A news ticker that might not have caught the attention of many was run by a TV channel that read, “Noor al Ameen Mangal (DCO Lahore) ordered immediate suspension of Dr. Sajid for negligence of duty on receiving complaints against him” (words to that effect). A happy augury that portends well for the good governance. Now-a-days one doesn’t come across many officers exercising their powers in cens

I have a question or two for the media as to why it has not kept the public updated on the followings and what happened to them?!34 persons who died about a decade ago in a stampede caused due to the late opening of the Bahishti Darwaza, when the Giddi Nashin Diwan Sahib was alleged to be haggling with the Auqaf department for the larger intake than that offered by them to him?

According to the Interior Minister, and very correctly too, mobile phones can also be used for exploding the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) as a remote control means. He had, therefore, ordered suspension of the mobile phone service in certain cities on Eid day. Now exploding home made explosive devices remotely through the radio signals of a cell phone could be called Electronic Warfare

A news report says that a million dollar donation has been made to Ajmer Sharif (India) by the high commissioner of Pakistan in Delhi on behalf of the President Asif Ali Zardari and the People of Pakistan.

Dr. Faiz Ahmad of the NUST (NewsPost Aug 3rd) has rather sarcastically tried to ridicule Agha Waqar for the auto water-kit (WK) that the later is trying to find sponsors to produce commercially.

The learned writer has drawn our attention to the farcical ab
