A new Islamabad-Peshawar interchange is planned, says PM’s aide. They would soon build another business on the Islamabad-Peshawar motorway (M-1) to assist farmers in supplying agricultural products to markets. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam said Monday during Hazro and Hassanabdal.
The interchange would be located near the village of Haroon and would benefit not just the local populace but also farmers — particularly vegetable producers — in bringing their products to market. A new Islamabad-Peshawar interchange is planned, says PM’s aide.
The PM’s adviser alleged that the cancellation of the New Zealand cricket team’s tour to Pakistan resulted from “hidden hands.” “Under Prime Minister Imran Khan’s leadership, Pakistan’s image in the eyes of the world has significantly improved, particularly as a result of wise decisions regarding the Afghan issue,” he said, adding that the electronic voting machine (EVM) is a permanent technological solution to the menace of electoral rigging and maneuvering in elections.
He stated that all stakeholders should embrace this machine to enhance democracy’s transparency, noting that corrupt elements do not want this, which is why bad propaganda is being produced against it.
According to the PM’s adviser, a new Islamabad-Peshawar interchange is being planned.
For Rs60 million, 45 filtration plants are being installed in various towns and villages of NA-55, including Attock, Hazro, and Hasanabdal, he said, adding that a share of the hydropower profit from the Ghazi Barotha project will now be given to Attock district, and will supply gas to 35 villages in NA-56.
Classes at Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University (Attock campus) would commence this year, he said, adding that the university will offer admissions in BS Agriculture, BS Mathematics, BS Computer Science, and BS Economics. A new Islamabad-Peshawar interchange is planned, says PM’s aide.
This campus will be entirely supported by the public sector, which will be a boon for students from low-income households admitted based on merit. Once operational, the institution will be able to house over 30,000 students and offer employment possibilities on site. According to the PM’s adviser, a new Islamabad-Peshawar interchange is being planned.
Mr. Aslam continued, “The campus will feature foreign-trained Ph.D. faculty and state-of-the-art amenities, including student hostels.”
Additionally, he announced a Rs20 million development project for hamlet Haroon, including installing a filtration plant, re-carpeting the main road, and other civic amenities during the current fiscal year.
Later that year, he opened freshly rebuilt classrooms at local boys’ schools, which cost Rs3.3 million to finish. According to the Prime Minister, a new Islamabad-Peshawar interchange is in the works.
SC asks to examine demolition order near Karachi nullahs. According to a petition filed on Monday, the Supreme Court should convene a full court comprised of all existing judges to review its June 14 directive directing the Sindh government to clear both sides of Karachi’s Gujjar and Orangi nullahs of human settlements. This directive resulted in the displacement of over 50,000 people on both sides of the nullahs.
The request was made as part of a group of four similar applications, which counsel Faisal Siddiqui filed on behalf of an individual named Naimutallah Khan, the Pakistan Railway Employees Cooperative Housing Society, the management of Alladin Park, and several Karachi Development Authority officials, among others (KDA).
Applicants from across the country have petitioned Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed to consider forming a larger Supreme Court bench to hear their cases.
The Pakistan Railway Employees Cooperative Housing Society applied because the directive questioned the legality of a piece of land that the federal government had granted the society to build on.
The application argued that the Supreme Court had adjudicated on and upheld the legality of the applicant’s lease, title, and possession of railway land in a decision delivered on November 11, 1991. Therefore, the applicant was entitled to the benefit of that decision. SC asked to reconsider demolition order near Karachi nullahs.
‘Controversial and fundamental questions’
Specifically, the petition stated “fundamental and complex questions” of constitutional and legal significance at stake. One of the questions is: what were the jurisdictional and procedural parameters (scope, powers, limitations, rights, and duties) in exercising jurisdiction under Article 184 (3) of the Constitution? Another question is: what were the jurisdictional and procedural parameters (scope, powers, limitations, rights, and duties) in the exercise of jurisdiction under the Constitution?
