Residents of Jaro in Tehsil Koh-e-Suleman, Dera Ghazi Khan, are reportedly facing severe water shortages and a lack of access to clean drinking water.

Access to safe drinking water remains a basic necessity, yet communities in Jaro continue to struggle with water scarcity, raising concerns about public health, sanitation and living conditions.

Pakistan’s roads are full of capable, sensible cars, and for good reason. Buyers here weigh every rupee, every feature and every family need before they decide. But sensible doesn’t have to mean forgettable. A young professional stepping up from a first car and a family ready for something fresher want the same thing: a car that works hard every day and still says something about who they are. Ahead of its expected arrival in Pakistan later this year, OMODA 4 answers that with a design language called CYBER MECHA.

A car is no longer just a way to get from one place to another. It reflects how you live, what you value and how you like to be seen. A generation raised on gaming, anime, sci-fi films and digital culture increasingly expects its car to be a form of self-expression, and that appeal is not limited to the young. Many parents share those same screens and stories with their children, and they appreciate a car with character too. CYBER MECHA takes the imaginative look of cyberpunk and mecha culture and turns it into a production-ready design, built on the familiar framework of a mainstream SUV.

The Cyber Lightning headlights are the heart of OMODA 4’s front end. Their sharply cut lines are designed to echo a bolt of lightning tearing through the night, and they make the car recognisable the moment the lights come on. On a busy road, at a signal or in a crowded car park, that is the kind of identity that stays in the mind. The body takes its cues from the structural logic of mecha armour. Instead of soft, rounded curves, it uses crisp geometric angles and faceted surfaces, so light and shadow travel across the body and create a three-dimensional play of bright and dark. The look is powerful and purposeful, and the shape also supports aerodynamic performance, balancing style with efficiency.

The Lahore High Court has issued notices to the federal government, PTA, Ministry of Commerce and other authorities over a petition challenging the import and sale of camera-equipped smart glasses.

The petition raises privacy concerns, arguing that glasses with built-in cameras and microphones can potentially capture photos, videos and live streams without being immediately noticeable.

It also seeks restrictions on their use in sensitive places such as courts, airports and government offices. The respondents have been directed to submit their replies by October 8 as the court examines the regulatory and privacy concerns surrounding such wearable technology.

Ir@n’s rial has fallen to its lowest level on record against the US dollar, with the dollar reaching 2.4 million rials in the country’s free market.

The sharp depreciation comes as Ir@n continues to face severe economic s@nctions and soaring inflation. The country’s annual inflation rate has reached 61.4%, while food prices have also recorded a significant year-on-year increase.

The weakening currency is adding to economic pressure on households and businesses, increasing the cost of imported goods and further straining purchasing power. The latest decline highlights the continuing challenges facing Ir@n’s economy amid persistent financial and geopolitical pressures.
