Gross corruption in Civil Hospital alleged
A contractor providing services outsourced by the Civil Hospital Hyderabad has not paid his employees for over four months.
All Pakistan Clerks Association (APCA) Sindh General Secretary and Central Joint Secretary of the United Labour Federation, Ashraf Khan Bozai, has appealed the provincial health minister, chief secretary, health secretary, DG NAB, deputy director anti-corruption, and other high-ups to investigate the embezzlement of salaries of daily-wage employees of Civil Hospital Hyderabad, and the non-payment of their wages for four to five months.
Bozai stated that over 1,500 daily-wage workers are employed at the hospital under a contract system, but instead of receiving the government-approved salary of Rs37,000, they are paid Rs10,000 to Rs12,000.
He further mentioned that these workers are facing severe difficulties during the holy month of Ramazan for not getting their rightful wages. The firm responsible for their contracts also holds four other profitable contracts with the hospital, which should also be investigated.
The officials involved in the embezzlement should be terminated from their services.

Punjab govt outlaws tobacco-use in parks
Listen to article The Punjab government has declared all public parks across the province smoke-free zones, banning the use, sale, and promotion of tobacco and nicotine products under the federal anti-tobacco law. A notification issued by the provincial housing department extends the enforcement of the Prohibition of Smoking and Protection of Non-Smokers Health Ordinance, 2002, to recreational parks. The ordinance prohibits smoking in public spaces and restricts the sale and advertisement of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and vapes. Under the directive, all Parks and Horticulture Authorities (PHAs) in Punjab have been instructed to install 'No smoking' signage within 10 days and begin strict enforcement. Offenders can face fines of up to Rs1,000 for a first violation, with harsher penalties for repeat offences. Park staff are empowered to eject violators, and designated enforcement officers may pursue legal action under Section 12 of the ordinance. Kiosks, food outlets, and vending stalls within parks are now barred from selling cigarettes, vapes, or other tobacco-related products. The new policy targets both traditional and emerging nicotine products, aiming to curb use especially among minors and urban youth. Health officials referred to the potential of the move to reduce second-hand smoke exposure and discourage smoking in family-oriented spaces. 'This is a welcome initiative,' said Amina Tariq, a mother of two visiting the Jilani Park. 'Parks should offer a clean and safe environment, not only for recreation but for promoting healthy habits in our children.' According to experts, tobacco use is responsible for an estimated 164,000 deaths annually in the country and costs the national economy roughly Rs700 billion each year in healthcare expenditures and productivity losses. The industry contributed Rs298 billion in tax revenue last year. Pakistan ratified the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) in 2004. Despite this, implementation remains inconsistent, particularly regarding taxation, marketing restrictions, and regulation of newer products. There are no federal regulations governing e-cigarette use even as usage surges. A 2023 multi-city survey found that 43 per cent of urban youth reported current e-cigarette use, with many introduced through influencer campaigns lacking health warnings or age restrictions.

Fire-hit eye ward remains closed
The hospital ward, which was left a charred wreck, had been newly built for coronavirus patients. PHOTO: AFP More than a month has passed since a fire broke out in the Eye Ward of Khanewal District Hospital on June 10, yet the facility remains non-operational, leaving hundreds of patients without access to treatment and surgeries. Despite regular visits by the deputy commissioner, progress appears limited with little practical improvement on the ground. The hospital sources revealed that it would cost only around Rs50,000 to restore the ward. However, due to alleged negligence and inefficiency of the hospital's medical superintendent (MS), the matter remains unresolved. The ward caters to hundreds of patients each day, many of whom now face delays in eye surgeries and check-ups. Four ophthalmic surgeons - Dr Waqar, Dr Atta Rasool, Dr Sabiha and Dr Aamir Tirmizi - have been left without work in the interim. One of the doctors, speaking anonymously, stated that due to the inaction of the hospital and district administration, thousands of low-income patients have been forced to seek expensive treatments in the private sector. There are also allegations of malpractice involving the procurement of eye lenses. According to insider sources, some hospital doctors reportedly have these lenses stocked at private medical stores outside the hospital. Patients are allegedly instructed to buy them at inflated prices, which are then shared between store owners and certain medical staff. When the situation was highlighted, district officials appeared to respond, with increased visits and media coverage. Photographs of the deputy commissioner inspecting the ward have been sent to the media and the Punjab government by the district's information office. However, conflicting reports continue to emerge. When asked about the ward's current status, one doctor claimed it is fully operational, while another said it is ready for reopening and the deputy commissioner is scheduled to inaugurate it soon. Daily, the ward is said to receive over 100 patients, with hundreds of eye surgeries conducted weekly before the fire. Adding to the hospital's woes, a separate incident was reported last week, where the absence of blood pressure monitoring equipment allegedly led to a patient's death. The incident sparked a protest by the deceased's family, further underscoring the urgent need for improved healthcare services in the district.