Two questions remain: Is there any standard by which judges should organize their judicial discretion when deciding which cases of public importance involving the enforcement of fundamental rights under Article 184 are to be considered? (3). In the exercise of jurisdiction under Article 184(3), what are the parameters and rights of affected parties, as well as the extent of their due process rights, and what is the scope of the exercise of review jurisdiction under Article 188 of the Constitution?”
Thousands of houses and buildings have been demolished due to the June 14 order, displacing more than 50,000 people who have not received any immediate compensation or rehabilitation, according to the petition filed by Naimutallah Khan.
After the Gujjar and Orangi nullahs were cleaned, the Supreme Court ordered the construction of 30-foot-wide roads on both sides of the nullahs, approved by the Supreme Court earlier this year.
According to the petition, the court should overturn its June 14 order directing the Sindh government, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), and Karachi’s Administrator to ensure that all lands on both sides of the Gujjar and Orangi nullahs, along with the right of way, were cleared of mud and debris. SC asked to reconsider demolition order near Karachi nullahs.
A valid leaseholder’s petition to the Supreme Court asserted that the applicants named in the petition were legitimate leaseholders who had approached the apex court to ensure that they were treated fairly under the law.
The petition argued that the June 14 order was silent on whether the government could conduct demolitions to build roads on both sides of the Gujjar and Orangi nullahs, which the petition claimed violated the Constitution. SC asked to reconsider demolition order near Karachi nullahs.
The petition argued that the Supreme Court had not ordered the government to demolish any houses or buildings at the two locations in a decision issued on August 12, 2016, delivered on August 12, 2016.
They claimed that the court’s silence on the matter has allowed the authorities to proceed with demolitions without disclosing any plan compliant with the laws in force.
In light of the Constitution’s fundamental rights guaranteed by Articles 23 and 24, one could acquire no property through demolition to build a road, except for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act of 1894, passed in 1894.
In other words, the petition for judicial review argued that the June 14 order contains errors that are both obvious and floating on the surface of the record. SC asked to reconsider demolition order near Karachi nullahs.
The order, according to the petition, was based on presumptions that had not been proven. Concerning the clearance of land for both Gujjar and Orangi nullahs and their right of way, these “unverified presumptions” are a general order that makes no specific finding or determination as to the length and breadth of such nullahs and their right of way. SC asked to reconsider demolition order near Karachi nullahs.
This determination was critical because, without an accurate mapping of the dimensions of the two nullahs, it was impossible to issue a general order for the wholesale demolition of houses and buildings in the two nullahs.
To put it another way, only those structures could be demolished that were encroaching on the nullahs’ territory, according to the petition. SC asked to reconsider demolition order near Karachi nullahs.

The Chinese government will shortly begin partial payments. The government is anticipated to make partial payments from approximately $1.4 billion in payables in the coming days to allay the fears of Chinese enterprises investing in independent power producers (IPPs) and other projects.
“We are making every effort to clear at least some of the payments as soon as possible,” a senior government official told Dawn, adding that the payables of power producers working on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) had exceeded Rs230 billion (about $1.4 billion). Chinese investors had been lobbying against this at the highest levels of government. The Chinese government will soon begin making partial payments.
Meanwhile, despite comprehensive security cover given by the Pakistan Army, the Chinese contractors working on the Dasu Hydropower Project, which is not part of the CPEC, have not restarted construction activities they suspended more than two months ago following a terrorist attack.
The debts of power producers involved in CPEC have surpassed Rs230 billion.
They have, however, highlighted the subject of compensation claims for returning to work, which might be resolved through fair negotiations in existing channels. Still, construction work should begin immediately, a senior official said.
He noted that Chinese contractors had similarly ceased work on the Mohmand Dam following a similar incident but had resumed work following nearly a week of bilateral meetings.
“While payment is a concern, no business has yet issued a default notice following the terms of the Power Purchase Agreements,” an official said. He explained that dues have accumulated due to late payments. The government pledged to establish a revolving fund to automatically assure prompt clearance of rights to the IPPs under CPEC through consumer bill recovery, but this could not be implemented.
