As a result, a lack of coordination was witnessed while there was a disruption in vaccine supplies from China which led to the crisis.The NDMA, officials said, was not only dealing with Chinese vaccine manufacturers, including Sinopharm, Sinovac, and CansinoBIO, but it was also negotiating with Pfizer for the procurement of its mRNA vaccine for the country, a deal which could not be struck yet.Similarly, they said, Pakistan was relying heavily on the National Institute of Health (NIH), Islamabad, for the preparation and filing of single-dose Chinese vaccine Cansino from the bulk concentrate, which is being distributed in the name of PakVac, but the NIH also failed to fulfil its commitment of sustained supply of the single-dose vaccine.“NIH Islamabad had assured that they would be providing three million doses of PakVac (Cansino) vaccine per month but it failed to meet its commitment”, one of the officials said.In the beginning, the Pakistan government inoculated people with the double-dose Sinopharm vaccine from China, followed by AstraZeneca from the UK before opting for SinoVac and single-shot Cansino from China.

The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), which had received 100,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, has supplied 26,000 doses to Punjab, which will be administered to immunocompromised people, such as patients of organ transplant, cancer, and AIDS on a priority basis.When contacted, a spokesman of the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations & Coordination said that the shortage of vaccine has spread thinly across the country.

Therefore, he suggested that the relocation of vaccines from limited use CVCs was required.He further said that only limited quantities of vaccines were reserved centrally.

“The next consignments of vaccines are expected towards the end of the current week,” he told The News.

This is the story of how Karachi’s 52 acres of an amenity plot that were reserved for a park and were part of the city’s famous Safari Park in District East fell prey to massively illegal commercial activities over the years.Latest Pakistan News obtained copies of at least five agreements that allowed commercial activities on the premises of the park over the course of five years and found out under whose watch those agreements were signed.The park is currently known as Aladin Amusement Park, which had been housing Aladin Shopping Mall and Pavilion End Club.

On June 14, 2021, the Supreme Court declared both of them illegal and ordered their demolition within two days.

Amenity plots are reserved for parks, gardens, playgrounds, graveyards, hospitals, schools, colleges, libraries, community centers, mosques, or other such purposes.It began in 1995The saga of Aladin Park started in 1995 when then Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chief minister Syed Abdullah Shah and chief secretary formed a committee to convert 52 acres of Safari Park into an amusement park.

Hameed Haroon chaired the committee, and then KMC administrator Fahim Zaman was one of its members.On May 30 Zaman signed an agreement with Zodiac Joyland, which was granted the 52 acres facing Rashid Minhas Road for 25 years to develop an amusement park on the pattern of Disneyland.

The lease was granted on the condition that the land would be used for amenity purposes.The developer was bound by the agreement to submit a detailed master plan and a detailed design of the proposed amusement park to the KMC within six months.The agreement stated that 66 percent of the area would remain open space, while the remaining 34 percent could be covered by building structures and machines, within which not more than five percent could be used for commercial purposes like gift shops and snack bars.The fifth clause of the agreement clearly restricts the developer from subleasing or assigning the project land or any part of it to anyone else.A fresh agreementZaman was the administrator until April 4, 1996.

On April 9, when PPP was still in power and Aznar Hussain Zaidi was the new KMC administrator, a fresh agreement was signed between the KMC and AA Joyland.
