Senate Standing Committee calls for forensic audit of IPPs

by
IPPs

ISLAMABAD: The Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat has decided to conduct a forensic audit of the Independent Power Producers(IPPs).

A meeting of Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat was held under the chairmanship of Rana Mehmoodul Hassan, in which a briefing was given to the committee on behalf of National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) Chairman Waseem Mukhtar.

Chairman NEPRA said that it is the most difficult task to establish a balance between the government, the electricity company and the consumers. Now the new power generation plants are not being imported , the commercial market has started opening by October and November. The consumer will be allowed to get electricity from the company of his choice.

Waseem Mukhtar said that we all made a mistake, there was a shortage of electricity after 2007, in 2013-14, power plants were built with Chinese assistance, we thought that GDP would remain at 6 percent, we added electricity based on this calculation.

He said that due to power shortage, “We had given incentives to the companies, we had given incentives in dollars to the companies setting up the plants, the value of our rupee is not stable, so the investor asks for payment in dollars”.

He said that the price of electricity will not increase if the government gives confidence to the investors and keeps the economic conditions stable.

Senator Abdul Qadir said that IPPs made money by over-pricing and power producers have made money in 10 years.  The forensic audit should be conducted and it should also be closely monitored.

Who Was Clarence Clemons? All About the ‘Big Man’

by
Clarence Clemons
  • Clarence Clemons was an American saxophonist.
  • He received his first saxophone as a Christmas gift.
  • He is best known for his work with the E Street Band.

Clarence Clemons, known as the “Big Man,” was an American saxophonist whose soulful sound became synonymous with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. His contributions to rock music left an enduring legacy, with his saxophone solos becoming some of the most iconic moments in Springsteen’s catalog. But Clemons’ influence stretched far beyond his role in the band, making him a beloved figure in the world of music.

Early Life of Clarence Clemons

Born on January 11, 1942, in Norfolk County, Virginia, Clarence Clemons grew up with a deep passion for music. He received his first saxophone as a Christmas gift when he was just nine years old, sparking a lifelong love affair with the instrument. While he was also a talented football player during his high school years, a car accident dashed his hopes of an NFL career, steering him back towards music, where he would ultimately find his true calling.

Making History with Bruce Springsteen

Clemons’ life took a transformative turn in 1971 when he met Bruce Springsteen. A year later, he joined Springsteen’s band, which soon became the legendary E Street Band. Clemons’ saxophone work added a unique, powerful element to the band’s sound, with unforgettable solos on tracks like “Born to Run,” “Thunder Road,” and “Jungleland.” His contributions helped shape the anthems of a generation, cementing his place in the annals of rock history.

Beyond E Street Band

While Clemons is best known for his work with the E Street Band, his talents didn’t stop there. He pursued a solo career, releasing albums that showcased his range and versatility. His 1985 hit “You’re a Friend of Mine,” a duet with Jackson Browne, became a beloved anthem. Clemons also collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Aretha Franklin, Joe Cocker, and Lady Gaga, proving his ability to cross musical genres with ease.

Legacy of Clarence Clemons

Clarence Clemons’ impact wasn’t limited to music; he also made his mark in film, television, and literature. His book, “Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales,” offered a glimpse into his life and the stories behind the music. Tragically, in June 2011, Clemons suffered a stroke and passed away a few days later at the age of 69. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy continues to resonate through the timeless music he helped create and the countless lives he touched along the way.
