    Man and woman decide to commit suicide, man backs out after woman jumps in the river

    A couple in India decided to end their life together by jumping in a river as they could not marry each other.

    However, the man did not jump at the last minute while the woman had already jumped into the river.

    They had both been in a relationship for almost seven years. The woman was married to someone else and has a daughter. She took her daughter to Pune and returned after some time, only to discover that the man — Chandu — had married in the interim. Chandu promised her that he will divorce his wife and get married to her.

    However, due to many obstacles, they both decided to end their lives by committing suicide together.

    The couple went to a river to commit suicide but the man did not jump. After finding out that the man did not jump, the woman decided not to die either and swam across the river. The police took her to the hospital.

    According to the police, the man has been charged with attempted murder and damage to the mobile of the woman. An investigation is taking place now.

    Rats find 10 tola gold, take it to a gutter

    Police in Mumbai, India, found a bag containing 10 tola gold worth 500,000 Indian rupees. The bag was discovered in a gutter. The owner of the jewellery was said to be Sundari Planibel, a 45-year-old domestic servant.

    On her way to the bank to deposit her jewellery, Sundari offered her bag of vada pav to two children begging on the street.

    “Ms Planibel realised she had kept her jewellery in the same bag when she got to the bank,” Sub-Inspector Chandrakant Gharge of Dindoshi told Indian news media outlet, ANI.

    The police discovered the gold jewellery after reviewing CCTV footage that showed a few rats carrying a bag of gold from a waste dump into a gutter.

    “10 tola gold worth Rs 5 lakhs recovered from clutches of rats in a gutter near Gokuldham Colony, Mumbai A woman on her way to deposit jewellery in a bank gave it away to children on street, mistaking it to be bread; children threw it into garbage dump,” ANI reported.

  • No memes: Twitter is angry over another petrol price hike

    No memes: Twitter is angry over another petrol price hike

    The federal government increased the price of all petroleum products yesterday (June 15). This includes an increase of Rs24 per litre for petrol and Rs59.16 per litre for high-speed diesel (HSD). This is the third hike in petroleum prices in less than a month.

    Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Miftah Ismail criticised the PTI government for reaching an erroneous agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which tied the incumbent’s hands and forced it to raise oil prices to get the economy back on track.

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif tweeted, “Acutely aware of the impact that a fuel price hike causes. Govt is left with no choice but to raise the prices due to IMF deal that PTI govt signed.”

  • Air pollution reduces life expectancy by two years worldwide: Report

    Air pollution reduces life expectancy by two years worldwide: Report

    A recent study revealed that microscopic air pollution, mostly generated by the combustion of fossil fuels, affects life expectancy by more than two years globally.

    According to a report by the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute, if fine particulate matter levels across South Asia reached World Health Organization criteria, the typical individual would live five years longer.

    The severe lung and heart illness caused by so-called PM2.5 pollution reduce life expectancy by eight years in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, home to 300 million people, and by a decade in the capital city of New Delhi.

    PM2.5 pollution penetrates deep into the lungs and reaches the circulation, with a diameter of 2.5 microns or smaller, nearly the same as a human hair. It was declared a cancer-causing substance by the United Nations in 2013.

    According to the WHO, the concentration of PM2.5 in the air should not exceed 15 micrograms per cubic metre in any 24-hour period, or 5 mcg/m3 on an annual basis.

    The WHO strengthened these guidelines last year, the first revision since air quality guidance was established in 2005, in response to accumulating evidence of harmful health effects.

    In the Air Quality Life Index report, lead researcher Crista Hasenkopf and colleagues stated, “Clean air pays back in additional years of life for individuals all over the world.” “Reducing global air pollution to WHO recommendations permanently would add 2.2 years to average life expectancy.”

    Almost every inhabited region on the planet exceeds WHO limits, but not more so than Asia: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan all exceed WHO guidelines by 15-fold, 10-fold, and nine-fold, respectively.

  • How to transfer WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone

    How to transfer WhatsApp data from Android to iPhone

    WhatsApp and Apple have announced that data from the Android chat app will now be ported to iOS. The feature will be available in WhatsApp’s beta version. It will be phased in over the course of a week to reach all users.

    Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the development in a Facebook post.

    “We’re adding to WhatsApp the ability to securely switch between phones and transfer your chat history, photos, videos, and voice messages between Android and iPhone while maintaining end-to-end encryption. This is a top requested feature. We launched the ability to switch from iPhone–>Android last year, and now adding Android–>iPhone as well,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

    To transfer the data, your Android smartphone must be running Android 5 or higher, and your iPhone must be running iOS 15.5 or higher.

    Last year, the feature to move WhatsApp data from iOS to Android was launched.

  • These ‘aftermarket’ front panels for Bugatti cost more than one kanal house in DHA

    These ‘aftermarket’ front panels for Bugatti cost more than one kanal house in DHA

    Owning a Bugatti supercar is unquestionably one of the most expensive pleasures a person can enjoy. An oil change, for example, costs more than Rs5.09 million ($25,000). To look at it another way, just the oil change is more expensive than a new Toyota Corolla Altis Grande in Pakistan.

    An oil change is a ‘small’ fraction of the money you have to spend every 12 months to keep the French beauty in great shape. If you break the exterior, things get even worse.

    We’re well aware of the exorbitant price of maintaining a Bugatti, yet the internet continues to surprise us with independent postings of OEM Chiron parts.

    The most outrageous example seen so far is the front-end component from a Chiron Super Sport 300+ shared by CarScoops, which is priced at Rs81.5 million ($399,999). In Pakistan, you can buy a nice house in Defence Housing Authority, Lahore, and even save some money with this sum.

    It’s important to note that we’re still discussing an OEM part component here.

    Consider the following scenario: you’ve scraped the roof of your gleaming Bugatti Chiron, but you don’t want to go to the brand’s official shop to save some money. Repainting the panel is one option, but if the damage is too extensive, it must be replaced. Finally, if you opt to handle the repair yourself, there are roof components available on the internet to ‘assist’ you.

    SGR Automotive recently posted an ad on Instagram for a Bugatti Chiron roof assembly. It is still unclear where this component originates from, but the seller claims it’s an OEM part in excellent shape. The available photographs show a spotless blue roof assembly with no blemishes on the paint or carbon fiber structure.

    It’s worth noting that the roof component of the Chiron is considerably more than a mere panel covering the passenger compartment. It is a structural element of the Chiron’s chassis and plays an important function in the supercar’s monocoque. Needless to say, even minor flaws in the Chiron’s carbon-fiber structure might significantly impact its cornering performance.

    A roof assembly is priced at Rs11.20 million ($55,000) by SGR Automotive. Well, that’s enough to get you a nice new Toyota Fortuner 2022 in Pakistan, but in the Bugatti world, 55 grand is practically nothing. If this roof piece is an OEM part, it’s definitely well worth the money, since a new fuel tank costs Rs8.96 million ($44,000)  to replace.

  • Elephant kills woman, later crashes her funeral

    Elephant kills woman, later crashes her funeral

    A 70-year-old Indian woman was killed by an elephant in Odisha, India, while she was collecting water from a tube-well, reports The Print.

    The elephant trampled Maya Murmu. As a result, she sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital where she breathed her last.

    When the family members were performing Maya’s last rituals, the elephant returned and took the corpse from the pyre. It trampled her body again and fled after throwing it. 

    However, Maya’s last rites were finally conducted a few hours later. The elephant had wandered off from the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary.

    According to official data, as many as 3,300 people have been killed in attacks by wild elephants in India in the last seven years. Odisha has suffered the most deaths, with nearly 600 killed between 2014-2021.
