تخت لاہور کا ٣٠ سالہ قبضہ مکمل ھو گیا
یہ لوگ جمہوریت کا راگ دن رات الاپتے ہیں ، مگر جمہوریت سے انکا کوئی لینا دینا نہیں
خیبر پختونخوا کو حکومت کرتے صرف صرف ایک سالہ کا ارسا ہوا ھے اور انکا کوئی تجربہ بھی نہی پھر بھی پاکستان تحریک انصاف کی حکومت نے لوکل الیکشن کے لئے قانون سازی اور دوسرے کام مکمل کر لئے ہیں . بلاخر انکی گھر کی عدالتوں نے پنجاب اور سندھ کو قانون سازی کا حکم دیا ھے

Sunny side up: K-P Directorate of Science unveils solar-powered rickshaw
The three-wheele*r, comple*ted at Rs 0.28m, was rolled indoor*s when rain washed away demo plan

PESHAWAR: In a city which hovers at the top of the list of the most air pollution in the world, the idea of a ‘green rickshaw’ is not about the colour of the three-wheeler but about a vehicle that runs on clean energy.
The Directorate of Science and Technology (DoST) introduced a solar-powered rickshaw on Tuesday, at the CECOS University. Muhammad Hilal Khan, an engineer at the university, had supervised the project. The Rs280,000 project is meant to be implemented across the city by the transport department.
At the moment, according to those involved in the project, the sun-friendly vehicle is still being tweaked before it can ride the busy streets of the city, but has been completed nonetheless. Deputy Director Inamullah Khan of the Design Facilitation and Training Centre which is working on hybrid technologies under DoST said, “The key objective of the project is to identify technological needs, foster innovation and facilitate the development and the implementation of new technologies.”
The deputy director shared the rickshaw will run on solar energy during the day and on rechargeable batteries at night. The solar-powered rickshaw can operate as long as there is daylight without discharging and on a fully-charged battery, the vehicle can operate for six to eight hours, said Inamullah.
The rickshaw can seat three to four people and can go as fast as 40 to 45 kilometres per hour.
“This will save fuel/CNG and is more economical than the regular rickshaw,” said Inamullah. “This is an indigenously-developed low cost transportation vehicle with zero carbon emission; useful in both urban and rural areas in the province,” he added.
Grey skies
In 2014, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Peshawar was one of the most polluted cities in the world.
According to data provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in K-P, the average increase in sulphur dioxide emissions across sectors with major emissions (industry, transport and power) has been 23 fold over the past 20 years. Similarly, carbon emissions have increased at an average fourfold.
Estimates provided by one of the rickshaw unions reveal more than 50,000 registered and unregistered rickshaws ply the streets of the city. Most of these vehicles run on a two-stroke engine, which is considered to contribute significantly to air pollution. Four-stroke engines also contribute to air and noise pollution, however, rickshaw drivers are not as concerned about carbon emissions as they are about making ends meet. “We can’t reduce smoke levels without jamming the rickshaw,” said Saifullah, a two-stroke rickshaw driver.
Ye of little faith
The Express Tribune learnt while speaking to various rickshaw drivers that the transporters had little faith in these “new-fangled vehicles”. One rickshaw driver said, “What are we expected to do at night, the battery charge will not be enough for any of us who work the night shift, ferrying passengers around.”
The battery will at most last three hours before the driver and his passengers will be stranded, he added, not believing the directorate’s claims that the battery charge could last double that time. Many people who do other jobs in the day add to their living by working as rickshaw drivers at night.
According to another rickshaw driver, “This invention is pure nonsense; it will never work.” He added, “They started one in Karachi and that failed; these contraptions will never last in Peshawar.”
No mercy
In fact, similar solar-powered rickshaws have been developed earlier in both Lahore and Karachi. Both teams suggested their rickshaws could be produced at Rs230,00 and Rs150,000 respectively and will yield similar speed as the one in Peshawar.
The team in Karachi went as far as suggesting their vehicle would only have a Rs1 per kilometre cost. This in itself suggested a conflict of interest as the rates charged by rickshaws across the country are not uniformly measured by metres. Every driver charges his own rates and when fuel prices go up or CNG is short in the city, rickshaw drivers see a reason to artificially inflate prices.

