These sugar mill owners think Pakistanis are stupid

IGBH on the behalf of Pakistan want to answer these powerful Sugar mills!
One thing want to add in start, International sugar prices are 0.11 Cents/Pound or 32Rs/Kg /USD

THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES THE FOLLOWING

1) You decide the minimum cane price which we have to pay yet you do not decide the price of sugar.

This is not government, powerful Sugar mill owners (in government) decide support price for Sugarcane!
Higher than cotton and increase it regularly so farmer cant plant cotton. Support price of Cotton was 3600 PKR in 2012 and in the last few years because of your pressure not decided and cotton sold at 2200 Rs sadly.

Continuously decreasing it and playing on the name of farmers

2) You decide when mills should start the crushing season and if we can't.... we can get arrested.

Yes, because you play with farmers again. By not paying them and making their canes dry in the open air. Government can cancel this and let farmers shift to cotton, first setting attractive price for cotton.

3) You force us to crush all the cane in the fields... Even when we know sugar will be surplus!

This is not government, policy driven by you to make excess sugar and play with subsidy. Government should end this too.

4) You ensure that we pay for the cane in 15 days, while we sell sugar over 365 days.

Yes this is basic rule of Buisness, pay at the time when you get commodity.

5) You accuse us of hoarding sugar since we produce sugar in 120 days, however we have to distribute it over 365 days.

Because you are the one who call your self as Sugar mils owners, so its your duty to manage the supply.

6) You have decided that Sugar is an essential commodity. Then why do you charge 17% Sales Tax?

Whole world put sales tax on each publicly selling commodity, if you are not happy with this thing. IGBH encourage government to allow imports and put sales tax, people will not get sugar more than 38 Rs/Kg. not 80Rs/Kg.

7) You collect Rs.50 Billion revenue in Sales Tax from sugar annually. Is that not a burden on the common man?

You are the one who are afraid of import of sugar from International Market as its beneficial for common man and if its with sales tax common many will get it at 38Rs/Kg

WHAT WE CONTRIBUTE

1) We pay sugarcane farmers Rs. 300 billion annually during the season only in 120 days.

IGBH encourage you, not to pay once. You will not get sugarcane in the next season and you will fail to run your mills. Koi Ehsaan nai hai !!!!!!!

2) We are your national asset since we bring prosperity to rural Pakistan.

National assets? :P Cotton was major export of Pakistan even with 50% decrease in area because of sugar mills installation in cotton areas. Cotton contribute more than 16BN$ in exports of Pakistan. Where you stand, without subsidy ZERO and with subsidy using taxpayers money less than 0.5BN$

3) We are one of Pakistan's largest industries with an involvement of over 10.0 million people, mostly in the rural sector.

IGBH wish you are, actually you are playing with support price of sugarcane and cotton, forcing people to plant sugarcane and then saying involving 10 million people.

WHAT WE PROPOSE
1) YOU need to take a fair decision for all stakeholders.

Yes, allow imports, remove subsidy and set support price of cotton to international price. IGBH is sure that if government will any one of these step, Pakistan will earn more in exports, farmers will earn more and all sugar mills will close down their operation in 3 years. Fair enough as they are enjoying undue advantage.

2) If YOU want to continue to regulate the industry then regulate it FAIRLY... or DEREGULATE.

Yes, deregulate. Again IGBH suggest to take any one of these 3 steps which are quite fair
a. Allow imports
b. Remove subsidy
c. Set support price of cotton to international price

3) YOU must hire a reputable audit firm and evaluate the price of sugarcane and the subsequent price of sugar.

Yes and also tell this audit firm to find real values of Sugar in international market and we are paying alot more and value of cotton is quite high and we are paying farless.
IGBH estimates even we are not considering power, processing and manufacturing cost of sugar still cotton gives around 2191$-1107$= 1084$/acre more to Pakistan still we are giving 171000-122500=48500Pkr/acre more to farmer for planting sugar cane instead of cotton.

4) If YOU want us to continue to be liable to pay a minimum price of cane than YOU must be LIABLE to ensure a minimum price of sugar as well.

Government should remove minimum price of cane, I know farmers will mind but fair price of cotton will give them more.

5) YOU must not burden the common man to pay Rs. 11/- Kg Sales Tax on Sugar since YOU feel sugar is an essential commodity.

Government should allow imports and like all other commodities allow sugar mills to compete with International standards, follow the price internationally and not burden common man by more than 32 Rs/Kg.

6) YOU must abolish Sales Tax with immediate effect which will reduce the price of Sugar by Rs. 11 /- Kg immediately. This will remove a Rs. 50 Billion Tax burden from the common man annually.

Yes, IGBH estimates if government will open imports common man will get benefit of 48 Rs/Kg not 11. Govt should do benefit of common man and allow imports as Sugar mills demand.

IGBH agree :
FAIR GOVERNANCE - FAIR REGULATION - FAIR TRADE

*Awareness post.*

I Dr.Omer usman did corona virus triage duty yesterday at services hospital emergency on 18/3/2020.
And things i felt in this epidemic that need to adresssed ..

*Advice for general population,*

✓Most of the healthy people come to corona desk for just screening, having no symptoms and argue to test them for their perosnal satisfaction. Look brother this is not practically possible. To screen healthy persons just for their satisfaction..
For example you get free screening once. You again roam in public, you can get infected later.
So you can't be tested for your satisfaction at the end of every day.
✓Get yourself tested only when Doctor at corona desk suspects you are corona infected person. Don't come to corona counter if you are healthy and just want screening. U may get infected from there. If you dont have already.
✓Second thing is other diseases related to lungs, throat and nose are still there.
If you are having simple sore throat, only fever, it doesnt mean you have COVID 19 infection.
✓If doctor after your history advices you to get medicine for the things other than COVID19. You dont have symptoms of it, Dont insist for testing. Show good compliance to your doctor advices.

