Hamza takes on ‘new role’ in Islamabad

LAHORE: PML-N lea­der Hamza Shehbaz started his political activities in Islamabad by meeting a group of incumbent and former party lawmakers at the PM House on Thursday.

The son of PM Shehbaz Sharif, Hamza had maintained a relatively low profile in provincial politics after the PML-N came to power and the chief ministership of Punjab went to his cousin, Maryam Nawaz.

During Thursday’s meeting, Mr Shehbaz held detailed discussions with MNAs Saira Afzal Tarar, Jamal Shah Kakar, Hafizur Rehman Dreshak, former MNA Khurram Dastgir, Murtaza Javed Abbasi, and former senator Behramand Tangi about issues confronting their respective constituencies.

He also chaired a meeting on the PM’s Youth Programme.

Rescue teams rushed Thursday to find more than 1,300 people missing on the Nepal-Tibet border in flash floods and landslides that killed at least 165 and swept away entire villages.

A terrifying clip of surveillance video from the Chinese side of the frontier shows a massive wall of mud and debris crashing over a building several stories high on Wednesday morning, engulfing it as dozens of people ran for their lives below. The surge swept away buses and cars like they were toys.

Many of the missing are foreign tourists, officials said of the disaster, which the US Geological Survey believes was caused by a glacial collapse that sent a flow of debris engulfing areas along the way.

LAHORE: Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has ordered the inspector general of police (IGP) to purge the force of “corrupt officials” within a week.

Presiding over a meeting on law and order here on Tuesday, the chief minister said maintaining peace and protecting the lives and property of citizens remained the government’s top priority.

The chief minister said police officers known for corruption should not be appointed as station house officers (SHOs) and called for strict action against corrupt officials. She also directed the police to intensify efforts to curb burglary and ordered a clean-up operation in Sheikhupura to eliminate crime.

The CM decided to bring the operational control of Dolphin Police under the jurisdiction of the respective police stations. She also set Sept 30 deadline for equipping Punjab Police personnel with body cameras. She sought a comprehensive plan to ensure effective control of crimes against women and children and ordered a zero-tolerance policy against those involved in such offences.

A US Air Force judge on Wednesday ordered Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, and three co-defendants to go on trial before a military tribunal in June 2028.

The trial-scheduling order entered by Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michael Schrama marked the latest milestone in a military prosecution beset by two decades of legal deadlock surrounding the four detainees held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Last month, a US appeals court refused to allow Mohammed and two of his co-defendants to plead guilty under agreements that would have spared them the death penalty. The appellate decision reversed decisions of a military judge and the US Court of Military Commission Review in support of the plea deal.

After deadly blaze at Pims, hospitals in Punjab told to ensure fire safety

Hospitals and relevant authorities across Punjab have been directed to take fire safety measures, with provincial chief executive Maryam Nawaz instructing a fresh audit of arrangements at healthcare facilities.

The directives have been issued after a deadly fire killed 14 infants at Islamabad’s Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) on Wednesday. The fire broke out on the third floor of the Mother and Child Hospital’s ward, and preliminary details indicate that a spark in the air conditioner led to the fire.

Witnesses said they waited hours for help from the emergency services, were forced to smash through windows to try and get to the neonatal intensive care unit and came across locked doors. Authorities, however, insist otherwise.
