When a Network Goes Beyond the Signal: PTCL & Ufone Partner with Oladoc to Bring Free Mental Health Support to Pakistan’s New Mothers

/

On Mother’s Day 2026, PTCL & Ufone move beyond connectivity, offering Pakistani mothers free, certified psychiatric consultations through the UPTCL app ISLAMABAD, 10th May 2026 — Today, on Mother’s Day 2026, Pakistan’s largest integrated telecommunications company, PTCL and Ufone announce the launch of #MoreSupportForMothers: a nationwide initiative that pairs awareness with action, first-of-its-kind mental health initiative in the telecom industry. In partnership with Oladoc, Pakistan’s leading digital health platform, PTCL and Ufone are making free consultations with certified psychiatrists available to mothers across Pakistan accessible today through the UPTCL app, at no cost and with no barriers. The Initiative: Turning Connectivity into Care Postpartum depression affects an estimated 40% of Pakistani mothers, a rate up to four times the global average, and among the highest in all of Asia. It is one of the most widespread and least addressed mental health challenges in the country. And for most of the mothers who experience it, professional support has never been a realistic choice. Pakistan has 0.19 psychiatrists per 100,000 people. Its mental health budget is 0.4% of total health spending. Nine out of ten people in this country who need mental health support receive none. For new mothers in smaller cities, rural districts, and remote communities, women who also face the added weight of distance, mobility restrictions, and deep-rooted stigma, the gap is even wider. DVC: https://youtu.be/rIyWNKBWT8U Share it with every mother, husband, and family in your life. The Partnership: PTCL, Ufone & Oladoc PTCL and Ufone’s partnership with Oladoc brings together Pakistan’s largest telecom infrastructure and its most trusted digital health platform to deliver something the country’s maternal mental health landscape has never had scale. Oladoc connects patients with thousands of verified healthcare professionals across specialties. Through this partnership, its network of certified psychiatrists is now accessible, for free, to every mother in Pakistan who downloads the UPTCL app. The service is available on iOS and Android, requires no prior diagnosis or referral, and is designed to function in communities far beyond Pakistan’s urban centres. This is not a pilot programme for a handful of users in Karachi or Lahore. PTCL and Ufone’s reach extends across every province, every district, and every corner of Pakistan. And so, through this initiative, the support. PTCL and Ufone have been part of Pakistani families for decades. Their networks carry calls that has crossed distances, the messages that kept people close, and the connections that made the country feel smaller. That history comes with a responsibility, and this initiative is an expression of it. Mental health in Pakistan has long been underfunded, understaffed, and overlaid with stigma. The mothers who bear the highest burden of that neglect are often the least visible, new mothers in the exhausting, disorienting weeks after birth, in homes that celebrate the baby and forget to ask how she is doing. #MoreSupportForMothers does not claim to fix the system. It claims something more achievable and more urgent: that for the mothers in Pakistan who are struggling right now, today, there is somewhere to turn. A real resource. A real professional. A real conversation. Available for free, through a screen they already carry in their pocket.

Massive Increase in Petroleum Prices is an Anti-People Decision: Kaukab Iqbal

/

Government Must Immediately Reduce Additional Levies and Charges Consumers Association of Pakistan Chairman Kaukab Iqbal has expressed serious concern and disappointment over the sharp increase in petroleum prices, stating that the extraordinary rise in petrol and diesel rates is another wave of inflation imposed on the public. He said the decision will not only affect daily life but will also increase transportation costs, agricultural expenses, industrial production costs, and the prices of essential commodities across the country. Talking to the media in Karachi, Kaukab Iqbal stated that Pakistan is already facing severe inflation, unemployment, and economic pressure, and the sudden increase in petroleum prices has become unbearable for the poor and middle class. He said that while international market conditions have their impact, additional domestic levies, internal charges, and various indirect costs have multiplied the financial burden on consumers. He further stated that higher public transport fares will directly affect workers, students, employees, and ordinary citizens, while increased diesel costs will raise agricultural production expenses, leading to further hikes in food prices. Rising logistics and freight charges will trigger another wave of inflation in the country. The Chairman of Consumers Association of Pakistan urged the Government of Pakistan to immediately reduce unnecessary taxes, levies, and additional charges imposed on petroleum products in order to provide relief to the public. He also called for emergency measures and special support for the transport, agriculture, and essential goods supply sectors to control the growing inflationary pressure. He also urged Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority to ensure strict implementation of official fuel prices across the country and to take immediate action against overcharging, under-measurement, and hoarding practices at fuel stations. Kaukab Iqbal emphasized that the current situation requires serious national attention and immediate practical measures to protect the public from further economic hardship.

