Govt Set Timings for the Closure of Markets, Cafes, and Wedding Halls

Govt mandate close by 8:30 PM, weds by 10:00 PM, aiming to save Rs 62B

At a press conference today, Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif made the announcement. Govt offices are no longer permitted to purchase inefficient electrical equipment. He also made several cost-cutting announcements since the nation’s economy remains fragile

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif gave the order to reduce electricity use in federal government offices by 30% and forgo any superfluous electricity use during the federal cabinet meeting earlier today.

Government offices are no longer permitted to purchase inefficient electrical equipment. Beginning on July 1, 2023, the production of inefficient electric fans will be prohibited.

A new tax will be levied starting on July 1 on the production of inefficient electric fans. Annual savings of Rs. 15 billion are anticipated.

Beginning on February 1, 2023, incandescent bulb production will be prohibited. The manufacture of incandescent bulbs will be subject to an extra duty as of February 1. 22 billion rupees are anticipated to be saved yearly.

The federal government must install conventional baffles in geysers within a year. 92 billion rupees should be saved as a result.

To save Rs. 4 billion yearly, the Federal Govt has also ordered that alternate street lights be turned on at night.

Additionally, the federal government has mandated hastened e-bike introduction. Fuel bikes consume $3 billion in gasoline annually. The introduction of e-bikes will eventually phase out fuel bikes.

A comprehensive awareness campaign has also been established by the federal government to encourage people to adopt austerity measures.

PEMRA will see to it that during the previously allotted 10% of their advertising time, TV and radio networks air advertisements regarding this awareness campaign.

After gaining clearance from PM Shehbaz, the federal Govt would notify the work-from-home (WFH) policy for public sector employees in the following 8–10 days.

The FBR has been urged by the federal Govt to issue a separate tax directory of the lawmakers. It will make it possible for citizens to learn how much tax their elected officials truly pay.

90-Years-Old Pak-Hind Wedding Card Gone Viral

The wedding invitations have evolved from old to modern in 90 years.

The 90-years-old Urdu invitation was scrawled and shared on Twitter by Karachi-based fashion designer Sonya Battla in a photo. It was created in 1933 for the Delhi wedding of her grandparents. Since it was tweeted on December 30, the image of the straightforward invitation has received over 9,000 likes and hundreds of retweets.

Besides this, a 90-years-old viral wedding card written in Urdu that was just released by Twitter user Sonia Batla from Karachi when penning her grandfather’s 90-years-old wedding invitation is presently being discussed on social media.

Sonia declared in a tweet that the wedding card for her grandparents was written in Delhi the year of the wedding, 1933.

As stated by a Twitter user who translated this 90-years-old invitation, Muhammad Ibrahim wrote it for his son Hafiz Muhammad Yousaf’s wedding, which was set for April 23, 1933.

Ibrahim recommends that guests meet at his residence on Qasim Jan Street in Delhi so that they can proceed with the family to the bride’s home in Kishan Ganj. The translation states that the baraat, or the groom’s wedding party, was scheduled to depart at 11 am. Ibrahim adds a veiled appeal for his guests to be on time before signing off on the letter, stating, “Your punctuality will make me comfortable.”

For the nuptials of his son Hafiz Muhammad Yusuf, which were slated for April 23, 1933, Niazmand Ibrahim invited the guests to Gali Qasim Jan during the wedding feast. A Valima has also extended an invitation to him for April 24, 1933.

Many individuals who commented on Battla’s tweet mentioned that the groom’s home is close to that of renowned poet Mirza Ghalib. A Twitter user echoed this by writing, “Your ancestors were Mirza Ghalib’s neighbors:) Gali Qasim Jan. Mohalla was unique, though.

Pakistan Reports the First Case of Most Infectious Omicron Variant

NIH and AKU confirmed a highly infectious Omicron strain subvariant.

XBB, one of the three strains of the Omicron variety wreaking havoc in China, has reportedly been discovered in Pakistan, according to reports from the NIH and AKU.