On Tuesday, the rickshaw demonstration was meant to be held outdoors, however, rain forced the organisers to take the unveiling indoors. This last minute change in plans begged the question; can a rickshaw which is so sensitive to the elements survive in the city?

KP Govt has today asked the Supreme Court for directing local body elections in the province at earliest.
I am happy to hear the statement of KPK Govt in Supreme Court that KPK is ready for Local body Elections. KP is the only province that has fulfilled the demands of Supreme Court regarding local body elections. You will see the difference in Local body elections of KPK and Other Province. We will spread the power to the lowest level so that people can use the funds according to their requirements: Imran Khan (14 October, 2014)

Uncertain future: Local Government Bill 2014 yet to reach G-B’s governor office
GILGIT: As the tenure of the Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) government draws to a close, the fate of the Local Government Bill 2014 hangs in the balance.
The bill was passed unanimously by the G-B legislative assembly on August 18, but has yet to reach the governor’s office where it will be signed by the governor and made into a law.
“The bill hasn’t yet reached us,” an official at the governor’s office confirmed on Wednesday.
“However, the governor will immediately approve the bill whenever it is brought to him,” he added.
Excessive delays in the bill reaching the governor’s office serve a cause for concern. On December 13, an interim government will seize the reins until elections bring in new rule. Since the countdown has already started, the bill is likely to be forgotten or ignored.
“This is a critical phase for the government and it shouldn’t let the progress it has made on the bill go to waste,” said Sajid Iqbal, a civil society activist.
The bill was prepared after consultations with stakeholders in Gilgit, Skardu and Islamabad by Gilgit-Baltistan Police Institute (GBPI), a not-for-profit organisation.
According to legal experts, if the bill is not endorsed by the governor during his tenure, the interim government and its successor may put the bill on the backburner.
“There is no guarantee of the future of the bill if it doesn’t get through this time,” said Advocate Jamal.
Under deliberation
According to information shared by lawmakers with The Express Tribune, the bill is pending with the G-B law department where ‘it is being vetted by officials.’
“I cannot understand why the bill is being vetted by the law department once it is passed by the assembly. This should have been done before it was tabled in the house,” said a lawmaker requesting anonymity.
However, Law Minister Ali Madad Sher has expressed optimism about the completion of the process. “The assembly has performed its task and I am sure the bill will be signed by the governor soon,” Sher told The Express Tribune.

[h=1]Awareness session: Businessmen urged to use Right to Information law[/h]
Chief Information Commissioner Sahibzada Khalid addresses RTI awareness session at KPCCI. PHOTO: EXPRESS
PESHAWAR: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Right to Information Commission has started visiting government departments to check if they are making their records available for citizens as required to do so under the RTI Act, said Information Commissioner Kalimullah on Wednesday.
Addressing an RTI awareness session organised for businessmen and industrialists at the K-P Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KPCCI) office, Kalimullah said the commission has already visited the local government, irrigation and communication and works departments and asked the relevant officers to abide by the RTI law.
According to Kalimullah, the commission would continue its supervisory visits to keep a check on what government departments are doing to proactively publish their records.
In his address, Chief Information Commissioner Sahibzada Muhammad Khalid urged businessmen to make use of the law and benefit from it.
According to Khalid, citizens are utilising the RTI law to ensure transparency in government contracts as well as institutions. “The commission has so far received 148 complaint requests, out of which 74 have been disposed of during the stipulated time,” said Khalid.
He added the law would soon be extended to the Provincially Administered Tribal Areas.
Citing an example of the transparency brought by the law in official business, RTI Commissioner Abdul Mateen said a citizen filed a request wanting to know about the Chief Minister Secretariat’s use of official helicopters. He added the citizen was provided the relevant details including the trip’s cost and the name of the person who was paid a visit.
“The RTI law is opening those files in government departments which have remained out of citizens’ reach,” added Mateen.
Appreciating the commission’s efforts, KPCCI President Fawad Ishaq said the business community would avail the law. He added corruption and malpractices have now become easier to detect with the RTI law in place.
