| Nawaz links Balochistan situation to justice |
| QUETTA: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif Tuesday said the situation in Balochistan will improve, if the justice is made available there. Addressing a press conference here, he said the Parliament needs to be empowered, as a powerful parliament can give autonomy to the provinces, adding his party, whether in government or in opposition, will continue playing its role for the supremacy of law. Nawaz said the dictatorship has once and for all been buried and despotic approach is not at all acceptable. National Party parliamentarians President Sardar Sanaullah Zehri and former Governor Balochistan Abdul Qadir Baloch announced to join the party on the occasion. Sanaullah Zehri and Abdul Qadir Baloch said it is only Nawaz Sharif who could win for Balochistan what it deserves. Earlier, National Party Senior Vice President Senator Hasil Bazenjo and former Supreme Court Bar Association Ali Ahmed Kurd called on the PML-N chief. Later on talking to media, Bazenjo said the situation in the province is miserable and the government writ is nowhere seen, adding if the people continue to go missing, the situation will go from bad to worse. He added that he talked to Nawaz regarding the missing persons, adding Sharif has assured him to raise the issue. Ali Ahmed Kurd said the province is on fire at the time and over thousand people have gone missing; however, he hoped that Nawaz’s Balochistan visit would help to change the thought prevalent in the province. |

| Squeegees ready for 3-month Burj window-clean |
| DUBAI: An Australian company has described the epic task of cleaning the windows of the world''s biggest skyscraper in Dubai, using squeegees, buckets -- and 7.3 million US dollars of high-tech equipment. Dale Harding, general manager of Cox Gomyl, said the firm designed and installed the Burj Khalifa''s unique window-cleaning carousels which were in action ahead of its official opening this week. Twelve machines weighing 13 tonnes carry up to 36 cleaners, who use ordinary soapy water to wash down the Burj''s 24,830 reflective windows in a process that takes three months, top to bottom. "It''s the same as an average shop front cleaner would use -- there''s nothing complex about it at all," he said. The cleaners stand on the specially designed machines, which emerge from cavities in the skyscraper and track along rails skirting its curved towers. He said the company had been working overtime to get the 828-metre (2,717-foot) building gleaming for Monday''s extravagant opening ceremony. "It''s an enormous challenge. The architects had some fairly high expectations," Harding said. "It''s an iconic building with high exposure. They wanted it as clean as possible, particularly for the opening. There have been some fairly tight deadlines over the past few months." He said the Burj, which towers over the Dubai desert, has 120,000 square metres of glass (1,292,500 square feet) and 45,000 square metres of aluminium and stainless steel panels. "It''s an incredible construction. People are focusing on the height of the building but the sheer size of it, the footprint, is huge. It''s really 10-15 conventional buildings," Harding said. |
