Aziz

Best practises suggested for achieving energy efficiency

ECMs announced by Government have failed earlier, revisit needed

 

 

Islamabad: [October 16]

Central Chairman of the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) Mohsin Aziz on Sunday said increase in the electricity charges will leave labour-intensive textile industry uncompetitive.

 

Negative industrial growth will result in reduced output, missed export and revenue collection targets and monumental unemployment, he warned.

 

Mohsin Aziz said that continuous upward revision in the tariff has not helped bring power generating companies back to profit, it hasn't reduced line losses or helped tackle circular debt which calls for some out of the box solution, he said.

 

Thirty six per cent hike in charges will not resolve power crisis but it will devastate masses and prove fatal for the textile industry which consumes around 30 per cent of the all electricity available, he observed.

 

Policy of punishing everyone will never pay dividends, he said adding that government should hike tariff in the regions where theft is common while the consumers of the area with little losses should be spared.

 

Chairman Aptma said that honest consumers deserve reward while dishonest merits punishment otherwise government will run risk of transforming reliable consumers into power stealers, he said while talking to Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the Pakistan Economy Watch.

 

He said we are in process of suggesting best practices to the government to which may result in certainty, reliability, savings, reduced costs and improved methodologies.

 

Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) announced by the federal government need to be revisited, Mohsin Aziz observed.

 

These steps have been announced earlier but haven't worked; it will be hard to implement as almost all the important trade leaders and chambers of the country have already challenged these decisions, he said.

 

At the occasion Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that improving bill collections by 300 billion rupees is too optimistic but possible if government is willing to penalise ministries and deduct outstanding bills from their allocations.

 

Improving governance in distribution and generation companies by inducting competent officials is something government has been avoiding since half a decade, he said.

 

He said that policy rate cut has been rendered irrelevant by the power tariff hike adding that ECMs should reduce consumption without adding to confusion and triggering protests.

 

The measures announced recently offered nothing new, it was just a repetition of the past blunders, said Dr. Mughal.

Insurance a good social welfare tool: Mian Shahid
Ethical practices by insurance companies, agents stressed
Dishonesty harmful for personal life, fatal in business

Islamabad: Oct 16
Chairman of the United International Group (UIG) Mian Shahid has said that
insurance is a good social welfare tool that can have a positive impact on
businesses and lives of millions.

Insurance if used properly can help people in hard times by transferring
their losses, he said.

Speaking at launching ceremony of UIG News, he said that insurance is
popular in west but it is yet to make inroads in the east for which the
insurance companies are partly responsible.

He said insurance can only be made popular when companies prefer interests
of customers over their own interests and spend part of their profit on
social uplift of the dispossessed.

Mian Shahid said that UIG has planned to launch a campaign to create
awareness among masses regarding different insurance schemes.

He said that insurance can become a respectable venture if ethics are
employed by the companies in an acceptable manner.

Ethics awareness programmes should be a continuous process across the
whole insurance industry, he stressed.

For the good of the society, we should embrace a value system comprising
honesty and respect for other person which must be the qualifying
parameters for any insurance professional.

"Without honesty, there is no chance of a successful business
relationship; dishonesty is destructive for personal life and it is
disastrous in business," he said.

There is no law against rudeness but no one would you continue to do
business with someone who is rude, he said adding that those who cheat
their customers fail soon.

Moral perfection can only be achieved through personal accountability and
discipline which seems to be unpleasant in the beginning but pay dividends
in the end.

Mian Shahid said that we have to go a long way as far as fair treatment of
competitors, full disclosure and faithful control over other people's
money is concerned.

A manager who lacks moral clarity should not expect it from subordinates;
he can transform good assistants into mercenaries, he said.

Govt actions contain extortion in Karachi

Industrialists pleased over reduced incidents of ransom

Gangs shouldn't reappear to jeopardise peace, economy

 

Islamabad: [October 15]

Bhatta collection which has remained part of the culture of Karachi since decades has largely been controlled due to government actions providing some peace of mind to the business community, industrialists said.

 

The practice of visiting businessmen for extortion has been arrested after the action by law enforcing agencies which has improved the overall environment, said Suhail Tabba and Chairman APTMA Sindh-Balochistan Region Yasin Siddike.

 

Talking to Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the Pakistan Economy Watch, they said that there will be no peace and prosperity in Pakistan unless crimes are curbed in Karachi, the main financial hub of the country.

 

Law and order is the biggest problems which can be only resolved if government has zero tolerance policy towards law-breakings, they said.

 

Extortion was a profitable business in which some elements were making billions at the cost of business community which is already reeling under energy shortages, they added.

 

The extortionists should not be allowed to reappear on the scene as the state is duty bound to protect the life and property of its citizens in accordance with law, Tabba and Siddike demanded.

 

At the occasion, Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that it will be difficult for the political parties to purge themselves of criminal elements which is evident from their statements.

 

He said that working of law enforcing agencies needs to be improved as their failure pushes many businessmen to pay protection money.

 

He said that businesses should be encouraged to provide the names the people and parties demanding protection money.

 

People involved in ransom, abduction and exaction should be stamped out through indiscriminate action so that people feel comfortable again, Dr. Murtaza Mughal demanded.
