Plight of a visually impaired employee
I hope KMC devises a conveyance policy for special employees, making it easier for them to commute.
KARACHI: This is with reference to news reports in which the administrator of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) declared that the KMC is making all out efforts for the welfare of the visually impaired.
I, being a colleague of a visually impaired employee of the KMC, want to invite the attention of the administrator to redress the financial hardship of Mr Salman Jang, who is a lower grade staff member in the revenue and resource section. He has to pay more than half his monthly salary to a taxi driver who provides a conveyance facility to him from his home in Malir to his office at the Civic Centre. I hope the administrator would devise a conveyance policy for such special employees, making it easier for them to commute between their homes and office in gratis.

To say that the abysmal state of Pakistan cricket is his doing, like Aamir Sohail has done, is absurd.

I would like to point out that Sohail himself captained Pakistan after Imran’s retirement. What accolades did he earn?

The government is trying to delay the case, but to what avail? All they will gain is to delay the case and save a prime minister or two till their time is up. The government should now start preparing a strategy for the time when the president will no longer enjoy immunity and will have to answer for his past and current misdeeds. In his smartness (so far he is successful) he has succeeded in portraying the current conflict as a ‘confrontation’ between the judiciary and parliament. The reality is that it is him vs. the law. The law is quickly catching up and the time is not far off when not only the Swiss case but scores of other cases would open up that were pushed under the rug by the NRO. He is, according to him, pursuing a policy of ‘reconciliation’ but it is a policy of reconciliation sans the truth!