In answer to a question, he stated that there were no coal shortages at any of the three coal-fired power facilities — Hubco, Sahiwal, or Port Qasim — with a combined capacity of approximately 4,000MW. Furthermore, with 660MW, Thar Coal Power Project is entirely dependent on local coal and faces no supply constraints. The Chinese government will soon begin making partial payments.
According to the official, all coal-fired power plants were on a ‘high dispatch order’ due to their cheaper fuel costs. However, the government will continue to guarantee payment of fuel costs.
The issue is with capacity payments, on which the government has never defaulted on a loan. However, the sponsors’ expectation of a return on equity was legitimate, but due to various difficulties, they could not payments on time. The Chinese government will soon begin making partial payments.
According to officials, Khalid Mansoor, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on CPEC Affairs, has been liaising with the appropriate agencies to expedite some payments.
“The Chinese businesses have been tolerant, and there is no indication that we are about to default.”
In response to another query, the official stated that the two countries have close ties and have begun preliminary negotiations on re-profiling the debt component of CPEC’s IPPs.
“They avoid harsh measures or issuing notices in favor of resolving issues at the government level,” the official explained. “Arbitrations are worthless; collaborative connections are critical.”
Mr. Mansoor, who joined the government following the ouster of former CPEC Authority chief Asim Saleem Bajwa, told a parliamentary panel last week on the challenges confronting investors regarding compliance with agreements governing CPEC’s first phase’s electricity projects.
He stated that the difficulties included payments to IPPs, long-overdue dues, the introduction of a revolving account for automatic payments, and the increase in the withholding tax on sponsors’ earnings from 7.5pc to 25%.
He stated that the authorities were now considering establishing an Investment Facilitation Center to provide a single point of contact for all Chinese investors. He said that 135 Chinese businesses were functioning in Pakistan on CPEC and other projects, and the key goal was recovering the trust of people working on CPEC initiatives. The Chinese government will soon begin making partial payments.
Saleem Mandviwala, a former finance minister and current chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Planning, stated during a committee hearing that the Chinese were complaining that a showpiece CPEC project had been wrecked during the last three years, leaving many businesses unhappy.
However, Planning Minister Asad Umar later stated during a news conference that his government has completed a significant portion of the CPEC and that lawmakers should remain cautious while discussing important programs. The Chinese government will soon begin making partial payments.

Islamabad Municipal Corporation collects enhanced property tax. The Municipal Corporation of Islamabad (MCI) is organizing a 200 percent increase in property tax in defiance of a court order and without legal justification.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) set aside the notice of a 200 percent increase in property tax in the federal capital in December last year and asked the MCI to conduct a public hearing before declaring any increase in property tax.
The CDA and MCI both filed appeals, which remain ongoing before the IHC’s two-member division bench. The MCI, on the other hand, began collecting the additional tax without first obtaining approval from the IHC.
The IHC deemed the 200 percent increase in property tax unconstitutional, noting that “no tax proposals were issued, no objections were requested following Section 88(4) of the ICT Local Government Act, 2015, and no public hearings were held before the application of the property tax in Islamabad.”
IHC rescinded notification of the 200 percent increase in December of last year; appeals against the ruling are still pending. Islamabad Municipal Corporation collects enhanced property tax.
Subsequently, the court ruled that a new notification be issued within six months.
The court order stated: “MCI shall prepare the tax proposal and invite public comment via publication of notice in newspapers, following which a notification following Section 88 of the ICT Local Government Act, 2015 shall be issued following the law within six (06) months positively.”
However, because the local government was disbanded following the elected members’ five-year terms, the law could not be reviewed, according to Qazi Adil Aziz, a former legal counsel and chairman of UC-11, Islamabad.
On the other hand, the MCI distributed property bills to all residents and owners of residential and commercial properties earlier this month in compliance with the “invalid” notification on the letterhead of the CDA’s revenue directorate.
