Private schools to no longer pay commercial power tariff
Karachi: Private schools of the city will no longer pay the commercial electricity
tariff, as per a recent ruling by the National Electric Power Regulatory
Authority (NEPRA). "The move is expected to reduce
running costs of schools across Karachi and we are hopeful that the
schools will pass on the advantage to parents by cutting down tuition
fees," said Sharf-uz-Zaman, chairperson of the Private Schools
Management Association (PSMA), at a press conference on Monday. According
to information shared at the presser, there are 17,000 private schools
in the city, of which, around 8,000 are registered under the directorate
of private education. The change from commercial to domestic tariff
will be applicable for the registered schools only. It
was in 1988 when, without any prior intimation, a decision to charge all
private schools of the country under the commercial head was announced.
A petition was filed at the time and finally, after nearly 25 years, a
decision has been made in the private schools' favour. "We
thank the Karachi Electric Supply Company for supporting us," said
Zaman, adding that the association is expecting more private schools to
register with the directorate to avail this advantage. "In
the absence of sufficient government schools, especially in far-flung
and violence-ridden area, these small private schools are rendering a
great service by educating underprivileged children who would otherwise
have remained illiterate," he said.

Two KU students shot dead near varsity gate
Karachi: Two students of the University of Karachi were gunned down near Maskan
Chowrangi, a few metres away from the varsity's IBA gate, in
Gulshan-e-Iqbal on Friday evening. The two were identified as Shadab Hussain and Hamza Naushad, both 27 years old. Hussain, a resident of Ancholi, was studying mass communication while Naushad was enrolled in the economics department. SSP
East Pir Muhammad Shah said that the two friends had exited
the university using its IBA gate and were walking near Maskan Chowrangi
when two men riding a motorcycle fired gunshots at them. The two men suffered multiple bullet wounds and were shifted to the nearby Patel Hospital where they expired. Their bodies were later shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. "We are probing the possibility of the dual murder being sectarian in nature," the SSP said. Hussain was the grandson of the pesh imam of the Khair-ul-Amal Imambargah, Ghulam Ali Waziri. The other victim, however, was Sunni. "Therefore, we are investigating other angles too." Dr
Abdul Haq, the additional police surgeon at the Abbasi Shaheed
Hospital, said Hussain had suffered two bullets to the chest while Hamza
was shot in the face. Prof Khalid Iraqi, the KU security
in-charge who visited the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, said the family and
friends of the two victims staged a protest against the law enforcement
agencies for their failure to prevent the killing of their loved ones. The
Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen and the Shia Ulema Council condemned the
murder of the two students and demanded that the authorities should
arrest the killers immediately. "Yet another precious life
has been lost in this spate of target killings," the spokesperson for
the Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen said. "We want the authorities concerned to take concrete steps for bringing the killing of Shia community members to an end." In
a statement, the Shia Ulema Council also urged the authorities to take
action against those responsible for the killing of Shia community
members. The council said that the killings were meant to provoke
sectarian hatred and incite Muslims to fight each other, thereby
destabilising the country. It said anti-state elements should not be allowed to succeed in their nefarious designs. The
dual murder comes a day after eight people were gunned down in
different gun attacks in Karachi. It has been three months since the law
enforcement agencies launched a crackdown on criminals in the city and
arrested several alleged target killers, extortionists and others
involved in heinous crimes. But the menace of target killings continues
to plague the city. The news

Balochistan University students, teachers in dire straits
Islamabad: About 1,600 employees of the University of Balochistan (UOB) have
decided to start begging on the streets of Quetta to grab the attention
of the 'concerned' quarters. According to sources, the
largest public sector university is facing threat of closure in the
absence of immediate attention by the federal government and the Higher
Education Commission (HEC). As a last resort, the
professors of the university have decided to carry begging bowls to the
Governor's House, Chief Minister's Secretariat and other key areas of
the city to generate funds for the institution. "We are
launching the begging bowl campaign from Tuesday to seek public support
for our struggling university," President of Academic Staff Association
of UOB Dr Hakimullah said. He said 465 university
teachers and 1200 employees are taking to the streets as they are not
getting complete salaries for last six months. "Hundreds of students who
have gone on scholarships abroad are also facing extreme difficulties
as they are not being paid their stipends in time," he said. Surprisingly,
the HEC Acting Chairman Syed Imtiaz Hussain Gilani is completely
unaware of the situation. "I have no information about the financial
crisis in the university," Gilani said that when asked about the
protest by UOB teachers and staff. He said the higher education
institutions are facing financial problems but he is not aware of dire
shortage of funds in UOB. When contacted, Vice Chancellor
of the University Professor Dr Abdullah Khan said the university is
facing financial problems and the Higher Education Commission and
federal government have been informed about the crisis. "I
have told the HEC chairman about the issue and it is hoped that the
issue will be resolved," he said adding that some funds have been
arranged by HEC and Governor Balochistan for one-time payment of
salaries to the staff. However, Dr Abdullah criticized the
university teachers for their strong protest and called for resumption
of classes and academic activities in the university. "The protestors
are wasting precious time of the 14,000 students who have to appear for
examinations within next few weeks," he said. According to
HEC sources, several other universities of the province are also hit by
severe funds shortage but so far the management of the commission has
failed to resolve the issue as the government has failed to appoint a
permanent chairman of the commission. Three months ago,
the commission had formed a Task Force on Balochistan on the proposal of
Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik Baloch to resolve all issues related to
the universities in the province. The task force was headed by the
Chairman HEC Dr Javaid Leghari. However there has been no further
progress over the issue so far and even a single visit of HEC Special
Task Force to the province could not be arranged by the ad hoc
management of the commission. The news
