Foreword

Social and economic development of a country has strong correlationwith efficiency of means of transportation. An efficient and affordablemeans of transport and communications lowers the domesticproduction cost, integrates markets, promotes economicopportunities and establishes links among the people leading tonational economic growth. Availability of an efficient transport andcommunications network is a prerequisite for a meaningful economiccooperation amongst nations, particularly in trade and tourism forattracting foreign investment and realizing the potential gains from an outwardoriented trade strategy. Enhanced export competitiveness is also contingent upon theefficient performance of the sector. The transport & communications sector generatesa large number of employment opportunities, and acts as a significant tool in thefight against poverty. The sector is also a major contributor to government’s revenuethrough taxes and duties on its production and imports, fees on ownership &operation of vehicles and licensing of modern communications facilities. Sustainableeconomic development is dependent on a robust and low cost transport system.

Central policy making, international aspects of road and road transport andadministrative authority on Communications and Transport Sector in the Country isbeing dealt with by Ministry of Communications at federal level. It is performing itsfunctions through its departments namely National Highway Authority (NHA),National Highways and Motorway Police (NH & MP), Construction TechnologyTraining Institute (CTTI) National Transport Research Center (NTRC) and PakistanPost Office department

NHA is responsible for development, operation, maintenance & preservation of thenational highway network. The NHA is committed to implementing a comprehensiveand modern transport and logistics sector through continuous reforms in all of itssub sectors. Its mission is to secure delivery of efficient, reliable, safe & environmentfriendly national highway network. NHA network plays a major role in the all-weatherreliability, reduced transportation costs and increased access to markets for localproduce and products, access to new employment centers, employment of localworkers, better access to health care and other social services, strengthening of localeconomies, etc.

National Highways and Motorway Police is contributing to ensure safety, security andrule of law on our national highways and motorways. It is now recognized as one ofthe most efficient departments of Pakistan. It has expanded its role to driver trainingand licensing as well along with its core function of enforcement of law on roads.

National Transport Research Centre is striving to achieve self-sufficiency in the fieldsof Transport Planning, Road Engineering and Road Safety through indigenous R&Dwork. Valuable inputs have been provided by the Centre for informed and researchbased policy decision making

CTTI is doing wonders in providing high-quality education and training that supportstudent goals, a skilled workforce, and the economic vitality of our communities.They are fostering a diverse educational community and learning environment byproviding an open and welcoming culture that supports successful completion oftransfer, career/technical education, and basic skills development. They havedemonstrated commitment to academic excellence that is career-oriented educationby teaching applied, industry-current programs in selected areas, serving the needsof students for employment and career advancement and the needs of industry forhighly qualified professionals at associate levels.

Pakistan post is one of the most ancient departments. It dates back to pre partitionperiod. However unfortunately there has been slow induction of latest technologicaladvances. The need for policy, laws and rules that can address contemporary issueswas long being felt. The initiatives in this direction have now been taken

The year book contains the glimpses of all the above stated efforts.

A symbolic send off ceremony was also held atIslamabad on 29th September 2010 under arrangements of Ministry ofCommunications in which diplomatic corps of Member States, foreigndignitaries of international organizations, businessmen and officials of theconcerned Ministries / Departments were invited. After traversing thoughdifferent ECO Member States, this Caravan has finally culminated atIstanbul (Republic of Turkey) on 29th October 2010 after about a monthstraveling. This trial run would enable Pakistani Traders / Transporters totransship their goods within the ECO Region under the framework ofTransit Transport Framework Agreement (TTFA). Now efforts are being madeto start regular operation of transport activities within ECO Region.

A Bilateral Agreement on Road Transport between Pakistan and Turkey wassigned on 15th June, 2003. This Agreement could not be operationalizedearlier due to non availability of transit through the territory of IslamicRepublic of Iran.

(Strategic location of Pakistan showing significance of NHA)

Introduction to NHA

The highways built by provincial highway departments were those which were built inaround early 1960's & 70’s and were inherited by NHA. These were generally narrow,single-lane, surface-treated roads built without any standard design criterion orspecifications. This coupled with high degree of traffic congestion due to rapidurbanization, poor and neglected maintenance, virtually non-existent drainagesystem, inappropriate road signage; etc., resulted in alarming number of accidents.

