President Dr Arif Alvi on Friday signed into law the Pakistan Single Window Bill 2021 and Senate Secretariat Services (Amendment) Bill 2021. Under the Pakistan Single Window Act, an independent institution having a governing council and secretariat would be established for the facilitation of national and international trade. The new law will provide a coordinated one-window system to facilitate exports, imports and transit trade. Establishment of an independent institution, besides reducing the cost of doing business, will also help ease cross border trade and transportation of goods. The institution will also help in timely processing of data and bring about improvement in the provision of quality services.

ISLAMABAD: As the Senate met on Monday for its first regular session of a new parliamentary year, Leader of Opposition Yusuf Raza Gilani vowed to carry with him the entire opposition and also become voice of the government, whereas the PML-N pledged to play its independent role as a real opposition.
The new session was marred by loud charges and counter-charges from some senators of the opposition benches and those in the treasury, who had apparently supported Gilani to become opposition leader. The opposition was divided, mainly into two groups and hence the PDM internal rift reached the Senate. There was a strong demand from the PML-N for investigation into the installation of spy cameras during the Senate elections of chairman and deputy chairman.
