NEPRA has approved the government’s request to maintain the basic electricity tariff across the country, ensuring the same base rate for consumers nationwide. This decision aims to provide price stability, protect households from sudden increases, and support businesses with predictable energy costs.

By keeping the tariff uniform, the government seeks to reduce uncertainty in electricity bills and promote economic balance across different regions. While fuel and adjustment charges may vary, the basic electricity rate will remain unchanged, offering some relief to millions of consumers.

This move reflects efforts to stabilize the power sector while managing inflationary pressures and maintaining fairness in electricity pricing.

Pakistan is set to introduce new currency notes with futuristic features designed to enhance security, durability, and visual appeal. These next-generation banknotes will include advanced elements such as holograms, color-shifting inks, microprinting, and modern design patterns to prevent counterfeiting.

The updated notes aim to align Pakistan’s currency with international standards while reflecting national identity and technological progress. With improved materials and smarter security layers, the new currency will be safer to use, harder to fake, and longer-lasting in everyday circulation.

This major step marks a shift toward a more modern and secure financial system, giving citizens greater confidence in Pakistan’s paper money.

Islamabad’s travel network has gained a high-end new option with the launch of a luxury helicopter service connecting Islamabad to Nathiagali.

The service is designed to dramatically cut travel time for visitors heading to the Galyat region, reducing a typical 2–3 hour road journey to an approximately 30-minute scenic flight over the area’s valleys and forested hills.

Operated by Baron Aviation in collaboration with DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali, the offering is aimed at travelers seeking a premium, time-saving experience, particularly high-end tourists and small private groups.

According to the announced pricing, the package costs $1,050 (USD) per person for a one-hour round trip and can carry up to six passengers, positioning it as a luxury alternative rather than a mass-market transport option.

Tourism observers say services like these reflect the growing demand for experience-led travel, where the journey itself is part of the attraction.

Supporters believe the move could also strengthen Pakistan’s adventure and destination tourism branding by adding a premium access route to one of the country’s most visited northern spots.

DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali is widely known as an upscale mountain retreat, drawing visitors for its resort-style stay, cooler climate, and access to nearby scenic trails and viewpoints.

Baron Aviation, meanwhile, operates in Pakistan’s private aviation space and is expanding niche travel solutions through charter-style services that prioritize privacy, flexibility, and speed.

Social media in Pakistan has been abuzz with warnings of an “unprecedented” cold wave, claiming that snowfall could hit cities from Peshawar to Lahore between January 16 and 25.

Viral posts suggested that temperatures could drop below freezing, with some predicting up to five inches of snow in Lahore and minimum temperatures of -5°C in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

Many of these claims linked the extreme weather to a polar vortex stretching into Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, allegedly influenced by a Siberian high-pressure system.

Comparisons were even made to January 1964, framing the situation as a once-in-decades event.

Former federal minister Omar Saif also shared similar warnings, featuring images from weather websites, and several messages highlighted heavy rainfall, hail, and snow across Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

However, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has urged the public not to panic.

Based on the latest numerical weather prediction models and observational data, PMD confirmed that temperatures are expected to remain within the normal winter range, with no sign of widespread or persistent record-breaking cold.

PMD advised citizens to rely on official forecasts, alerts, and advisories and to avoid sharing unverified social media reports that could cause unnecessary
concern.

At least 72 Pakistani students have returned home amid violent protests in different parts of Iran, Pakistan's Ambassador to Iran, Muhammad Mudassir Tipu, confirmed on Sunday.

Talking to Geo News, the ambassador said: "72 students from University of Hormozgan [a leading state university in Bandar Abbas] have left for Pakistan today."

The Pakistan embassy in Tehran provided every possible assistance to the Pakistan-bound students, he said, adding that they were in contact with Iranian border authorities to ensure a smooth and safe return for the students.

Protests in Iran began on December 28 in response to soaring prices, before turning against the rulers who have governed the country since 1979. Tehran has accused the US and Israel of fomenting unrest.

