Cuts in PSDP led to power, water crises: govt

ISLAMABAD: The government has conceded playing a key role in prolonging economic recession in the country by repeatedly cutting down the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), resulting in energy and water shortages and unemployment in the country.
To partially overcome some of the lasting and negative impacts of national recession, the government is now considering privatising some of the major projects through outright sale or through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) mode on Built to Operate and Own (BOO) basis.

Change or perish

 A total lack of respect for the land, and the environment as a whole, pervades Pakistani society to the core. Everywhere you glance, you will find filth, rotting garbage and criminal rapine of natural resources. No one seems to spare even a thought for sustainability and whether the resources that are being plundered will run out. And when they run out, what next?
