Sindh govt announces Rs802 billion development package for the port city

The Sindh government on Tuesday once again rejected the Centre’s claim of contributing Rs800 billion to the Rs1.1 trillion Karachi Development Package.

Speaking at a press conference, the provincial government’s spokesperson Murtaza Wahab said the Centre’s contribution to the uplift package will be Rs362.9 billion, out of which Rs260 billion will be covered through public-private partnership (PPP) mode while the rest will be funded from the PSDP.

On the other hand, Murtaza Wahab said the provincial government’s contribution will be Rs802 billion, which included funds earmarked for the projects that are ongoing and those conceived.

He said Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had announced the Rs802 billion development package for the port city, which PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari also mentioned in his statements.

He said Karachi’s perennial issues will remain unresolved until the Centre will take keen interest in resolving them, stressing the need for setting aside all political difference. He, however, cleared that the purpose of his presser was to set the record straight and not indulge in any blame game.

Malaysia restricts entry of citizens from 23 countries

Malaysia announced on Monday that it was restricting the entry of people from 23 countries, including Pakistan to stem the spread of coronavirus.

Malaysia’s immigration department announced on social media that it was restricting the entry of "Long Term Visit Pass Holders" from the 23 countries as they had reported over 150,000 COVID-19 cases.

Apart from Pakistan, the other countries included in the ban are India, USA, Brazil, Russia, Peru, Colombia, South Africa, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Iran, United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, France, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Iraq, Philippines and Indonesia.

Sharpest spike in 3 months

The country’s health authorities reported 62 new coronavirus cases on Monday, the sharpest spike since early June, just as the government began barring long-term immigration pass holders from countries with high infection numbers.

Of the total new cases reported, 50 were detected in an existing cluster in Sabah state on Malaysian Borneo, stemming from the detention of two undocumented migrants two weeks earlier, the health ministry said.

The others were detected in a new cluster in the northern state of Kedah and six arrivals from Turkey, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Egypt, the ministry said in a statement.

Monday's new infections were the largest since June 4, when 277 cases and one death were reported.

Malaysia has so far avoided the kind of contagion seen in neighbors the Philippines and Indonesia, which have 238,727 and 196,989 cases respectively. Indonesia death toll of 8,130 is the region's highest.

Malaysia currently has 9,459 confirmed coronavirus infections, of which 128 led to deaths.