First serious effort to construct highways in Pakistan started with the construction ofSuper Highway between Karachi and Hyderabad in late 1960s. However, it was only in1978 that the GoP decided to federalize important inter-provincial roads. Theerstwhile National Highway Board (NHB) was then created for development andmaintenance of the federalized roads, which were named as "National Highways".

NHA was created through an Act of the Parliament, in 1991. The mission statement ofthe Authority is,

"to plan, promote, organize and implement programs forconstruction, development operation, repairs and maintenanceof National Highways and Strategic Roads specially entrusted

to it by the Federal Government, or by a Provincial Governmentor other authority concerned".

NHA is also according special attention to the improvement of existing road networkby making the roads as safe and comfortable as possible within the given resources.Under Annual Maintenance Plan launched during last three years Rs. 40 Billion hasbeen allocated for Rehabilitation & Periodic Maintenance of road network with amission to improve average road roughness from 5.3 IRI to 4.2 IRI. The Public PrivatePartnership Projects undertaken during last year have changed the holistic look of

road infrastructure financing. NHA has embarked on the path of self-sustenancerather than dependence on external financing such as Cash Development loan orloans from donor agencies. Previously NHB at best handled a budget of Rs 50 Billionand that too only in the last couple of years. However, NHA's PSDP allocation for FY2015-16 has been enhanced to more than Rs 159 Billion.

NHA Network

Pakistan is on the crossroad of most effective, economical and viable transit routesviable throughout the seasons to the land locked Central Asian Countries and otherneighboring countries providing trade corridor. World Bank estimates that poorperformance of the transport sector is costing Pakistan about five percent of its GDP.Furthermore thirty percent of agriculture output is currently wasted due to itsinefficient farm to market channels, lack of cold storage facilities and an obsoleteunderpowered trucking fleet. Pakistan's total road network is around 263,775 Kmswhich carries over 96 percent of inland freight and 92 percent of passenger traffic.

(Roadmap of Highways, Motorways and Expressway)

NHA is custodian of 39 national highways / motorways / expressway / strategicroutes having a total length of 12,131 kms. It is 4.6% of total national road networki.e. 263,775 kms, however, it carries 80% of commercial traffic and N-5 which isblood-line of Pakistan, carries 65% of this load in the country.Present highway network is under immense pressure and not adequate to meet therequirements, which are growing at a fast pace. Consolidation, preservation andimprovement of the existing highway asset are now essentially needed. Gradualextension of the network is also equally important to develop remote areas for betterconnection between the economic centers of Pakistan, inter-provincial harmony andalso cross-border transport and personal mobility of the masses.

Underthe

provisions of

Article10(2)

(vii) ofthe NHA

Act1991,

theAuthority is

empowered to levy and collect toll on national highways. The contents of this articleare reproduced below:-

The Powers of the Authority:

(1) The Authority may take such measures and exercise such powers,as it considers necessary or expedient for carrying out thepurposes of this Act.

(2) Without prejudice to the generality of the powers conferred by Sub-section (1), the Authority may for the purpose of carrying out thepurpose of this Act ---

(vii) Levy, collect or cause to be collected tolls on nationalhighways, strategic roads and such other roads as maybe entrusted to it and bridges thereon;

Construction, rehabilitation maintenance and preservation of the highway network isan extremely costly proposition. Since its inception the yearly allocation, which NHAhas been receiving for maintenance has throughout remained not even 5% of theactual annual need. This shortfall coupled with the ever-increasing maintenancebacklog factor performed the functions of a catalyst in hastening up the desire inNHAs policy makers towards self-reliance commencing with broadening of therevenue collection base.

Highway Safety and Convenience

Pakistan is a developing country goingthrough various phases of economicdevelopment. Rapid growth of bothpopulation and economic activity resultingin increasing number of vehicles has ledto overall traffic congestion on roadsresulting in frequent trafficaccidents. While in developed andindustrialized countries,development of 3Es (Engineering,Education and Enforcement) have improvedtraffic safety situation, this aspect inPakistan is fast deteriorating.