KARACHI, Monday, May 11, 2026- Lasbela Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI) has strongly condemned the murder of a factory manager at Sera-e-Noor Factory in Hub Industrial Area, who was shot dead by unidentified assailants, and has called on the provincial government and law-enforcement agencies to arrest the perpetrators without delay. The LCCI president and executive committee, in a statement issued on Monday, expressed deep grief and shock over the killing, warning that such incidents generate a pervasive sense of fear and insecurity among industrialists, investors, management staff, workers and all others associated with industrial activity in the region. “While the exact motive behind the attack is yet to be established, the incident raises serious and troubling questions about the state of law and order within the industrial zone,” the statement read. The Chamber extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and appealed to the Chief Secretary Balochistan, Inspector General of Police Balochistan, Senior Superintendent of Police Hub, Frontier Corps authorities and all relevant law-enforcement agencies to take immediate and effective measures to bring the culprits to justice at the earliest. Ismail Suttar, former president of the LCCI and chairman of its Law and Order Committee, reiterated his longstanding proposal for the establishment of a dedicated, professionally trained industrial security force for the Hub Industrial Trading Estate (HITE). He said such a force must be equipped with modern surveillance infrastructure, rapid-response capability, effective patrol mechanisms and strict monitoring of all entry and exit points to prevent unauthorized access to the industrial zone. The Chamber stressed that urgent and tangible measures are essential to restore the confidence of industrialists and the thousands of workers employed across Hub Industrial Area. The LCCI also reaffirmed its full commitment to cooperating with the administration and law-enforcement bodies in maintaining peace and security across the region. “Economic stability and investor confidence are directly linked to a safe and secure business environment. Without the restoration of law and order, neither investment nor development can be sustained,” the Chamber cautioned.

Over 300 Pakistan-China MOUs worth $13b signed in two years: Ambassador Hashmi

/

KARACHI: Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, stated that Pakistan and China have significantly strengthened bilateral economic cooperation, with more than 300 Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and over three dozen joint venture agreements signed during the past two years, carrying a combined value exceeding $13 billion. Speaking during a meeting at the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry attended by a 70-member delegation from China’s IBI Group, Ambassador Khalil Hashmi said the government has developed a structured mechanism to ensure MOUs are converted into practical business agreements. He revealed that Pakistan’s realization rate from MOUs to formal contracts has reached nearly 30 percent, reflecting effective follow-up and execution. The meeting was attended by IBI Group Director Liu Junzhai, Zubair Motiwala, KCCI President Rehan Hanif, and other business leaders from both countries. During the event, KCCI and IBI Group signed an MoU aimed at promoting strategic cooperation in digital economy initiatives and industrial development. Highlighting emerging opportunities in technology and energy, Ambassador Khalil Hashmi disclosed that Pakistan is in active discussions with CATL, one of the world’s largest battery manufacturers, regarding investment and cooperation in advanced battery technologies. He noted that the global market is gradually shifting toward sodium-based batteries and emphasized that Pakistan possesses abundant raw materials required for this sector. He expressed optimism that progress could be made during the Prime Minister’s upcoming visit to China. Speaking on the occasion, Liu Junzhai stated that Karachi has the potential to become a major regional hub for digital trade and smart industrial transformation because of its strategic maritime location, industrial base, and strong business community. She described Karachi as the commercial heart of Pakistan and emphasized IBI Group’s interest in building a long-term strategic partnership with KCCI. She also introduced IBI Group as one of China’s leading industrial internet and digital trade platforms, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with extensive experience in industrial digitalization and e-commerce. Chairman Businessmen Group Zubair Motiwala said the visit of the Chinese delegation reflected the deep-rooted friendship and expanding economic partnership between Pakistan and China. He noted that bilateral trade between the two countries has reached between $23 billion and $28 billion despite global economic uncertainties and supply chain disruptions. However, he expressed concern over the widening trade imbalance, as Pakistan imports more than eight times the volume it exports to China. Zubair Motiwala stressed the need to shift bilateral relations beyond the traditional import-export model toward joint manufacturing, technology transfer, industrial cooperation, value addition, and export-oriented investment. He also reaffirmed KCCI’s commitment to facilitating Chinese investors and improving the ease of doing business in Pakistan. Discussing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, he described it as the flagship project of China’s Belt and Road Initiative that transformed Pakistan’s infrastructure and energy sectors. He stated that the next phase of CPEC should focus more aggressively on industrial cooperation, Special Economic Zones, renewable energy, agriculture modernization, technology partnerships, and the digital economy. Speaking on renewable energy, Motiwala said Pakistan’s industrial sector is rapidly shifting toward sustainable energy solutions due to rising electricity costs and energy security concerns. He highlighted that Pakistan has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing solar markets, largely supported by Chinese solar technologies and equipment. On agriculture, he noted that Pakistan has significant untapped potential to increase exports of rice, halal meat, seafood, fruits, sesame, dairy products, and processed foods to China, particularly in response to growing demand from China’s expanding middle class. KCCI President Rehan Hanif welcomed the Chinese delegation and described the launch of IBI Group’s Pakistan Digital Economy Headquarters as an important milestone reflecting the growing strategic partnership between Pakistan and China. He added that as global economies rapidly transition toward digital transformation, AI-driven commerce, and smart manufacturing, Pakistan offers immense opportunities for strategic collaboration and investment, with Karachi serving as an ideal gateway for Chinese enterprises.

