LAHORE: The Young Nurses Association (YNA) on Monday resumed their protest for the regularisation of their jobs, in front of the Lahore Press Club.
These protesting nurses had been working on contractual and ad hoc bases.
YNA leaders, including the association’s president, Rozina Manzoor, said the protest would continue until the acceptance of their demands, including regularisation of jobs.
Meanwhile, Director General (Nursing) Rukhsana Kamal told APP that a meeting with the YNA was held on March 9 in which the Punjab Health Department told them that it would adopt a lawful procedure to fill the vacant posts of nurses through the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC), as regular appointments in BPS-16 could not be made through an executive order.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and activists also joined the nurses in their protest, and demanded that the government regularise them immediately.
PTI Punjab President Ejaz Chaudhry said that the nursing profession, like most of the professions, is a victim of the PML-N government’s negligence.
He said that it was a matter of shame that the PML-N government on the International Women’s Day announced a package for women, but it contained nothing for the ordinary women.
He said that it was also shameful that daughters of Pakistan had been forced to come out on streets to demand their basic rights.
He said that the government first compelled lady health workers to come out on streets and now the nurses have been forced to do the same.
PTI MPA Shanila Rout said that she, along with leader of the opposition, would prepare a move against this injustice in the Punjab Assembly and demand restoration of the contracts of these nurses. She said that move would also be made for a proper service structure.
She also said that the nurses were the daughters of this country and it was the duty of every Pakistani to protect their rights.
PTI Punjab Information Secretary Andleeb Abbas also addressed the protesters and said that the demand gap for doctors in Pakistan was 40 percent, and that for nursing was 80 percent.
“It is ridiculous that the government is not regularising them.”
She further said that the PTI would raise a voice against the injustice not only by participating in the strike but also raising the issue in the Punjab Assembly, where all PTI MPAs would force the PML-N government to take corrective measures on the issue.

Once lifted, under the HS code, up to 110 per cent import duty on different imported materials for hotel construction will be reimposed as earlier.
The Finance Minister, while presenting the proposed budget for the coming fiscal year, said, with the help of the concessional benefit, already plenty of large star hotels emerged across the country.
Therefore, considering the current context and to protect the nation's revenue, it is unnecessary to continue the exception of tariff duty in the hospitality sector, added the Finance Minister.

General News of Thursday, 22 July 2021
Members of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Goal 16 sub-platform have called on Mr James Oppong-Boanuh, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), to review training modules of Police recruits to make them more human rights sensitive.
They said that would go a long way to improve Ghana Police Service-citizen relations and crowd control.
A 10-member delegation from different Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) suggested this when they paid a courtesy call on the IGP at the National Police Headquarters in Accra.
The visit was to discuss and dialogue on the current state of security in the country and how CSOs can help to improve the situation.
The CSOs also suggested that the IGP and his administration increased Police to citizen ratio, visibility of the police, review Police recruitment policies to avoid politicisation of the Police Service, improve the professionalism of the Police to improve the public trust, and collaborate more with CSOs.
The Group said the recent spate of armed robberies in Accra and across the country, including broad daylight robberies resulting in the loss of lives and property were incidents that generated cause for worry.
They said the Ejura shooting incident currently under investigation, the #FixThe Country brouhaha, the imminent threat of terrorist attacks were also some of the worrying indicators, which necessitated the audience with the IGP.
The IGP expressed gratitude to the Group for the concern about Ghana’s security and the initiative for the dialogue.
He described the Ejura killings as unfortunate and said the Police was arranging to hold counsel with families of the victims.
Mr Oppong-Boanuh said though the crime rate seemed to be on the rise in 2021, the numbers were not more than that of 2020 around the same time last year.
He said the Police was working to overcome challenges to improve the security situation.
The IGP encouraged the CSOs to regularly engage the populace on laws regarding peace and security.


Garissa Deputy County Commissioner Dominic Kyenza said on Monday that the police on patrol arrested the driver of the truck which was used to ferry the contraband goods on Sunday night.
“We are holding one suspect who was the driver of the Canter, and police are still pursuing one more suspect who escaped at the time of the operations,” he said.
Kyenza said 175 bags of sugar and several boxes of insecticides, slippers and shampoo were among the contraband goods the police netted after tip-off by members of the public.
Kyenza said the goods were coming from the neighboring Somalia, adding that the bags of sugar show its source is from Brazil.
He said the suspect, a Kenyan from Garissa town, whom the police are still interrogating, will be taken to court to face charges.
Illegal goods, mainly sugar, normally pass into the country from Somalia through the porous border.
Kenyan authorities have had a difficult time to control the entrance of contraband goods due to the region’s proximity to war-torn Somalia.
The government also believes that the unscrupulous business people are also involved in smuggling in the county firearms and explosives through the region.

