  • NTDC assures uninterrupted power supply during holy month of Ramzan

    NTDC assures uninterrupted power supply during holy month of Ramzan

    The National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) has announced its commitment to ensuring uninterrupted power supply throughout the country during the forthcoming holy month of Ramzan, scheduled to commence in mid-March. 

    Directed by Managing Director Engr. Dr Rana Abdul Jabbar Khan, the government-supported power transmission entity is diligently executing its comprehensive maintenance programme for NTDC transmission lines and grid stations to ensure continuous electricity provision to the populace.

    In a statement to the media on Wednesday, an NTDC spokesperson outlined the ongoing maintenance regimen, which includes washing, cleaning, and the replacement of disc insulation, among other essential tasks undertaken by respective NTDC formations.

    These efforts, the spokesperson emphasised, aim to bolster the reliability of transmission lines and grid stations, thereby guaranteeing uninterrupted power supply during Ramzan.

    As part of the programme, planned shutdowns have been scheduled for 500 kV and 220 kV transmission line circuits in the southern region. During these shutdowns, activities such as insulator cleaning, washing, tightening of nuts and bolts, and replacement of disc insulators with RTV-coated disc insulators on the red, yellow, and blue phases are being carried out.

    The spokesperson provided detailed statistics, noting that a total of 73,493 disc insulators were washed and cleaned at 459 locations, while 9,804 disc insulators were replaced at 55 locations. 

    Additionally, over 688 braces and 570 nuts and bolts were installed. Notably, at the 220 kV grid station Jhampir-1, two damaged disc insulator strings were replaced alongside the installation of two healthy EMCO-Make disc insulator strings.

    Supervising the maintenance programme is the General Manager (Asset Management-South), who ensures adherence to the schedule. The NTDC managing director has expressed appreciation for the performance of the involved transmission line divisions and urged the timely completion of maintenance work.

    The proactive measures undertaken by NTDC underscore its dedication to providing essential services, particularly during significant periods such as Ramzan, when uninterrupted power supply is paramount for communities across the nation.

  • Dead politicians come back to life for Indian elections

    Dead politicians come back to life for Indian elections

    Dead Indian politicians are coming back to life with the help of artificial intelligence as the election is around the corner in the country.

    As election campaigns are underway, certain political contenders are resorting to resurrecting dead politicians to appeal to the public. In January, M Karunanidhi, Indian writer and politician, made an appearance during a live assembly via projected screen, and congratulated his “82-year-old friend and fellow politician” TR Baalu on the launch of his autobiographical book.

    Karunanidhi, who died in 2018, has been resurrected thrice as of yet.

    Deep fake speeches have also been used to highlight his son’s achievements, MK Stalin, who is leading the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party.

    This development raises profound questions about the ethical and legal implications of using AI to resurrect deceased individuals and ascribe opinions to them.

    The decision to utilise AI for elections has multiple downsides such as lack of authenticity, ethics etc.

  • Mohammad Hafeez parts ways with Pakistan Cricket Board

    Mohammad Hafeez parts ways with Pakistan Cricket Board

    Muhammad Hafeez’s role as Director of Cricket has ended after an administrative change in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

    According to the sources of Geo News, Muhammad Hafeez has been given a clear message by the board’s top officials that his services will not be required in the near future.

    The former batsman left for the Australia tour in December 2023 as director of cricket, but before the New Zealand tour was over, PCB management committee chief Zaka Ashraf resigned from his post.

    The manner in which Hafeez operated under Zaka Ashraf’s chairmanship was a cause of great concern to some board officials, the first practical example of which was seen at the end of the tour, when he met Acting Chairman PCB.

    After that, Hafeez was not given a platform on the detailed media briefing of the tour, after which it was reported that Chief Executive Salman Naseer and International Director Usman Wahla had developed reservations. The latest escalation in the situation came when, according to reports, Hafeez could not meet the new Chairman PCB Mohsin Raza Naqvi despite efforts to see him.

    After repeatedly contacting Nabila and Director Media Alia Rashid in the Chairman’s office, he could not get an encouraging response. Now he has received a clear message from Chief Executive Salman Naseer that the chairman does not seem willing to give him more time as a director and wants to have a foreign coaching staff with a different mindset.