National Steel Complex Delegation Meets Commerce Minister to Resolve Double Taxation in Export Processing Zones (EPZs)

/

ISLAMABAD: A delegation of National Steel Complex Limited met Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan to discuss issues relating to industrial competitiveness, tariff rationalization, value-added manufacturing, and operational challenges being faced by the steel and engineering sectors. During the meeting, the delegation briefed the Minister on concerns arising from the existing duty structure applicable to raw materials, intermediate goods, and products processed through Export Processing Zones (EPZs). Representatives explained that industries importing raw materials into the tariff area are required to pay customs duties at the import stage, while additional duties are again imposed when processed or value-added products return from EPZs to the tariff area. The delegation informed the Minister that the current mechanism effectively results in double taxation on industrial products and increases the cost of manufacturing, particularly for industries involved in machining, lining, coating, fabrication, and other value-added industrial activities. They proposed that duties should only apply to the additional value created within the EPZ instead of the total value of the finished product. Participants also highlighted technical complexities related to customs valuation, classification of processed products, and determination of value addition during industrial processing. They emphasized the need for transparent and practical mechanisms to facilitate genuine industrial activity while ensuring regulatory compliance. During the discussion, it was clarified that NTC primarily functions as a technical body on tariff-related matters, providing analytical and advisory support regarding tariff structures and trade remedy measures. The Commission is responsible for implementing trade protection instruments, including safeguards against unfair trade practices by foreign exporters to protect local manufacturers. Matters relating to customs valuation, industrial costing, regulatory enforcement, and sector-specific compliance fall within the respective mandates of relevant authorities such as FBR, Ministry of Industries, and other concerned regulatory bodies. The delegation further apprised the Minister of the challenges being faced by long-term industrial projects due to rising energy costs, evolving tariff structures, and changing economic conditions. Participants observed that several projects were initiated under significantly different economic and industrial circumstances, while current operational realities have increased financial pressures on manufacturers. Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan acknowledged the concerns raised by the delegation and emphasized that the government remains committed to supporting industrial development, export-oriented manufacturing, and value addition in Pakistan. The Minister observed that policymaking should remain practical and responsive to the realities of industrial operations. He stated that the government values the technical expertise and practical experience of industrial stakeholders in identifying workable and legally sustainable solutions for the sector. Jam Kamal Khan directed the relevant authorities to continue consultations with stakeholders, including EPZA, customs authorities, tariff experts, and industry representatives, to examine the matter comprehensively and explore mechanisms that facilitate industrial growth while maintaining transparency and regulatory compliance. The meeting also included discussions on industrial preparedness, machinery procurement, contractor coordination, and institutional facilitation required for the smooth implementation and expansion of industrial projects in the country.