The reports claimed that NIH routinely performs genome sequencing on Coronavirus samples, citing a senior NIH official.

Due to Pakistan’s low rate of coronavirus positive, however, there are only a few samples available for sequencing.

The representative clarified that the nation is not currently at imminent risk of a fresh Coronavirus wave. However, NIH constantly keeps an eye on the situation and is ready for anything.

Separately, AKU officials claimed that Pakistan has not yet discovered the other two strains, including the most hazardous BF.7 subvariant of the Omicron variant, dominant in China.

However, Dr Faisal Mehmood of AKU issued a warning that BF.7 might be spreading throughout the nation. Pakistanis have, however, grown more resistant to the Coronavirus than Chinese people because of a combination of immunisations.

Due to the lack of travel restrictions intended to stop the spread of BF.7 into Pakistan, Dr Faisal Sultan, a former SAPM on health, has asserted that Pakistan may already be infected.

The BF.7 strain has not spread to Pakistan, according to Prof. Saeed Khan, leading molecular scientist and professor of pathology at Karachi’s Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS).

There would have been a noticeable increase in Coronavirus cases if it had been found in the nation.

He continued by saying that BF.7 is highly contagious, innate and acquired immunity are easily overcome. Up to 20 individuals can contract the BF.7 virus from a single infected host.

 Punjab Might Experience The 7th Wave Of Coronavirus

Punjab health experts suggest winter booster doses enhanced COVID-19.

They are worried since the majority of people of Punjab are now vulnerable to the new variety known as “BQ-1,” a sub-variant of the Omicron, due to a significant portion of the population receiving booster injections five months ago.

The decisions were made at a meeting held on Monday by Punjab’s directorate of health services. In order to combat the virus’ seventh wave, the committee decided to give the Communicable Disease Control (CDC) of the most recent Omicron subvariant to Punjab a significant role.

An official stated that a World Health Organization (WHO) representative warned the group of the potential risk of the 7th wave of Covid-19 reappearing in Punjab.

He mentioned the high transmissibility of the new sub-variant of Omicron BQ-1 and claimed that this had caused an undesirable scenario in China due to the hundreds of thousands of brand-new cases in the nation.

The responses confirmed that the new sub-variant of the Omicron required immediate action by establishing all existing programs to avoid its spread in Punjab based on the official’s assertion.

To prepare for the anticipated seventh wave of the virus, it has also been proposed that an emergency session of the technical workgroup be held today (Tuesday).

To better monitor and sequence cases, genomic sequences, field investigations, laboratory assessments, and other data, the authorities should take the necessary steps.

BBC Urdu Radio News Disclosures Ceased After Over 20 Years

BBC Urdu's Radio News Disclosures Ceased After Over 20 Years

BBC Urdu discontinue radio news update to Pakistan after over 20 year.

On Saturday night, the broadcast of the BBC Urdu service’s final radio newscast officially ended the service.

According to Asif Farooqi, editor of the BBC Urdu service, BBC broadcasts won’t be available on the radio any longer, but that does not imply the broadcaster is losing its “relationship with audio.”

The BBC Urdu website showed a video of Farooqi saying, “The Urdu service is entering a new era…

This infrastructure will still be present, and we’ll use it to give you audio in a digital format

In the film, several BBC staffers are shown discussing similar briefings and their termination.

Mehwish Hussain, a member of the BBC Urdu service staff, claimed that FM bulletins and her job with the Pakistan regional service started around the same time.

“When we began publishing these bulletins in 2004, it was a tremendously exciting event. It was such an innovative and well-received product that it gained popularity rapidly, she said.

“I have a great sense of pride in having been a part of launching the bulletins”

Saad Sohail, a different BBC employee, asserted that they were conscious of their obligations each time they took the stage for these programs.

