پاکستان کی بیوروکریسی کتنی طاقتور اور منہ زور بن چکی ہے وہ اس اسکرین شاٹ سے اندازہ لگا لیں کہ ڈی سی کوئٹہ کس طرح رکن قومی اسمبلی کو دھمکی دے رہے ہیں جبکہ عادل بازئی نے یہ معاملہ آج قومی اسمبلی میں بھی اٹھایا اور اسپیکر سے نوٹس لینے کا مطالبہ کیا۔۔

HuK Sahib, while in Pakistan, constitutional amendments can be easily made. However, pivotal changes require a lot of research, analysis, planning and pilot testing, etc., that usually we don't do... the results are all around...
Habibullah Khan@Huk06

October to December 2026 will be one of the most consequential times in Pakistan’s history. Aside from major postings being decided in military, it will possibly see an evolution of the political system. It will also see an attempt to pass the 28th amendment which will possibly enable the following. 1. Remove requirement of provincial consent for creating new provinces or federal territories. 2. Fix the imbalance in the NFC Award whereby provinces are off the hook for debt payments but receive money from debt taken. 3. Transferring the power to approve Governor’s Rule from Parliament to the Federal Constitutional Court. 4. Constitutionally strengthening and enforcing the local government system. 5. Taking key portfolios necessary for the nation’s future and moving them from provinces to federal. The ones I’ve heard of are education and population welfare. The focus on local government and more provinces is based on the firmly held belief at the top that a successful political system allows citizens to be able to reach elected representatives easily for their problems and hold them accountable. This also serves as a feedback loop from citizens that would inform policy that is currently missing. Local governments is one way of enabling this. More provinces is another way. The way current provinces are structured the load on the Chief Minister is too much. A reorganisation of Pakistan into say 30 provinces will allow for better service delivery. Accurate assessment of services needed. Less ethnic tensions. End of uneven resource allocation in which certain cities rise and others are forgotten. And greater accountability. Pakistan is long due for more provinces. For context, countries with similar or less populations have far more units. Turkey has 81. Nigeria has 37 states and territories. Indonesia has 38 provinces. Brazil has 28 federative units. The parties have to be careful. The patience for giving more time to negotiate this has run out, as GDP growth in provinces stagnates. Should the parties ally to stand firm on not giving ground (pun kinda intended) on this issue, the evolution of the political system could be far more progressive than they can anticipate.

@minoqtopus Regarding stop calling it SUV, this is incorrect! Re publicity stint... no, it has an adverse effect.

Do you think the Jaecoo J7 incident in Neelum Valley was a marketing stunt? Do you think it’d hurt or help the sales of J7? And considering a SMALL rock damaged the battery connector and it completely broke down the car, can we please stop calling it an SUV?

@MeFaheem Faheem Sb, there are various types of corruption according to Word Bank that is, petty corruption, grand corruption, and state corruption. So, asking this question doesn't make any sense until you clarify which type of corruption you are asking g about?

Pakistan may be witnessing one of the fastest consumer-led energy revolutions in the world. Not planned by the state. Not driven by utilities. Driven by economics. High tariffs, unreliable supply, rampant corruption and inefficiency in DISCOs, expensive diesel, and ultra-cheap solar panels have pushed millions of households, farms, factories, and businesses toward self-generation at extraordinary speed. By late 2025: • ~51.5 GW solar panels imported — nearly equal to the national grid • Yet officially registered rooftop solar only ~5.3–6.8 GW • Estimated 24+ GW already operating quietly behind the meter • Solar may now account for ~25% of actual electricity consumption This is no longer a normal energy transition. It increasingly looks like large-scale grid defection. And the real lesson is important: When the grid becomes more expensive and less reliable than self-generation, adoption can move faster than governments, utilities, and official statistics can track. The way forward is not to resist decentralisation — but to redesign the energy system around it. Pakistan urgently needs: • Drastic reduction in electricity tariffs for both grid sustainability and economic growth • Lower taxes, surcharges, and distortions in power pricing • Smart grids, storage, and transmission investment • Time-of-use pricing and wheeling reforms • Stronger domestic baseload energy security • Deep governance reform in DISCOs using technology, automation, transparency, and accountability to reduce corruption, theft, leakages, and incompetence The biggest risk is no longer electricity shortage. It is a shrinking grid trapped in a tariff spiral — where rising fixed costs are borne by a declining pool of paying consumers while industry and households continue exiting the system. Pakistan may accidentally become a global case study of how energy-poor nations leapfrog legacy systems through decentralised solar adoption at scale.
Chris Meder@EVCurveFuturist

Pakistan may be accidentally building one of the world’s first decentralised #solar economies. The craziest part? Real scale barely shows in official stats. Imported 51.5 GW solar panels by late 2025—nearly = entire grid. Yet registered net-metered rooftop solar just 5.3–6.8 GW. What makes this story so extraordinary is the speed. In only a few years, Pakistan appears to have gone from a relatively minor solar market to potentially sourcing around a quarter of its electricity from solar once distributed generation is included. 👉 ~16.6–17 GW solar imports in 2024 👉 ~18 GW solar imports in 2025 👉 ~51.5 GW cumulative imports by late 2025 👉 Rooftop solar: ~1.3 GW → 4.1 GW in 2024 👉 ~5.3–6.8 GW registered rooftop solar in 2025 👉 24+ GW estimated behind-the-meter/off-grid 👉 Solar potentially ~25% of actual electricity use The massive gap between imported panels and officially registered systems strongly suggests tens of gigawatts are now operating quietly on homes, farms, factories and businesses across the country. This increasingly looks less like a normal energy transition and more like large-scale consumer-led grid defection. And economics is driving nearly all of it. Electricity tariffs surged. Diesel prices climbed. Blackouts remained common. Meanwhile ultra-cheap Chinese solar panels and falling battery prices made self-generation economically irresistible. So millions effectively made the same calculation: Generate your own power, or remain trapped inside an expensive and unstable system. Once solar becomes cheaper than the grid itself, adoption can move faster than governments, utilities and even official statistics can keep up with. This isn’t gradual transition by any stretch. It may ultimately become a blueprint for how energy-poor nations break free from legacy old-world energy systems dominated by fossil fuels and increasingly expensive centralised power. It’s decentralisation at escape velocity. This is #Bettrification.

@Speedman2016 Sir, I know I am not blaming BRT. I just pointed out a minor problem which is very easy to solve. When traffic wardens and petrol pump staff can use gadgets to receive cash, why can’t BRT guards do the same for elderly villagers who visit only once in a while?

میں نے صبح ٹویٹ کیاکہ BRT Feeder Rout میں ٹکٹ سسٹم نہیں ہےبجائے اسکے کہ کوئی سرکاری ذمہ دار شخص احساس کرکے رپلائی کرتا۔ جنریشن زی کے درجنوں یوتھیے مجھے کاٹنے کو دوڑے کہ میں Zu app استعمال کیوں نہیں کرتا۔ یعنی انکو احساس ہی نہیں کہ آج بھی لاکھوں لوگ ایپ اور ایزی پیسہ جانتے تک نہیں
