ISLAMABAD: The ceramic tiles and glass industries have expressed concern over proposed duty cuts on imports of ceramic tiles and glass products. Talking to a selected group of journalists on Saturday, Atif Iqbal, Secretary General of the All Pakistan Ceramic Tiles Manufacturers Association (APCTMA), said that as the Federal Budget 2026-27 approaches, stakeholders of Pakistan’s ceramic tiles industry have urged policymakers to protect domestic manufacturing from premature tariff reductions under the National Tariff Policy (NTP) 2025-30. Similarly, the Pakistan Glass Manufacturers Association (PGMA) has raised serious concerns over the deteriorating condition of the domestic glass manufacturing sector, warning that any reduction in import duties on finished glass products could push the industry towards complete closure. In a communication addressed to the Ministry of Industries and Production, the PGMA stated that the glass sector is already operating at only 50pc of its installed capacity, while the remaining production lines have been shut down due to prevailing economic challenges and adverse business conditions. The PGMA has therefore urged the government to maintain the existing tariff structure on imported finished glass products and adopt policies aimed at industrial revival, higher capacity utilisation and investment retention. In this regard, domestic tiles industry has made representations to the prime minister, finance minister and commerce minister to save the ceramic tiles industry from total closure. The APCTMA has warned that the sector is already facing severe challenges and that any further reduction in customs duties on imported ceramic tiles could jeopardise the survival of local manufacturers. Stakeholders believe that maintaining the current tariff regime on imported finished ceramic tiles is necessary to prevent further erosion of domestic manufacturing capacity and to enable the industry to recover from existing economic challenges. According to the APCTMA, Pakistan’s ceramic tiles sector is currently operating at nearly 50pc of its installed production capacity, with a significant number of production lines remaining shut down due to high energy costs, elevated financing rates, excessive taxation, declining purchasing power and a prolonged economic slowdown. Industry stakeholders maintain that domestic manufacturers are already operating under substantial cost disadvantages compared to foreign competitors, who benefit from lower energy tariffs, cheaper financing, supportive industrial policies and better infrastructure. Experts believe that reducing tariffs without first addressing these structural disadvantages would expose local manufacturers to unfair competition and may accelerate the decline of domestic industry.

A Nepali mountaineer who survived nearly a week on Mount Everest said he “chewed ice” to stay alive, as he recovered in a hospital after a miraculous rescue that stunned the climbing community. Dawa Sherpa, 57, disappeared in brutal conditions on the upper slopes of the world’s tallest mountain on May 30 during one of the final climbs of the spring season. With few climbers still on the peak and his oxygen exhausted, relatives had given up hope and begun ritual mourning prayers, believing he had died on the mountain. “I didn’t think I would be alive,” he told BBC Nepali on Friday from his hospital bed. “I thought I would perish this way. I didn’t get lost. As the oxygen ran out, I fell behind. After the oxygen finished, I couldn’t walk.” Left stranded in freezing temperatures near Everest’s “death zone”, where oxygen levels are critically low, Dawa Sherpa said he survived for days with almost no food or water. “I didn’t eat anything for the first two days. Then I began chewing ice. It hurt my teeth. I chewed the ice hard,” he said. He survived on a few chocolates and snacks he found in his pockets. “I soaked them in water and had them,” he said. Dawa Sherpa, also known as “Hillary” after legendary climber Edmund Hillary, had told others after his rescue that at one point he fell into a crevasse before managing to climb out. Jubilation and anger “Stepping on the snow, I stood up and looked above … It felt I could get out from there,” he said. “I then looked for ropes and found one. Then I held on to it and walked … eventually I came down.” He said he walked day and night towards base camp until finally encountering people almost a week later. He was found crawling towards the base camp on the morning of June 4 by the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), a Nepali team that helps set routes on Everest and clean up waste left behind. “Boys from SPCC were going up to collect the waste. I met them. They carried me down.” He was flown to Kathmandu for treatment for frostbite, severe dehydration and a fractured thigh bone, doctors said. “He is doing well. We had a chat,” his daughter Mendo Lhamu Sherpa told AFP. His survival has sparked celebration among fellow climbers, but also anger from family members who accused rescue teams of failing to locate him sooner. Nepal Mountaineering Association president Fur Gelje Sherpa called the survival extraordinary but said the incident highlighted serious concerns over climber safety. “It is irresponsible and inhumane to leave a person behind,” he said. “I believe that an investigation committee must be formed to hold the responsible people accountable for this.” Everest guide Rinji Sherpa, who comes from the same village as Dawa Sherpa, said the climber was highly experienced and familiar with the dangers of high-altitude mountaineering. “He is very lucky, he has had several close calls before but he has survived,” he said. At least five climbers — two Indians and three Nepalis — died during this year’s Everest season. More than 1,000 climbers reached Everest’s summit this season, according to preliminary Nepali government figures, making it the busiest season on record.

The family of a Nepali climber who dragged himself off Mount Everest six days after being abandoned called for an investigation into rescue efforts, as doctors said on Friday he is in a stable condition and recovering in hospital. Mountaineer Dawa Sherpa, 57, vanished in bitter conditions on the upper reaches of the world’s highest mountain early on May 30. His family thought he was dead and had even begun ritual mourning prayers. He was found crawling towards Base Camp on Thursday morning by the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), a Nepali team that helps set routes on Everest and clean up waste left behind. Dawa Sherpa, also known as “Hillary” after the famed climber Edmund Hillary, was flown to the capital Kathmandu, where he is being treated for frostbite on his fingers, a fractured thigh bone and severe dehydration, doctors said. “His clinical condition remains stable, and his dehydration is showing significant improvement,” said Jyotindra Sharma, director of the HAMS Hospital in Kathmandu. He said Dawa Sherpa had survived “extremely challenging conditions” on Everest. “He will remain in the [intensive care unit] for a few more days for ongoing care and observation,” Sharma said in a statement. His remarkable survival was greeted with jubilation by his family, who also said they were angry at what they described as the failure of rescue teams to locate him earlier. His wife, Damu Sherpa, told AFP of her joy when she was sent a photograph as he was flown to the capital. “I do not remember how this week went — we thought he was no more, and had already begun his last rites,” she said as she waited to meet him outside the hospital’s ICU. “I was so surprised when I saw the photos and recognised him — he was still wearing a cap I knitted for him.” ‘Angry’ The climb was one of the last of the season, meaning that there were few other mountaineers on the peak. His wife accused the expedition company of failing to deploy search teams in time. “There should be some investigation against the company — they delayed search and rescue for him,” she said. Karma Gyalje Sherpa, a relative who is also an Everest guide, questioned whether more action would have been taken sooner if a high-paying foreigner had been lost on the icy peak. “It is a miracle that he survived in that environment, without eating properly for six days,” he told AFP while waiting at the hospital. “The situation does make me feel angry,” he said. “We don’t know, but if he were a foreigner, maybe the response would be different?” Everest guide Rinji Sherpa, from the same village as Dawa Sherpa, said he was a man who knew the dangers of the mountains well and would do all he could to support his clients. “He is very loyal to his clients, and diligent with making sure he performs his responsibility,” he said. “He is very lucky, he has had several close calls before — but he has survived.” At least five people have died this season — two Indians and three Nepali climbers — on Everest expeditions. More than 1,000 climbers reached the summit of Everest this season, according to initial tallies by Nepali officials, making it the busiest on record.
