NA panel forms body to address Rs19bn default by LDI operators
ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunication on Monday constituted a sub-committee to address the alarming default of around Rs19 billion by nine Long Distance and International (LDI) operators. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) informed the committee that more than 100 related cases are pending in various courts, while six of the defaulters have expressed willingness to settle their dues. A structured recovery mechanism, including an instalment-based plan, is under consideration and a proposal has already been submitted to the federal cabinet for guidance. The committee, chaired by MNA Syed Aminul Haq, also decided to convene an in-camera meeting to thoroughly review the confidential Sale and Purchase Agreement between the Government of Pakistan and M/s Etisalat, after expressing strong displeasure over PTCL's refusal to share specific clauses of the deal. The Privatization Commission informed the committee that Clause 6 of the agreement restricts disclosure without mutual consent of both parties. The committee directed that representatives from the Ministry of IT, Ministry of Law and Justice, Privatization Commission, and M/s Etisalat be invited to the next meeting. Meanwhile, the Universal Service Fund (USF) briefed the committee that areas in district Tharparkar and Sargodha Division remain severely underserved in terms of internet and voice call access. Although fibre optic infrastructure exists, telecom services remain unavailable in many parts. The USF stated that specific projects for these regions have been approved and are at the final implementation stage. The committee instructed USF to submit a list of all such projects planned for execution over the next three to five years and directed PTA to ensure service delivery in those areas. On the issue of internet suspension in district Panjgur, the committee urged the Ministry of IT to coordinate with the Ministry of Interior, provincial authorities, and law enforcement agencies to devise a workable solution. The PTA was also instructed to maintain connectivity through the existing fibre optic infrastructure despite service disruptions. MNAs Zulfiqar Ali Bhatti, Dr Mahesh Kumar Malani, Sadiq Ali Memon, Ahmad Saleem Siddiqui, Pullain Baloch, Sher Ali Arbab, and Umair Khan Niazi, along with senior officials from the ministry and its attached departments, attended the meeting.

NA panel seeks action over PTCL document delay
The Parliamentary Panel on Monday expressed serious concerns over a delay in submitting documents related to a property transaction and recommended disciplinary action against Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL). MNA Aminul Haque of MQM chaired the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunication. The chairman expressed displeasure over PTCL's failure to respond in time to queries regarding the sale and purchase agreements of its properties. PTCL President and Etisalat Group CEO Hatem Bamtaref, who attended the meeting via Zoom, was criticised for the delayed submission of briefing papers. Committee member Sher Ali called for formal action against PTCL, stating that reprimands were insufficient. Mahesh Kumar also raised concerns about the stalled merger between Ufone and Telenor. He accused Telenor of intentionally causing service disruptions. The PTA chairman said the merger case is currently under review by the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP). Another member, Sadiq Memon, expressed serious concerns about reports of Microsoft scaling down its operations in Pakistan. Minister of State for IT and Telecom Shaza Fatima Khawaja clarified that Microsoft and Google have engaged in large-scale certification programmes in Pakistan. While Microsoft had laid off 16,000 employees globally over the past year, she said it remains unclear if any Pakistan-based employees were affected. She also revealed ongoing efforts to convert Microsoft's liaison office into a full operational setup in Pakistan and hinted at Google's potential entry into the local market. During the session of the NA body, Etisalat Group's Bamtaref underscored strong UAE-Pakistan ties and added that the group was focusing on emerging technologies like 5G and artificial intelligence. Officials from the Privatisation Commission informed the panel that PTCL's privatisation was finalised in 2006 under an international agreement, though they offered to share further details in an in-camera session. Committee members objected to the lack of prior notice for this request. PTCL officials clarified that the property agreement in question was between the Government of Pakistan and Etisalat and had no direct linkage with PTCL. The chairman postponed the agenda item to the next session and agreed to hold the upcoming meeting in-camera. On broader telecom issues, committee member Zulfiqar Ali lodged complaints about weak mobile signals in his constituency. The USF CEO assured him that the approved project would be completed. The PTA chairman also briefed the parliamentary panel on the status of Long Distance and International (LDI) operators, revealing that 9 out of 21 companies have pending license renewal cases, with over 100 related matters in court. Due to the complexity, the IT minister recommended forming a sub-committee to hear all stakeholders. The chairman agreed to this proposal. The PTA chairman confirmed that the interior ministry had ordered the suspension of internet services in Panjgur due to security concerns. He also revealed that over 100 telecom towers have been damaged in Balochistan, including three completely destroyed between July 9 and 12. Committee member Pauline Baloch emphasised the worsening law and order situation in Balochistan, noting that roads remained blocked for hours and basic services were under threat. Khawaja proposed holding a joint meeting to address these challenges.