K-P spending plan long on promises
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has presented a Rs363 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year, marking an 11 per cent increase from last year. Critics, however, have argued that the budget is high on claims and low on credibility. Despite a barrage of promises, from school renovations to new colleges and expanded health coverage, opposition parties have dismissed the budget as a "paper exercise" detached from the dire on-ground realities of a province grappling with economic mismanagement, institutional decay, and widespread corruption. The government's education plan boasts allocations for classroom repairs in 32,500 schools, provision of teaching materials, and extracurricular activities for over 5.9 million students. It also includes Rs1.59 billion for hiring female teachers in girls' community schools, Rs8.54 billion for free textbooks, and Rs855 million for restoring ten historic schools. Additionally, it promises to enroll half of the province's out-of-school children and address teacher shortages through a Rs1 billion allocation to parent-teacher councils. Higher education spending has been increased to Rs50 billion, while Rs2.77 billion has been set aside to convert public colleges into centers of applied sciences and Rs3.5 billion for five new colleges. The budget for public universities has jumped from Rs3 billion to Rs10 billion, alongside a Rs1.24 billion top-up in the scholarship endowment fund. In the health sector, the government has raised the Sehat Card Plus budget from Rs28 billion to Rs35 billion, and earmarked Rs6 billion for extending health coverage to the merged districts. New projects include neonatal care centers in five districts, satellite cardiology units in Mardan and Bannu, and a nursing college in Chitral. Funds have also been set aside for health facility upgrades in Orakzai and Kurram. However, the opposition has branded the budget a farce, with PPP MPA Ahmed Karim Kundi calling it "laughable" and accusing the government of manipulating figures to create the illusion of a Rs157 billion surplus. "They present a Rs416 billion budget but cannot even spend Rs100 billion effectively. The Sehat Card program, touted as a flagship initiative, disproportionately benefits the rich, with 80 per cent of users coming from wealthier segments of society. Public hospitals are in shambles, no new basic health units have been built, and health indicators are declining," he said. Critics also pointed to a crumbling education sector. Over 500,000 children remain out of school, and while the government announces new projects each year, implementation remains minimal. Universities face a crippling financial crisis, with the government reportedly selling off institutional land to manage expenses. Opposition lawmaker from the Awami National Party Nisar Baz accused the PTI-led provincial government of reducing education and health to mere slogans, while failing to build even a single major hospital or university in the last 15 years. "Security conditions in some districts are so poor that teachers can't even reach their schools," claimed an MPA from the ANP. Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association K-P Chapter President Professor Dr Dilnawaz Khan revealed that they were demanding Rs50 billion fund from the provincial government. "Only Rs10 billion has been announced for universities, which is insufficient. The federal government will allocate Rs65 billion for higher education, even though after the 18th amendment it is the responsibility of the provincial government. Universities in K-P are facing a financial loss of Rs20 billion," said Dr Khan. Leader of the opposition, Dr Ibad Khan was more scathing in his assessment, claiming that the budget reflected a governance model built on corruption. "The only thing this government is serious about is looting public funds. From the Chief Minister to his ministers, corruption runs deep," lambasted Dr Ibad, while accusing the ruling party of betraying public trust by using promises of better education and health to win votes while delivering only stagnation and administrative failure.