Iran's police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan said security forces had stepped up efforts to confront "rioters".

Meanwhile, Tipu said that Pakistani students from Zanjan University would return home soon.

"All Pakistani citizens in Iran should follow the advisory issued by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs," he urged.

The ambassador stressed: "Students wishing to return must complete all formalities before departure."

Wi-Fi is down in Iran, and telephone services are not working properly, he said, advising Pakistani nationals in the country to contact the embassy via landline phone numbers.

The ambassador also advised those travelling by road to arrive at the border at least four hours before it closes and to ensure passports are properly stamped.

Separately, taking to his X handle, he wrote: "All Pakistani nationals traveling to Pakistan, from Iran, must ensure that either they have a valid visa or exit stamp (Kharooj) on their passports."

He said that the students may ensure that they have clearance certificates from their universities.

"Otherwise, Iranian immigration authorities will not allow them to travel till they complete requisite procedures," he added.

For their safety and security, Pakistani nationals are advised to avoid all unnecessary travel to the Islamic Republic of Iran until conditions improve.

Late last week, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had advised Pakistani nationals ‘’currently residing in Iran to exercise extreme caution, remain vigilant, minimise non-essential travel, and stay in regular contact with the Pakistani Missions’’.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has indicated it is ready to host Bangladesh’s fixtures in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 if the matches cannot be staged at the originally planned venues, sources said.

According to officials familiar with the matter, the PCB has formally communicated to the International Cricket Council (ICC) that Pakistan would be willing to step in and host Bangladesh’s 2026 T20 World Cup games if Sri Lanka is not available as an alternative venue.

The sources added that Pakistan’s stadiums and operational setup are “fully prepared” to stage matches on short notice if required.

PCB officials believe Pakistan is well-positioned to offer logistical support, given its recent experience of hosting major international tournaments.

Sources cited Pakistan’s hosting of high-profile ICC events, including the 2025 Champions Trophy and the ICC Women’s Qualifier, as evidence that venues, security arrangements, and event operations can meet international standards.

Bangladesh’s stance hardened earlier this month when the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) decided it would not travel to India for its scheduled World Cup matches, citing concerns related to player safety.

The decision came in the wake of the abrupt removal of Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman from the Indian Premier League (IPL), which triggered renewed debate within Bangladesh over the safety and treatment of their players amid a tense political climate.

Bangladesh’s Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul publicly confirmed the decision, saying the board had opted against travelling to India for the tournament and had also sought clarification regarding Mustafizur’s unexpected IPL exit. In his statement, he said Bangladesh would not accept any situation that it felt undermined the dignity of Bangladeshi cricket or put players at risk.

Following Mustafizur’s release, the BCB held an emergency meeting and decided to formally ask the ICC to relocate its World Cup fixtures, with Sri Lanka identified as the preferred alternative. BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul also reiterated that player security remains the board’s top concern.

For now, the ICC has not announced a final decision on whether Bangladesh’s matches will be moved away from India or remain as scheduled.

The year 2039 is set to become one of the most extraordinary years in Islamic history, featuring a rare calendar phenomenon where Muslims worldwide will experience two Hajj pilgrimages and three Eid celebrations within the same Gregorian calendar year.
This unique occurrence happens due to the difference between the Islamic lunar calendar and the Gregorian solar calendar. The Islamic calendar is approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, causing Islamic dates to shift earlier each year. In 2039, this shift will align perfectly to allow two complete Hajj seasons to fall within a single calendar year.
Muslims will also celebrate three Eids during this remarkable year – with Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha occurring twice due to the calendar overlap. This phenomenon is incredibly rare and occurs only once every several decades, making 2039 a truly special year for the Muslim ummah.
Religious scholars and Islamic calendar experts have confirmed this extraordinary alignment, encouraging believers to prepare spiritually for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For those planning to perform Hajj, 2039 presents a unique chance that future generations may not witness.