Khawar Ehsan, a resident of F-11, received a property tax bill of Rs98,100 for the fiscal year 2020-21. His most recent invoice for 2019-20 was Rs33,200.
Shahid Iqbal, a resident of G-9, claimed he was required to deposit moreover Rs50,000 for his eight-marla house, although he previously paid only Rs15,000 in property tax.
Advocate Raja Inam Ameen Minhas, who also got a 200 percent increase in property tax, called it unjustified, stating that citizens cannot be forced to pay such a high tax without any value added to the service.
Additionally, the IHC’s judgment stated that “the CDA lacks jurisdiction and authority to assess or collect property taxes in any form, as this is the only prerogative of the MCI under the ICT Local Government Act, 2015. As a result, any tax demand made by the CDA is illegitimate.”
However, the MCI is depositing all tax revenue in CDA accounts.
When contacted, a CDA official stated that the MCI was collecting the tax according to section 132 of the LG Act and remitting it to the CDA for debt servicing.
According to him, the CDA gave Rs20 billion to the MCI since the latter lacked the funds necessary to pay its employees’ wages and provide municipal services. Islamabad Municipal Corporation collects enhanced property tax
As a result, he explained, the CDA is not collecting taxes but is reclaiming the loan from the MCI.
Concerning collecting the 200 percent increase in property tax, the spokesman stated that they generated the invoices to understand that if the CDA’s appeals were denied, they would repay the additional sum to residents and property owners.
According to sources, since the federal cabinet shifted four directorates from the MCI to the CDA in October last year, the latter has had financial difficulties and has had to rely on tax collection.
Qazi Adil Aziz, the MCI’s former legal adviser, informed Dawn that the MCI owed a loan to the federal government. However, he stated that the municipal corporation could repay the debt as soon as it recovered taxes from citizens or generated revenue on its own.
He contended that the CDA could not recover the loan through tax collection, which is being conducted in defiance of a court order and an inappropriate manner.
The IHC reversed the notification of a 200 percent increase in property tax decisions involving nearly 30 identical petitions. The Islamabad Municipal Corporation levies a supplemental property tax.
The petitioners contended that the company abused its authority by approving a 200 percent increase and asked the court to reverse it. Islamabad Municipal Corporation collects enhanced property tax.
The MCI authorized the property tax hike in December 2019, making it effective on July 1, 2020. The revenue directorate was previously part of the CDA but was transferred to the MCI upon establishing a local government in 2016. The Islamabad Municipal Corporation levies a supplemental property tax.
After 32 years, college in Islamabad is still not functional. Despite 32 years, a college established in Mera Begwal near Bhara Kahu has never opened its doors to students, as successive governments have never made significant attempts to make it function. However, local PTI MNA Khurram Shahzad Nawaz is now attempting to rehabilitate the college.
Residents have petitioned Prime Minister Imran Khan to investigate the matter.
The college is on the outskirts of Islamabad and has seen only one change in the last 32 years: the repair of its building by a public sector university in 2013-14. Since then, the problem has remained unresolved.
Residents and officials stated that a polytechnic institute on Peshawar Road in Rawalpindi was shuttered in 1977 after becoming a frequent site of protests. According to officials, the former administration closed the college and transformed it into an EME college to end the ongoing protests on Peshawar Road.
According to the MNA, a letter has been sent to the education minister requesting that classes begin.
In 1985, the government established a new polytechnic college in Islamabad, and residents donated 232 Kanals to the cause.
Although construction of the structure was completed in 1989, the college has yet to be inaugurated.
Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) began classes there in 2013 and also invested millions of rupees in the building’s refurbishment. However, later, the AIOU chose to withdraw from the initiative, even though it had nothing to do with technical education.
A meeting was recently held to debate the college’s future. MNAs Khurram Shahzad Nawaz and Ali Nawaz Awan, Parliamentary Secretary Education Wajiha Qamar, and education department officials attended the meeting. After 32 years, college in Islamabad is still not functional
The participants stated that the structure would house both a technical and a model college. In addition, a part of the structure could also be used as a hospital facility.
