KP Govt to Launch Insaf Emergency Cab Service
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Health Department has decided to launch Insaf Emergency Cab Service in the province to pick up patients in an emergency from their doorsteps.
The idea came up in a meeting chaired by Health Minister Dr. Hisham Inamullah Khan, as per an official statement. During the meeting, they planned to start an Insaf Emergency Cab Service at district and tehsil headquarter hospitals, basic health units, and rural health centers
These cars will prove to be effective in transporting emergency patients from their homes to the hospitals, given there are no dedicated ambulances for the purpose. In this way, the quick health services will be accessible to the general public.
The provincial health minister directed the concerned authorities to make all necessary arrangements in this regard. Insaf Emergency Cab Service will help the poor patients in far-flung areas of the province, especially those in the merged districts to reach hospitals in time.
He further asserted that the government will take strict action against those who remain negligent in performing their duties. The minister vowed to follow the reward and punishment system to put everything in the right direction.
The meeting was apprised that cabs for the service will be provided by the provincial health department

World’s Biggest Oil and Gas Company Re-Enters Pakistan After 27 Years
World’s largest oil and gas company ExxonMobil, has re-entered Pakistan after a gap of nearly three decades. ExxonMobil’s offshore deep sea drilling equipment has just reached the Karachi Port.
A source told that ExxonMobil’s offshore drilling equipment includes a SIAPAM mothership with a RIG and three supply vessels docked at Karachi Port.
These ships will start their drilling operations from Jan 6, 230 KM from Karachi coastline in open sea. The drilling activity will be done at a depth of 6200 feet. This is the first operation of ExxonMobil in Pakistan after 27 years, the company exited the country in 1991 after a change in its policy.
ExxonMobil has opened a new venture office in Islamabad on Nov. 27, 2018, to start oil and gas explorations activities in the country.
The company holds a 25 percent interest in Block G located offshore Pakistan which is operated by Eni Pakistan Limited. ExxonMobil is working with its partners and the government of Pakistan.
In Jan 2010, the first attempt was made for hydrocarbon exploration in Pakistan. Shark 1 is the first exploratory well, being drilled in Indus ‘M’ Block, located 87 KM south-west of Karachi. The Block is a joint venture (JV) between ENI with a 70 percent working interest, and PPL holding the remaining 30 percent.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
ExxonMobil and the Pakistani consortium Energas signed an agreement to support the development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal and to support securing the supply of LNG.

The agreement is an important milestone for the project, which will help meet the country’s energy needs and drive economic growth by providing a reliable supply of cleaner-burning natural gas.
ExxonMobil is working and cooperating with all the stakeholders to help realize this strategically important project for Pakistan.

The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) to pay a sum of Rs1 billion to construction companies of the Orange Line Metro Train (OLMT) project, Express News reported.
The bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar remarked that payment of bills is crucial for the construction companies, failing which the court shall impose a penalty on the development authority.

During the hearing, LDA’s counsel argued that it was essential to measure the progress of the project before any payment was made. The counsel representing the construction companies apprised the bench that the payment had already undergone a 22-month delay. The counsel added that 97 per cent of the project has been completed.
Justice Nisar commented that the apex court shall oversee the matter and also direct the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to not probe the matter unless the SC issues directives.
The court ordered LDA to pay off the construction companies by the next hearing and further directed construction companies to grant LDA Rs1 billion worth of bank guarantee

A high-level UAE delegation is due in next few days where the matter pertaining to the much-awaited $800 million outstanding dues on account of privatization of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) is likely to be resolved.

The committee met with Rubina Khalid in the chair on Wednesday where Privatization Division briefed the committee on the privatization of PTCL along with the sale, purchase agreement.
Malik said that due to lack of proper homework for identifying properties by the concerned departments, issues were created for the government of Pakistan. During the last high-level interaction, it was evident that for the first time Etisalat has shifted their position and shown interest to resolve the matter amicably.
According to the agreement in case of non-transferable of properties, both sides would independently evaluate its prices and the highest would be adjusted. According to Pakistan’s side evaluation, the remaining 34 properties have a value of $87 million as made by independent valuers, which was also shared with Etisalat and the Escrow Agent.