*For Genereal practitioners and medical officers from private setup or primary secodnary health care.*

✓Kindly do counsel the patients, if they are having symptoms other than COVID 19, that they dont need testing, counsel them about the nature of their respitory disease.
✓Dont refer them to corona desk for testing.
We have limited resources and we have to act wisely.

*For administration*

✓Administration should privde PPE (personal proteective equipments) to all the staff not only doctors but also nurses, paramedical staff and every health care worker doing duties in emergencies.
✓Doctor treating the epigastric pain of asymptomatic patient of COVID 19 can get infected.
✓If a health care worker is infected he would be a catalyst to this disaster, infecting other patients and other staff of hospitals and his own family.
✓I admitted a doctor in quarantine. He attendend a patient, who came from italy 3 days back, in mian meer hospital.

*Quick planing is the need of the hour*

✓First of all pulomonolgy emergency should be separated from other emergency in every tertiary care hospital. Where doctors from pulomonolgy, anesthesia, internal medicine and ENT should be appointed and separate floors for corona suspected and non corona patients should be there.
✓Thing that is happening right now, because of the fear, is patients suffering from LRTI , asthma or COPD are being ignored. If they are critical, they should be tested negative first. Then they shall be treated properly. So proper triage should be there in every hospital.
✓Govt should declare one hospital atleast only for dignosed cases of COVID.
Patient should be sent from every hospital to that after diagnosis and should be managed accordingly with strict PPE measures.

*For society*

✓In near future there will be need of NGO's to arrange food for suspected patients in qaurantine. And support families of patients in quarantine.
✓Participation from ambulance services like edhi, chippa for transporting of patients will be required.
✓And fire brigade for proper washing of hospitals and ambulances dealing with COVID patients.

*Social distancing* . *Personal hygiene* . *Staying at home* will help us a lot..

Boost the moral of frontlinewarriors, Doctors and paramedical staff . We'll win against this deadly virus *insha Allah.*

ایک شخص صبح اٹھتا ہے۔۔"کولگیٹ" سے برش کرتا ہے "جلٹ" سے شیو کرکے "لکس" سے نہا تا ہے اور نہانے کے بعد "لیوس" کی پینٹ شرٹ پہن لیتا ہے۔۔ناشتہ کرنے کے بعد "ہونڈا" کی گاڑی میں بیٹھ کر کام پر چلا جاتا ہے۔ راستے میں ایک جگہ سگنل بند ہوتا ہے وہ جیب سے "آئی فون" نکالتا ہے اور "زونگ" پے فور جی(4G) چلانا شروع کر دیتا ہے اتنے میں سبز بتی جلتی ہے آفس پہنچ کر "ایپل" کے کمپیوٹر میں کام میں مشغول ہو جاتا ہے۔۔ کافی دیر کام کرنے کے بعد اسے بھوک محسوس ہوتی ہے تو "میکڈونلڈ" سے کھانا اور ساتھ میں "نیسلے" کا پانی بھی منگواتا ہے کھانے کے بعد "نیسکیفے" کی کافی پیتا ہےاور پھر تھوڑا آرام کرنے چلا جاتا ہے۔۔کچھ آرام کے بعد دوبارہ کام میں مشغول ہو جاتا ہے۔۔کچھ دیر بعد "راڈو" کی گھڑی میں ٹائم دیکھتا ہے تو اسے پتہ چلتا ہے کہ واپسی کا وقت ہو گیا ہے تو وہ دوبارہ "ہونڈا" کی گاڑی اسٹارٹ کرتا ہے اور گھر کے لئے روانہ ہو جاتا ہے کچھ ہی لمحے بعد "شیل" کا پیٹرول پمپ آ جاتا ہے وہاں سے ٹنکی فل کرواتا ہے اور سپر سٹور کا رخ کر لیتا ہے۔۔سپر اسٹور سے بچوں کے لئے "میگی اور کنور" کے نوڈلز وغیرہ خرید لیتا ہے۔۔سپر سٹور کے ساتھ ہی "پیزا ہٹ" سے وہ بیوی بچوں کے لئے پیزا بھی خرید لیتا ہے۔۔۔گھر جا کر کھانا کھانے کے بعد سب گھر والے "سونی" کے ٹیلی ویژن پر خبریں سن رہے ہوتے ہیں اور ھاتھ میں "کوک" کے گلاس پکڑے ہوتے ہیں کہ خبر آتی ہے کہ پاکستانی روپیہ امریکی ڈالر کے مقابلے میں مزید گر گیایہ سن کر وہ آگ بگولہ ہو جاتا ہے اور اونچی آواز میں بولتا ہے آخر کیوں پاکستانی کرنسی دن بدن گرتی جا رہی ہے؟؟
آخر کیوں پاکستانی معیشت ٹھیک ہونے کی بجائے بدتر ہوتی جارہی ہے ؟؟
آخر کیوں؟؟
۔
آخر کیوں ہم پورا دن امپورٹڈ اشیاء استعمال کرکے پاکستانی کرنسی گرنے اور معیشت خراب ہونے پر حیران ہوتے ہیں؟؟
آخر ہم چھوڑ کیوں نہیں دیتے؟؟ آخر کیوں ہم پاکستانی اشیاء کی بجائے امپورٹ اشیا کو ترجیح دیتے ہیں؟؟
مانا کے پاکستانی اشیاء کی کوالٹی زیادہ اچھی نہیں لیکن ہم کوشش تو کر سکتے ہیں
آخر کیوں ہم کوشش نہیں کرتے؟ ؟؟
آخر کیوں !!!!!!؟؟