When the baby is in the NICU, who's caring for the mom? A new model is changing that
When a newborn lands in the NICU, all eyes turn to the tiniest patient in the room. But what happens to the person still recovering from labor and delivery—especially if they're battling physical complications or mental health challenges while sitting beside an incubator? Dr. Heather Burris, a neonatologist and senior fellow at the University of Pennsylvania's Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI), noticed a disturbing pattern. 'In my job, I encounter parents choosing to stay with their babies in the NICU instead of seeking their own health care,' she said. Even when a mother has a potentially serious condition like postpartum hypertension or a surgical site infection, 'they must leave their baby's bedside and go to the closest emergency room, requiring separation from their baby to get care.' It's a gap in postpartum care that's hiding in plain sight. Related: 5 reasons why NICU parents might be more susceptible to depression and anxiety My daughter was born six weeks early and spent 10 days in the NICU. Even though her condition was stable, that stretch of time remains one of the most harrowing experiences of my life. There is nothing that can prepare you for seeing your tiny baby hooked up to machines helping them breathe—a vivid reminder of how fragile new life can be. In the days that followed her birth, I was battling more than exhaustion. I experienced symptoms of postpartum PTSD, but no one seemed to notice—not my loved ones, and not my medical team. I kept showing up at her bedside, putting on a brave face, even as I felt myself unraveling inside. Looking back, I wish one of the nurses or doctors had asked how I was doing, not just how she was. It might have saved me months of silent suffering. Related: When my youngest daughter was in the NICU, I felt like I was failing both of my kids A new randomized controlled trial, published in American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology Maternal-Fetal Medicine on May 5, 2025, is reimagining how care is delivered to these parents—by embedding it right where they are. The Postpartum Care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PeliCaN) model brings doulas and nurse-midwives directly into the NICU, helping mothers access the care they urgently need without leaving their baby's side. 'Several of our control participants never had their blood pressure checked after they left the hospital after giving birth, even though they had telehealth visits,' Burris noted. In contrast, the 20 parents who received the PeliCaN intervention got care a median of 20 days earlier than the control group. They were also far less likely to miss vital components of postpartum care, like blood pressure checks. The doulas—deployed within the first week postpartum—offered both emotional and physical support. 'Doulas interact with mothers at least once in person, and follow up via phone, text, and video chat,' Burris explained. 'They help mothers overcome barriers to postpartum care.' That support made a meaningful difference. While nearly all study participants eventually received some form of postpartum care, Burris emphasized, '30% of controls were missing a core component of postpartum care, most often blood pressure measurements in the setting of telehealth visits.' Related: 5 ways I became a better labor & delivery nurse by being a NICU mama And in some cases, the intervention may have been life-saving. 'We found severe hypertension even in mothers who hadn't had hypertension before. Other mothers shared suicidal ideation requiring immediate intervention. I truly believe that doulas can be lifesaving.' What's next for maternal care innovationScaling this model will take time, training, and policy support—but Burris and her team are hopeful. Integrating maternal care into NICUs isn't just about convenience; it's about survival, dignity, and supporting mothers as whole people, not just caregivers. 'Her baby was in the NICU—but no one was checking on her.' That may soon change.

‘Bold rewiring' of economy needed as Tories seek to regain trust, Stride says
'And why has he singularly failed to examine the role played by the Bank of England in causing the LDI crisis that sent gilt rates spiralling? Why has he never asked the pertinent questions of the Governor, despite the Bank since admitting that two-thirds of the gilt spike was down to them?
