  • PTI rally in Karachi calls for immediate release of Imran Khan
    Dawn - 04:13 May 12, 2025
    KARACHI: Terming their imprisoned leader “a symbol of resistance”, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) workers organised a big rally in the metropolis on Sunday and demanded that party founder and former prime minister Imran Khan be released forthwith. The participants also condemned the Indian aggression, calling it a blatant provocation and a violation of international norms. The rally, which began from the party office called Insaf House on Sharea Faisal, drew a large number of PTI workers and supporters from different parts of the city. However, when the rally reached near the Finance & Trade Centre (FTC), it found the city administration and police blocked the main road leading to the ‘Red Zone’ by parking police mobiles and water tankers on Sharea Faisal. The closure of the road caused a massive traffic jam. Consequently, the PTI rally had to change its route, made a left turn towards Kala Pul and reached Nishan-i-Pakistan near Seaview via DHA. Party leaders and activists condemn Indian aggression, celebrate...

    • KWSC fails to restore normal supply in several localities despite repair of line ruptured on KU campus • Residents complain no water for 12 days • Utility spokesperson claims supply to city restored, areas getting water on schedule KARACHI: While Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has recently taken notice of the water crisis and instructed the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) to restore normal supply, several localities in all the seven districts of Karachi have still been facing a severe water crisis since the leakage of an 84-inch main on Karachi University campus on April 29. Despite the completion of the repair work on the ruptured line, water woes of the people across the city have yet to come to an end as restoration of normal supply to the affected areas has been delayed due to filling of the repaired line with water under low pressure. Although the CM had directed the KWSC to restore normal water supply from Saturday, sources in the KWSC said that it might take several more days ...

  • ‘Where’s my sindoor?’ Wife of captured BSF trooper asks Indian govt
    Dawn - 03:51 May 12, 2025
    NEW DELHI: The guns of India and Pakistan have fallen silent after the announcement of a ceasefire that paused the hostilities kicked off by India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ on May 7. The ceasefire announced on Saturday allayed the fears of broader escalation but the wife of an Indian Border Security Force (BSF) trooper captured by Pakistan last month is perturbed about her husband. She has asked her government if her ‘sindoor’ would be returned. Sindoor is a vermilion mark worn mostly by rural Hindu women in their hair parting to depict their marital status. Indian news publication The Wire reported that the family of 34-year-old Purnam Sau in Rishra, West Bengal, was hoping diplomatic efforts would help his return. Sau, posted with the 24th Battalion of the BSF in Firozpur, Punjab, was deployed along the India-Pakistan border on April 23, when he assisted local farmers in evacuating a vulnerable zone and reportedly crossed the international boundary inadvertently. The event took place at a time when tensions wer...