According to sources, following the meeting, MNA Khurram Nawaz wrote a letter to Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood pleading with him to make the building operational. The letter, dated Sept 9, stated: “Your attention is invited to the restoration of the Mera Begwal building, which was constructed nearly 30 years ago to provide technical education to the community, but the building has remained abandoned, and the community’s hopes have been dashed.”
The statement conducted a meeting on August 31 to discuss the matter at the community’s request. As a result, the group voted to open the building as a degree completed a meeting and technical college for males according to the letter.
The Federal Directorate of Education would provide teaching and support staff, equipment, and minor building repairs and maintenance.
“Because the community gave 232 Kanals of land, would use the additional property to provide health services to the community. They will build a 200-bed hospital for this purpose.”
According to the letter, regular classes at the college will begin in March and August 2022.
“In this circumstance, please direct your team to speed the process of repairing and maintaining the facility, as well as completing other essential procedures, as quickly as possible, so that admissions can begin at the scheduled times,” the letter said.
On the other hand, a resident stated that previous attempts were made but were unsuccessful.
“The prime minister should pay attention to this matter. His lone order might bring the college back to life,” he explained. After 32 years, college in Islamabad is still not functional
The MNA stated that he had written a letter to the education minister declaring that he would rectify the matter that why college in Islamabad is still not functional

Chinese companies are irritated by the slow pace of work on CPEC. On Thursday, a Senate panel expressed concern about the slow pace of development on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the dissatisfaction expressed by Chinese companies with the corridor’s scant progress over the last three years.
Saleem Mandviwalla stated that the Chinese were dissatisfied with the pace of work on CPEC and that the portfolio had made no progress in the last three years. “They are in tears,” Mr Mandviwalla said, adding that the “Chinese ambassador has complained to me that you have destroyed CPEC and that nothing has been accomplished in the last three years.”
Special Assistant also endorsed Mr Mandviwalla to the Prime Minister on CPEC Affairs Khalid Mansoor. They stated that Chinese companies were dissatisfied with the government’s institutions and pace of work. He said that he was not happy with the progress of the Gwadar Airport project and assured the panel that things had stabilised.
Mr Mansoor, who joined the government following the ouster of former CPEC Authority chief Asim Saleem Bajwa, briefed the committee on the issues confronting investors regarding compliance with investment and agreement requirements for CPEC – Phase 1 Power Projects. These included payment issues with independent power producers (IPPs), long-overdue overdrafts, the establishment of a revolving account for automatic payments, and an increase to 25% from 7.5pc of sponsors’ post-investment dividends.
The adviser assures the Senate panel that the situation has stabilised.
He stated that the authorities now intend to establish an investment facilitation centre to provide a single point of contact for all Chinese investors. He said that 135 Chinese companies were operating in Pakistan on CPEC and other projects. The top priority now was to re-establish the confidence of those involved in the project.
They informed the committee that it had completed 21 projects totalling $15.7 billion. Ten of these were power projects totalling 5,320MW and a high-voltage direct current transmission line worth $9.6 billion, five infrastructure projects totalling $5.8 billion in the road, mass transit, and optical fibre, two projects totalling $300 million in Gwadar Port and Free Zone and City Master Plan, and four social-economic development projects totalling $140 million. Thirty-one projects worth $9.3 billion are currently being implemented, while 36 projects worth $28.4 billion are being considered.
Mr Mandviwalla expressed resentment that the Planning Ministry did not consider the committee’s proposals and recommendations for various development projects for inclusion in PSDP at the provincial and federal levels.
Asad Umar, Minister of Planning, stated that the National Economic Council gave final approval to the PSDP projects (NEC). “The NEC approval is final,” he added, noting that no project may be brought to the NEC after March 31 next year. The committee directed that relevant sections plan for the coming year to submit required federal and provincial projects to the planning ministry by February.
