The announcement follows her remarkable achievement of summiting Nanga Parbat—Pakistan’s second-highest and one of the world’s most dangerous peaks, often called the “Killer Mountain.”

Standing at 8,126 meters, Nanga Parbat tested her with black ice, falling rocks, and extreme weather. In a heartfelt message, Sheikha Asma described the climb as one of the toughest of her career, calling it a journey of fear, growth, and inner strength.

A heartbreaking and shocking incident took place in Bihar, India, where five members of the same family were beaten and burned to death by villagers who accused them of practicing witchcraft. The mob believed the family was responsible for a child’s death and other illnesses in the area.

This brutal act happened in the middle of the night, showing how deep-rooted superstitions still exist in some parts of the country. Police have arrested several people and are searching for others involved. Many across India are calling for stronger laws and more education to stop such violence.

Even in 2025, some communities are trapped in beliefs that belong to the 1800s.

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, the viral sensation known for his quirky music and bold personality, has taken a major step into arts education by launching his own acting academy. Located in Lahore, the Chahat Fateh Ali Khan Academy offers structured training in both acting and singing, with a strong focus on language, pronunciation, and expression.

Chahat’s goal is to support passionate newcomers who lack access to professional training. “I want to turn raw talent into real stars,” he said, emphasizing the importance of mastering Urdu, Punjabi, and English for success in Pakistan’s multilingual entertainment industry.

The academy also serves as a launchpad for fresh talent, with Chahat planning to promote standout students through his massive social media following.

A recent eye screening initiative in Sindh has revealed that 4 in 10 truck drivers suffer from poor eyesight, raising serious concerns about road safety. Medical teams examined over 5,000 drivers and found that 20% had serious conditions like cataracts and glaucoma, while 40% were deemed unfit to drive due to general vision impairment.

This lack of visual clarity has been directly linked to a surge in fatal road accidents, especially in Karachi’s Malir and West districts, where over 100 people lost their lives in just the first 45 days of 2025.

In response, the Sindh government has launched a crackdown on unfit vehicles and untrained drivers. New measures include mandatory eye screenings, installation of cameras and trackers, and stricter licensing protocols.

Notable inclusions are Mohammad Nawaz, Fakhar Zaman, and Faheem Ashraf, while young guns like Hassan Nawaz, Salman Mirza, and Ahmed Daniyal have also been given opportunities. The squad reflects the PCB’s ongoing strategy to build depth ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 cycle.

The coaching staff, led by Mike Hesson, includes specialists in batting, bowling, and fielding, ensuring a well-rounded support system for the team. With Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi still absent, this series offers a crucial platform for new faces to prove their mettle on the international stage.

The federal cabinet of Pakistan has approved the import of 500,000 tons of sugar through the government sector to address rising prices and ensure market stability. The decision, announced by the Ministry of National Food Security, aims to counter supply-demand imbalances and prevent artificial shortages.

All arrangements for the import have been finalized, with immediate implementation underway. Officials emphasized that this strategy differs from past subsidy-driven approaches and is based on actual market needs. The move follows a sharp increase in sugar prices, particularly in Karachi, where retail rates have reached Rs190–200 per kg.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Advisor Asim has stirred debate by stating that Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are better suited for ODI cricket, not T20s. His remarks came after both senior players were left out of the T20 squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh.

Asim emphasized that the current T20 team is built for modern, fast-paced cricket, and younger players like Salman Ali Agha are being given a chance to lead. The decision signals a shift in strategy, focusing on fresh talent and aggressive gameplay.

While Babar and Rizwan remain key figures in the ODI setup, their exclusion from the T20 side has sparked discussions about the future direction of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket.

The government has rolled out revised withholding tax rates for prize bond winnings and profits from debt/loan interest under the National Savings Schemes.

This is a significant move, especially for non-filers, who will now face substantially higher tax deductions. The aim? To strongly encourage individuals to register on the Federal Board of Revenue’s Active Taxpayers List (ATL) and formally join the tax system. For filers, the rate on prize bond winnings and debt interest is 15%, but for non-filers, it's a hefty 30% – double the amount!

This strategy is all about broadening the tax base and boosting revenue collection. If your annual profit on debt exceeds Rs. 5 million, normal business slab rates apply, going up to 45% for profits over Rs. 5.6 million.

These changes mean it's more crucial than ever for taxpayers to understand the implications for their financial planning. Becoming an active taxpayer offers clear financial benefits and contributes to a more transparent and robust financial infrastructure for Pakistan.
