Condemnations

The attack by terrorists on a police vehicle in Lakki Marwat has been sharply denounced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan.

The prime minister released a statement in which he expressed his deep grief at the murder of police officers in the shooting. As the incident was occurring, CM Mahmood Khan became aware of it and requested a report from the KP Inspector General of Police (IGP).

The CM KP declared that the perpetrators of this barbaric act would be apprehended by all means and that the martyrs’ sacrifice would not be in vain.

In addition to denouncing the attack, Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah sent his sympathies to the families of the victims. Five police officers had earlier died in a terrorist rocket strike in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area of Dera Ismail Khan (KPK).

Near Chowk Yadgar in the Kulachi city of Dera Ismail Khan, terrorists launched a rocket strike on a police vehicle. The rocket assault claimed the lives of five police officers, while deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Kulachi Fazal Subhan suffered grievous injuries.

Patrol authorities said the terrorists launched a rocket at a police van before turning to heavy gunfire. After the violent onslaught, the terrorists were able to escape the area, according to authorities.

IMF Staff Missions to visits Islamabad by month-end; dates pending.

The official said that one of the reasons the IMF has taken so long to send a staff-level missions dates is due to the political climate in the nation. He did admit that the IMF has been pushing for a higher tax-to-GDP ratio, though.

An official who wished to remain anonymous said that following the Tuesday meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance of the National Assembly, it was revealed that future revenue collection is anticipated to experience a decrease due to a decline in growth and variation of other economic variables as a result of the flooding, while expenditure is anticipated to rise.

The official said that daily video links are used for conversations with the IMF and that rumors of new levies being implemented at the IMF’s request are untrue.

Due to the continuous exchange of economic data, he predicted that the ninth review negotiations with the IMF will last for five days. The nation has asked the Fund for assistance or a relaxation of the budget deficit ceiling following the disastrous floods.

Dr. Aisha Ghaus Pasha Stated Earlier that the IMF Executive Board

According to the minister, the floods will cause around nine million additional people to fall below the poverty line.

The GDP growth has reduced by 2%, along with inflation and other economic variables, and Pakistan is anticipating worldwide financing for the restoration and rehabilitation of the flood victims, she continued. As a result, the economic framework and indicators need to be reviewed.

She said that the IMF was also given a briefing on the economic system as well as revenue and how it would be impacted by the slowdown in GDP growth brought on by the floods and their effects on other economic factors.

The meeting would have the last say on whether Pakistan’s request for a waiver would be granted or not during a briefing to the committee meeting led by Qaiser Ahmed Shaikh. The Executive Board would only receive reports from staff-level missions and make the ultimate decision.

9th IMF Review: Still Working On the Framework

The minister informed the committee that at the annual meeting of the WB and IMF in Washington, 54 significant meetings were held, including high-level talks with the IMF and the World Bank, the ADB, and other bilaterals.

She said that the ADB had also been asked to repurpose the monies for the repair and reconstruction of the flood-affected districts.”We told them about the harm done by the flooding condition in the nation and urged the international community to provide Pakistan with compensation.”

Sukkur: SHC Sukkur orders uninterrupted power supply to water station.

During the course of hearing petitions about the drainage of floodwater Sukkur and the aid of flood victims, the bench made orders to their disregard for the court’s directives, and the Chief Secretary for Sindh and the Secretary for Irrigation were sent with show cause notices.

They were required to put together and submit the floodwater drainage plan by the bench during a prior hearing. During the hearing, attorney Nisar Bhanbhro informed the court that the power load shedding period for SCARP tubewells and water discharge pumping stations has been increased.

Khairpur District

The Khairpur district administration had filed a fraudulent report with the court, advocate Shabbir Shar informed the bench. The attorney said, “In certain areas of the district, floodwater is still present in homes and on agricultural property.” “Water is still prevalent in several Saleh Patt locations, preventing wheat cultivation on agricultural grounds,” said a Nisar Bhanbhro supporter.

According to the court, “Action should be taken if someone is forcibly releasing water onto the lands.” Numerous regions of Sindh were swamped this year by unprecedented rains and flooding, leaving millions of people without a place to live.

Many residents of Sindh’s flood-affected areas have relocated to Karachi and Hyderabad. A sizable portion of the province’s territory was transformed into a massive lake of floodwater. Up to this point, a sizable portion of the province could not have its floodwaters drained out.
