UNCONDITIONAL SUPPLY OF GAS FOR CAPTIVE POWER GENERATION.
In order to provide an incentive for the promotion of
industrial investment in Lasbela District and to facilitate
the existing industrial units in the region, the Chamber
proposed to the minister of state for petroleum and natural
resources, government of Pakistan to withdraw the conditions
of providing evidence for exports and to get recommendations
from the Export Promotion Bureau for supply of Natural Gas
to the industries for Captive Power Generation.
The withdrawal of above condition would not only reduce the
production cost of the existing industries, but also the
local and foriegn investors would be attracted to make
investment to cater to the requirements of upcoming Free
Port of Gawader.
During the meeting of the Chamber's delegation with Governer
of Balochistan, the matter was again discussed and matter of
shortage of gas was also come under discussion.
The Governer proposed the Chamber to take-up the matter
through representations for getting the supply from the
proposed procurement of Gas from Iran and Turkmanistan order
to make up the shortage.
LINKING OF KARACHI NORTHERN BYPASS TO HUB BRIDGE
On the proposal of the President Mr. Saleem H.
Mandviwalla, the National Highway Authority agreed to extend
the Karachi Northern Bypass from its interchange at Lucky to
Hub Bridge and started the work on this project. After
completion of this road, the distance between Karachi and
Hub will reduce by about 3.5 km`thus facilitating the
industrialists and workers visiting Hub and other areas of
Lasbela district on daily basis.

ENSURING TO KEEP THE RCD HIGHWAY OPEN UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES
It has been a routine practice in Hub that during
strikes the protestors blocked the RCD highway thus cutting
not only the Lasbela District from the whole country, but
also the Southern part of the Province of Balochistan,
including Gawader, Khuzdar, Quetta etc. Due to this closure
the commercial and industrial activities of the region
become standstill and virtually the whole area become
hostage of few unruly persons, as the local administration
has been unable to control the situation.
The same ugly event happened during the strike calls on 31st
March, and 2nd April, 2005. This state of affairs was
brought to the notice of the President and Prime Minister of
Pakistan, Governer and Chief Minister of Balochistan showing
the Chamber's apprehension that this would not be conducive
to further economic growth in the region.
In order to control this situation it was suggested that
either FC be deployed or take some other strict measures, to
ensure that the RCD highway from the Hub river bridge
onwards, would remain open throughout the year under any
circumstances.
However after this communication, the situation is under
control of the local government and the commercial and
industrial activities in the region are going on peacefully.
CONCERN OVER FATAL ACCIDENTS ON KARACHI NORTHERN BY PASS
In order to avoid the fatal accidents which took place
in a series on Karachi Northern Bypass, the Chamber's
Delegation led by its Senior Vice President Dr. Mohammad
Aslam and comprising the DSP Traffic Zone-IV, Karachi and
Mr. Tariq Mughal and Mr. Muhammad Yousuf Barakzai, Project
Director(LEP & KNBP), NHA at NHA Complex, Karachi. It was
decided in the meeting that the Karachi Northern Bypass be
declared as one way for traffic going to Hub and the RCD
Highway for the traffic coming from Hub to Karachi, in order
to avoid fatal road accidents on these Highways. It was also
decided that the NHA would improve the condition of RCD
Highway and would provide Road signs and road furniture etc.
to further facilitate the traffic.
REGULAR AND ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF WATER FROM LASBELA CANAL
During the meeting of Chamber's Delegation in August,
2005 with the Governer, Balochistan, the President of the
Chamber referred to the news item published in the press on
26th August, 2005 that the water level in the Hub Dam has
receded to 305 RL (Reservoir Level). The dead reservoir
storage level is 276 RL at which the water supply from the
Dam will stop. He proposed that the RL for the supply of
Karachi should be fixed at 300, so that the supply to
Lasbela may not be stopped as the consumption of Lasbela is
very little as compared to that of Karachi and also there is
no other source of water supply for this region.
The Honourable Governer proposed to get actual status of the
supply from Hub Dam form the Irrigation Department and to
advise the Irrigation Department to ensure the monitoring
system to get due share of water from Hub Dam. He expected
that this would improve the situation.
During last year, the Irrigation Department, Government of
Balochistan, closed the Lasbela Canal for silt clearance and
periodical maintenance. It was firt closed from 7 - 22
Feburary and then from 21 March to 4 April, 2005. Keeping in
view the importance of un-interrupted water supply for
industrial operations, the Chamber took up the matter with
the Irrigation Department and suggested to consult the
Chamber and other consumers before finalizing the shut down
schedule.
The Executive Engineer of the Irrigation Department,
however, contacted the Chamber personally and assured to
resume the supply as soon as possible. Consequently the
water supply was resumed well before the end of closure
period thus minimizing the difficulties of water consumers.