Achieving the best possible flow of vehiclesby better traffic management and seeking integrated transport solutions throughclose liaison and extensive consultation with the local administration, community

Need of safe roads

and public representatives are the essentially needed components of a safe,comfortable and convenient road network. Moreover, educating and encouragingpeople to be more considerate of other road users while sharing the road network andto better understand traffic management facilities are also equally important factors.

1. PAKISTAN POST– HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

Pakistan Post is one of the oldest Federal Government Departments with over

one hundred and sixty years of history in the collection and delivery service. After

independence in 1947, Pakistan Post started its operations under a modified Post Office

Act No.VI of 1898 as a combined Posts and Telegraphs Department to provide domestic as

well as international postal and allied services at an affordable cost on equitable basis and

at standards capable of meeting needs and requirements of the postal clientele. The main

focus always remains on providing reliable, fast and cost effective services to the

customers in every nook and corner of the country as well as globally.

The history of Pakistan postage stamps starts with the first postage stamp of

Indo-Pak known as “Scinde Dawk Stamp” which was the first Asian Stamp issued by the

province of Sindh now forming a part of Pakistan. The stamps were used in the province

until October, 1854.

At the time of independence, Pakistan Post had no proper arrangements for

printing postage stamps, so British Indian stamps both ordinary and service were

introduced after overprinting the words “PAKISTAN”, on 1st October, 1947. On 9th July,

1948, Pakistan Post brought out a set of first four Pakistan Postage stamps with the words

‘PAKISTAN ZINDABAD”.

Pakistan joined the Universal Postal Union (UPU) which is a Specialized

Agency of the United Nations as its 89th member on 10th November, 1947. The total

membership of the UPU at present stands over 190 countries of the world.

In 1959, All-up scheme for first class mail was launched. However, due to

administrative reasons the Posts and Telegraphs Department was bifurcated into two

separate and independent Departments on 1st July, 1962 known as Pakistan Post Office

Department and Telephone and Telegraph Departments under the control of the Ministry of

Communications, Government of Pakistan.

In 1992-93, Pakistan Post Office Department was transformed Into a statutory

Corporation known as “Pakistan Postal Services Corporation” with the seminal imperatives

of infusing it with a commercial ethos, which were stifling its growth and providing

autonomy to regulate its tariff in accordance with the cost of service and also to generate

enough funds for financing its development activities. However, in 1996, the status of

Pakistan Postal Services Corporation was withdrawn and the Corporation reverted back

into Pakistan Post Office Department as an attached Department of the Ministry of

Communications. In November, 2008, the Pakistan Post Office Department (PPOD) was

detached from the Ministry of Communications and was placed under the administrative

control of the newly created Ministry of Postal Services. In June, 2013 the Ministry of Postal

Services was abolished and the PPOD was again placed back under the administrative

control of Ministry of Communications as an attached Department.

Pakistan Postal Services Management Board was established for the

management of Pakistan Post Office Department through Pakistan Postal Services

Management Board Ordinance, 2002 promulgated on 15th November 2002. The Board is a

corporate body having perpetual succession and a common seal with power, subject to the

provision of the said Ordinance, to acquire hold and dispose of its property both movable and

immovable and shall by its name sue and be sued. The Board comprises one Chairman and

eight members as given below:-

15. PHILATELIC SERVICES

Postage stamps play an important role and have an educational, recreational and

investment value. They are educative because philately enriches one’s knowledge, education,

literature, history, culture, religion, politics, science, sports, geography and so on. The study of

postage stamps is also a relaxing and amusing hobby. The postage stamp is also an

ambassador capable of strengthening the bonds of friendship between peoples, and

contributes to economic, social and political prosperity. It publicizes the image and name of its

country of origin. Viewed from the collectors (or philatelists) point of view, speculation is

sometimes a powerful inducement to them in building their collections, since old stamps

acquire a value for exceeding their face value. Last but not least, philately brings in substantial

revenue to postal administrations and this provides the incentive for postal administrations to

promote philately.

16. Philately in Pakistan

Issuance of commemorative stamps on various important National and

International events is another significant but a regular feature of Pakistan Post. During the last

and so on and so forth.