In addition, Sohail said, “This journey was more significant because when people wrote letters to us from Balochistan and other far-flung areas and said they could acknowledge our voice, one feels that joy that we were able to spread information that they could not have discovered through the mainstream media.”

According to Farooqi, the broadcaster was developing a strategy for the impending release of podcasts and audio stories.

What led Fawad Khan to have an exclusive interview with CNN?

Fawad talks about the massive success of ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’.

Fawad Khan, a Pakistani heartthrob, basked in the glory of his most recent film, which has officially crossed Rs. 1,000 million (100 crores) locally and $10 million globally at the box office. At the same time, the rest of the globe was busy celebrating the New Year.

CNN interviewed Fawad Khan on New Year’s Eve to discover more about the success of the Pakistani film industry as a result of the buzz surrounding Bilal Lashari’s magnum opus.

The newest movie starring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan breaks records

“Your movie, The Legend of Maula Jatt, is doing great business both domestically and abroad,” the host enquired. Do you view 2022 as a pivotal year for you?

Fawad Khan said,

It’s been a significant deal for me, but I’m only a little component of the overall setup. In general, it has been a big year for Pakistani cinema. It will have a significant impact on the years to come in terms of industry standards, business, and even filmmaking style because of the kind of business this movie did and the boundaries it pushed.

He said that it has been a very long period since the industry has returned, and even longer since it has spread so much around the world.

The hero of The Legend of Maula Jatt also talked about his movie’s potential Indian distribution and what it would entail for both nations.

That would be fantastic, he remarked. If it did, it would be a fantastic way to shake hands. I imagine it’s similar to the treats and gifts we exchange with one another during Eid and Diwali.

That sort of interaction occurs between film and music. But let’s see, things are still a little hot.

The Legend of Maula Jatt

The Legend of Maula Jatt, which was written and directed by Bilal Lashari and has dialogue by Nasir Adeeb, stars a cast that includes actors like Hamza Ali Abbasi as Noori Natt, Mahira Khan as Mukkho Jatti, and Humaima Malick as Daaro Natti. Mirza Gohar Rasheed, Faris Shafi, Ali Azmat, Shafqat Cheema, and Nayyer Ejaz make up the supporting cast.

This epic Punjabi picture is setting new standards for the Pakistani film industry, from its record-breaking run at the Pakistani box office, despite hitches and screening concerns, to outperforming Bollywood films in the global market.

In other news, the release of Legend of Maula Jatt in India was slated for December 23, 2022, but it was postponed for unknown reasons. The most recent reports, though, indicate that its publication has been postponed.

“The Witcher” Season 3, Might Be Split Into Two Parts On Netflix

"The Witcher" Season 3, Might Be Split Into Two Parts On Netflix

Fans of The Witcher on Netflix might have to wait bit longer to watch.

Due to the ongoing VFX difficulties, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich stated during an interview with the Collider that it was conceivable that the upcoming season of “The Witcher” might be split into two parts.

The series creator revealed that “at least seven more months of post-production” will be necessary before Season 3 is released, which could support dividing the season.

Declan De Barra, another co-creator of The Witcher: Blood Origin with Lauren, joined her for the conversation. The two were questioned about the availability of the upcoming season and whether Netflix will split the episodes into two parts.

Although we haven’t yet talked about partitioning the season, Lauren added,

“Given what we’re seeing across all kinds of streams, I wouldn’t rule it out.”

“I do assume that we never release anything of which we aren’t immensely proud. So it determines when we will launch. It should be intriguing, too. Again, there is still a very long way to go until the release of Witcher Season 3—roughly eight months. So, if God wills, we release everything all at once. But who knows—we’ll just have to wait and see.

The Netflix series in dispute wouldn’t be the first to be split into two parts for unrelated reasons. As per the source, the Duffer Brothers chose to divide Stranger Things Season 4 into two parts, in part to give the VFX team time to finish work on the final episodes, unlike Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, which released episodes in pairs as part of a thematic build-up.
