In a recent meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on Food Security, a humorous misunderstanding occurred when members confused the acronym 'CAMELL' with actual camels. As reported by ProPakistani on February 12, 2026, the committee was reviewing the Community Action Plan for Management of Sustainable Ecosystem, Livelihoods and Livelihood (CAMELL) initiative aimed at Tharparkar. However, the discussion veered off course for about 15 minutes as participants mistakenly believed the project was about camel conservation. Committee Chairman Masroor Ahsan initiated the discussion by questioning the measures in place to protect camels, expressing dissatisfaction with the ministry's lack of detailed information. Senator Danesh Kumar humorously pointed out the confusion over the spelling, while Minister of State Malik Rashid assured that efforts to improve camel breeding were ongoing. The mix-up was eventually clarified by a member of the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC), who explained the true nature of the CAMELL project, leading to laughter and a return to the intended agenda.
