INTRODUCTION:

 

Sukkur lot with 5 districts and 24 tehsils, covers the area in the North-Eastern part of Sind province, covering roughly 25% of the total area of Sind. This lot shares borders with India in the East and Punjab province in the North-Eastern side. On the North-Western side this lot borders with 4 districts of Sind – Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Larkana and Dadu. On the Southern side, two more Sind districts share border with this lot – Hyderabad and Sanghar.

Sukkur lot covers areas which are very close to international boundary between India and Pakistan. Some of these areas are seasonally populated.

In some cases, the Population Census Organization has published population of muza equal to '0' or '-' or below 100 persons. In fact, the growth rate of these muza is negative as the mortality and migration rates are higher as compared to fertility in these areas, so that after implementation of growth rate formula, the population of these muza fall into '0' or '-' or <100 inhabitants. In real situation the population of muza having the stated signs is counted as population below 100 persons (PCO, 1998).

The notice for inviting bids to provide services in Sukkur lot was given on October 25, 2007. In response, CM Pak, PMCL (Mobilink), PTCL, Telenor and Warid submitted their bids.

A subsidy of Rs. 112 Million is being provided to Mobilink for this rural telecom project.
