A government building and a road will be named in honor of Dr. A.Q. Khan. The federal government has authorized the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to name key government buildings and roads after Dr. A.Q. Khan, Pakistan’s nuclear program creator.
According to Interior Ministry sources, the ministry authorized the CDA to name a prominent government structure after the late nuclear physicist via a letter dated October 22. Separately, the government requested that CDA name a street after Dr. A.Q. Khan.
Dr. A.Q. Khan, 85, who died recently in Islamabad, was a national hero. He was given a grand funeral at Faisal Mosque, followed by burial in the H-8 graveyard.
According to sources, several options have been considered, and the CDA will shortly select which building and road will be named after Dr. A.Q. Khan.
Government officials stated that the CDA would submit recommendations that would be finalized by the federal government, adding that significant government buildings such as the Kohsar Complex on Constitution Avenue might bear the scientist’s name.
They added that a service road in E-7, near the former residence, and a road in sector F-10 are also being considered for naming after the late nuclear physicist.
Dr. A.Q Khan was born in 1936 in Bhopal, India, and came to Pakistan with his family in 1947, following partition. He earned a science degree from Karachi University in 1960 and then pursued additional studies in metallurgical engineering in Berlin and the Netherlands, and Belgium. Following the 1971 war and India’s second nuclear test in 1974, he joined Pakistan’s attempts to produce nuclear energy. He formed the Dr. A.Q. Khan Research Laboratories in 1976 with the financial backing of then-Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Finally, Pakistan successfully conducted nuclear tests in 1998, ensuring the country’s defenses were unbeatable.

Law enforcement in the Nasla Tower case has heightened the sense of injustice. THE last act in the struggle over Karachi’s 15-story Nasla Tower has begun. The Supreme Court ordered on Monday that the structure be abandoned by today and demolished by controlled explosion within a week; considering that the Sindh government admits it lacks the skills for such an operation, there are legitimate safety concerns.
A three-judge apex court bench determined that a substantial portion of Nasla Tower had been built on encroached land intended for a service road and ordered its demolition. Last month, the building’s fate was sealed when the court denied the owners/builders’ review petition and told the residents one month to vacate. To summarise will bury many residents’ hopes of owning a home beneath the debris of the Nasla Tower.
Addressing the widespread land-use inconsistencies that exist throughout Karachi — encroachments on amenity plots, unauthorized allotments, and unlawful construction, to name a few — is an admirable endeavor. For several years, the priceless real estate in Pakistan’s financial metropolis has been transformed into a stage for brazen racketeering. Numerous government officials and unscrupulous builders have flouted regulatory restrictions, conspiring to earn unlawful profits and deprive state coffers of the necessary money. Law enforcement in the Nasla Tower case has heightened the sense of injustice.
However, one cannot disregard the human pain that frequently arises from attempting to rectify decades-old wrongs. On Monday, this point was also made when the Supreme Court expressed disappointment with the Sindh government’s slow progress in rehabilitating thousands of people displaced by demolitions along with the Gujjar, Orangi Town, and Mehmoodabad nullahs. Additionally, the sense of injustice is heightened when the writ of the law appears to be selectively applied. Law enforcement in the Nasla Tower case has heightened the sense of injustice. At the same time, some offenders operate with impunity in defiance of the top court’s orders.
Consider that most encroachment clearance has occurred on land governed by the Sindh government. Structures illegally constructed in cantonment zones continue to stand despite demolishing orders dating back to August 2018. The authorities are responsible for enabling the encroachment on public places through electricity and gas connections should be held accountable and sanctioned. And this accountability must be uniformly applied throughout Karachi so that the city’s numerous land-owning agencies understand that their ‘institutional clout’ will not protect them.

Vehicle traffic between Quetta and Chaman was interrupted on Monday due to a blockade of the Quetta-Chaman highway at Khojak Pass by members of the All Parties Traders Alliance and border workers protesting the closure of the border crossing for the last 20 days.
After three days of rallies in Chaman, they finally stopped the highway by creating barricades and depositing massive boulders at the top of the Khojak Pass, which connects Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“We will continue to blockade the highway until the Chaman border crossing is reopened,” Sadiq Achakzai, president of the All Parties Traders Alliance.
“Every day, the authorities involved assure us that they will reopen the border today or tomorrow,” he explained.
Mr Achakzai stated that thousands of people had been rendered jobless and were struggling to feed their families due to the border shutdown.
He stated that thousands of Pakistanis and Afghans were trapped on both sides of the border, awaiting the border’s reopening.
The Chaman border crossing, the second-largest commercial crossing point between the two countries after Torkham in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, connects to Spin Boldak in the Afghan province of Kandahar. Thousands of labourers and traders from both countries use the crossing daily.
The Taliban leadership blocked the border without notifying Pakistani border authorities 20 days ago. They request that Afghans be allowed to enter Pakistan with only their Afghan ID cards rather than presenting other travel credentials. Protesting traders close the Quetta-Chaman highway.
At least four talks between Pakistani and Afghan border officials to discuss the issue failed. Additionally, Kandahar Governor Yousaf Wafa.
He attended one of Spin Boldak, but he stated that Pakistan should speak with Kabul about reopening the border, as he lacked the jurisdiction to do so.
However, sources reported that both sides’ gates were unlocked on Sunday night, allowing those who had been stranded on both sides of the border for more than two weeks to cross into their respective countries.
“Patients and other individuals crossed the border with the authorization of border officials,” a border official stated. Protesting traders close the Quetta-Chaman highway.
Hundreds of trucks and other commercial vehicles have become stranded on both sides of the border.

When it came to the allocation of plots, consulted the SC. The Supreme Court has been contacted by various serving and former government officials challenging the Islamabad High Court’s (IHC) restraining orders on allocating plots to judges, bureaucrats, and government employees through balloting in the capital’s F-14 and 15 sectors.
Several serving and retired federal government employees have filed two petitions against the IHC’s August 20 and September 13 judgments, pleading with the supreme court to enjoin the IHC from passing similar orders against the petitioners.
The petitioners assert that they are allottees of plots/land in subject sectors F14-F15 Islamabad and have long deposited the required amount with the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) instead of their assigned plots.
Additionally, it is contended that the issue of whether could have acquired the land for the FGEHA was not the subject of the writ petition. In contrast, the impugned order dated Sept 13, 2021 stated otherwise and went beyond their prayers, even though it was not the issue that was raised or agitated before the IHC.
“The petitioners have suffered irreparable harm as a result of the impugned judgement dated Sept 13 issued by the learned division bench of the IHC being illegal.”
The petition stated that before 2009, FGEHA offered housing to employees for specific schemes based on their age and seniority in government service (Scheme Specific Drives). When a new scheme was launched, respondent no 1 (FGEHA) would advertise a membership drive for the new system, and employees were assigned housing within that scheme based on their age and seniority in government service (Scheme Specific Drives) (age-wise seniority).
The petition stated that because the IHC’s exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 199 of the Constitution extends beyond the grievance of an aggrieved party or individual, it amounts to suo motu jurisdiction, which a high court lacks.
