Inspector-General National Highways and Motorways Police (NHMP), Inam Ghani recently paid a visit to the Public Service Vehicles Management Centre (PSVMC) at the Motorway (M-2) North Toll Plaza.
IG Inam Ghani presented prizes to the safest drivers on motorways/highways who did not violate any traffic rules including overspeeding, seat belt violations, lane violations while driving 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, and made strict adherence to traffic rules.
On the occasion, IG Ghani said that information technology plays a significant role in revamping the Motorway Police.
He was of the view that linking NHMP’s system with NADRA can also help in arresting prominent offenders besides feeding information regarding vehicle registration, vehicle fitness, driving licenses, and benefitting from contemporary technologies. These advancements would help boost the performance of Motorway Police.
In order to make motorways/highways safer and more convenient, the purview of information technology is being extended to facilitate motorists and encourage safe driving.
Inspector-General (IG) Inam Ghani was joined by the DIG Motorway (M-2) North, DIG Operations, Sector Commander, and other senior personnel at the event.

But, according to Cine Blitz magazine, she defended him saying “I love this man. Don’t you understand? I will back his every move and I will make him a king one day.”

This didn’t happen in a close chamber, instead, as per the Cine Blitz magazine and few other media reports, there were several onlookers present, who didn’t lift even a single finger to help the ace actress.
Sanjay summoned the actress in Mumbai, while she was shooting in Lonavala for some other project. He was furious and demanded Zeenat to leave everything at once and reshoot a portion of a song from their flick, Abdullah. But, Zeenat refused to do so, as she was busy with other work commitments. In response, Sanjay Khan accused her of being sexually involved with the makers of the film.
Naturally, Zeenat felt disrespected and she was exasperated from Sanjay’s accusations against her. In order to clear the air and talk to her ex-husband, she immediately left for Sanjay’s house. As he was partying at the Taj hotel, she decided to meet there. Zarine, Sanjay’s first wife was also present at the party. While Zeenat intended to just discuss her dates with the actor, their conversation scaled up turning the atmosphere of the party cold.
Zeenat was still not willing to make a scene, but she was unaware of what was coming next for her. Sanjay took the actress to an adjoining room, and as per a report by The Quint, he beat her up. Cine Blitz and a few media publications also claimed that every time the actress fell, Sanjay lifted her up by her hair and continued hitting her. Unfortunately, this was not it. At this point, Sussanne Khan’s mother and Sanjay’s current wife, Zarine Katrak entered the chamber and began cheering her husband on.
The news first came out when Cine Blitz, printed an article about the same. Here are some pictures from the magazine that describe the incident.
While Zeenat was being beaten up the guests of the party stood like statues, it was a worker of the hotel, who rescued Zeenat. After all this, she was in the hospital for weeks. Due to the accident, her jaw was broken, which was set right surgically. But, her beautiful eyes were never the same.
Her right eye was irreparably damaged. The worst part is, it wasn’t the first time that Sanjay had beaten his ex-wife. Zeenat’s doctor revealed to Cine Blitz, “Once before she was given a black eye and kicked in the ribs so hard that I insisted on an X-Ray for fear of a crack.”
During or after her recovery, Zeenat didn’t report Sanjay Khan to the police, because it is believed that she was still in love with him.
Interim Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has directed his party members and workers to start preparations for the next elections, expressing his hope that the poll will be held in the country in the next three months.
Addressing a function at Governor’s House in Lahore, he criticised the opposition, saying that they should be given “exemplary punishment for betraying the country”, [for tabling the no-confidence motion in NA against him]. “The PTI will also approach the Supreme Court (SC) against them [Opposition]. “
Not only this, the interim PM urged the nation to come to the F-9 Park Islamabad to protest peacefully against the Opposition and its conspiracy. He asked the nation to protest on a daily basis to send a message to the United States (US), which he claims, is behind the foreign conspiracy. “Everyone knows who has aided and abetted the Pakistani Opposition in tabling the no-confidence motion.”
According to The News, after Khan asked the nation to prepare for the next general election in three months, the understaffed Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has started finding a way to make the polls possible during the stipulated time.
Sources within the commission said that Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja has become active and making arrangements requisite for timely conduct of elections.
Earlier, a news report published in Dawn quoted an ECP official as saying that it is not possible to hold general elections within three months due to a variety of legal and procedural issues.
However, the commission denied issuing any statement regarding the time frame for the next general elections on Tuesday.
According to Fawad Chaudhry, “The [interim] prime minister has decided to give party tickets to those former 135 MNAs who remained loyal and stuck to the party till the end.”
The Indian government on Tuesday claimed to have blocked 22 YouTube channels, including four of Pakistani origin, for spreading disinformation about national security and public order, marking the country’s latest governmental crackdown.
The prohibited YouTube channels had a total of 2.6 billion visitors, according to the country’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
“Multiple YouTube channels were used to post fake news on various subjects such as the Indian Armed Forces,” a statement issued by the Indian government read.
The Indian government has started enforcing new IT rules enacted in 2021, which were targeted primarily at controlling huge social media companies and giving the government additional authority to remove content.

This unwarranted action comes after the censor board approved the film, which is why we will be [taking the matter] to the high court,” he said.

On account of monthly Fuel Cost Adjustments (FCA), the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) raised the cost per unit of power for Karachi residents by Rs1.29.
It held a public hearing at its headquarters on Karachi Electric’s (KE) request to hike the power tariff under the FCA by Rs3.45 per unit for February. Chairman Tauseef H. Farooqi chaired the public meeting, which was also attended by officials Rafiq Ahmed Sheikh and Engineer Maqsood Anwar Khan.
According to the officials, KE’s monthly FCA is decided at Rs1.29 per unit based on data analysis.
The Chairman inquired about Karachi’s load-shedding status and if KE has a gas procurement deal with the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) to address the fuel crisis.
Load management is only done on feeders with a low recovery rate, according to the latter’s officials, and consumers only have to experience one to one-and-a-half hours of load shedding every day.
Chairman Farooqui stated that KE’s technology needs to be modernised, and that there should be no load-shedding for bill-paying customers and locations where billing is timely.
He also mentioned that the NEPRA has posted phone numbers on its website for inhabitants of the city to report any forced load-shedding by any power utility.
According to the briefing delivered at the meeting, KE’s customers were charged Rs3.28 per unit in January under the FCA. Similarly, the FCA for February was decided to be Rs1.99 lesser than the January billing.
Muhamad Tanveer, who is a representative of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce (KCCI), denied the FCA, citing that customers are already paying for the January hike and that the FCA should not be transferred to them.
After reviewing the facts, the NEPRA issued a thorough judgment declaring that the FCA is only levied and set for the month in concern and that it is variable with each hearing depending on the fuel costs for that month.