Pavel Pardo said that against the United States, Mexico needs more numbers going forward. More specifically, he said that El Tri needs more players in order to have more numbers on the attack.
Said Pardo: "We've come to realize that when Matias (Vuoso) or (Carlos) Ochoa are alone, they need another player to accompany them up front. It's not the system or the players, it's just that we need more people in the area, more attack-minded players."
Despite their horrible performance against Sweden and the lackluster semifinal performances, Pardo for one hasn't lost faith.

Seattle’s public health experts say ‘a new epidemic’ with Ebola outbreak
A new outbreak of Ebola is “almost inevitable,” a public health expert has said.
“This is the pandemic, and we are in it,” Dr. Daniel Kroll, director of the Seattle Department of Public Health, said at a news conference.
The new outbreak is expected to have an impact on Seattle in the coming weeks, as people with the virus become more contagious.
Kroll said it was important to monitor and respond to cases and to provide people with “safe, effective, and appropriate care,” including for their families.
Seattle is also planning to release a questionnaire to help health care workers in the city understand their role in the outbreak, he said.
Kroll’s comments came after the state and the city agreed to pay $20 million for a $5.9 million public health project to test for the virus.
The contract was signed Monday by the mayor and city council, and was announced last week.
The CDC has estimated there are 1,921 cases in the United States, with a total of 1,071 deaths, as of April 4.
This outbreak has so far claimed two lives, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week it was concerned about new cases of Ebola spreading in the U,K.
and other countries.
Kopron said there was “zero chance” the new outbreak will spread to the U.,K.
as many people are infected in the Pacific Northwest.
Officials said they had received the CDC’s most recent outbreak report and were working to develop an Ebola response plan for the region.

In the wake of the discussions about that wrong and shameful decision by the Subotica City Council, which were also soon followed by the propaganda film “Dara iz Jasenovca”, more and more threats were made against ethnic Croats, notably ethnic Croat leaders in Serbia, Zvonko Milas told the Sabor, while presenting the 2019 report on the implementation of the strategy pertaining to Croat communities outside Croatia.
He also warned that the Subotica decision on the Bunjevci vernacular was against the Croatia-Serbia bilateral agreement on the respective ethnic minorities and that it also led to the further fragmentation of the ethnic Croat community in Vojvodina and Serbia.
Milas said that Croatia would do its utmost to make sure that Slovenia can grant a status of ethnic minority to local Croats.
The community has more than 50,000 members, Milas said adding that Slovenia does not recognise any ethnic rights of those Croats.

The parents who have the time to dedicate to their children are those who feel a responsibility to give them the most love, but they’re also parents who are comfortable enough to take their time.
This is why the parents who spend the most hours together are the ones who love their children the most.
This type of parent also has a greater willingness to help their child feel accepted by their peers and have the chance to make friends.
There are a lot of factors that go into choosing which parents have more time for their kids, but parents who feel the most responsibility and care about their children have the best chance to nurture their children through life.
Parents who have more freedom, who allow their children to be who they are, and who feel more connected to their kids are the best.

German Supreme Court orders restriction on child marriage to be modified
(MENAFN) The constitutional court of Germany ruled on Wednesday that a law prohibiting child marriages must be changed because it eliminates the option of maintaining a marriage when both partners reach adulthood.
The law was enacted by the German government in 2017 with the declared intention of safeguarding women who were married overseas. In 2015, a sizable number of refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan entered Germany.
The Federal Constitutional Court ruled that weddings between minors that had place in foreign nations might nonetheless be deemed unlawful without a careful review of the facts. But, the court ruled that if both parties have since achieved maturity, there should be a method for such partnerships to continue to be lawful.
The court also decided that spousal support following a divorce requires a change in the legislation. On the other hand, the administration and parliament were ordered by the court to amend the legislation by the middle of 2024.

Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday once again asked the Congress-led Punjab government for the details of the 250 government schools to compare the education models of both the states.
“Yesterday we released the list of 250 Delhi government schools and have requested the Punjab Education Minister and Chief Minister to update us on the steps taken by the Congress government in the state to improve the infrastructure of its education system,” Sisodia said during a press conference on Monday afternoon.

“As a result Delhi government schools have become better than private schools. This year, the Class 12th Board result in Delhi’s government schools has been 99.96 per cent. The government schools are such that 51 students from one school are qualifying in examinations like NEET. This year around 500 children from Delhi government schools have qualified NEET, 500 children have qualified JEE Mains and 70 children have also cleared JEE Advanced,” he stated.
“I am sure that Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi will take up this challenge spot on and share the details of the work Congress government has done in the past few years,” Sisodia said, adding: “I am also sure that Channi will admit wherever Punjab’s education infrastructure is lacking and work towards improving it.”
