ISLAMABAD - After Pakistan’s pres­sure to take action against TTP militants involved in the attack on Pakistani border posts in Chitral, Afghan Tali­ban authorities have or­dered operation against TTP hideouts in Kunar. The Afghan Taliban FM had assured that the Afghan territory would not be utilized against Pakistan. Among the arrested militants were those TTP militants involved in the terrorist attack on Pakistani military posts. The Afghan au­thorities were now sending arrested TTP militants to notorious Pul Charkhi jail. It is worth noting here that the Afghan Taliban had consistent­ly denied the presence of TTP on Afghan soil, but the truth has now surfaced.

The blockbuster hit Jab We Met will soon be getting a sequel, as confirmed by a report in Zoom. Rumours of a possible part two to the beloved film began when a fan asked Shahid whether he and Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali had any collaborative projects lined up on Valentine's Day. Although the Love Aaj Kal has many films credited to his name, fans were quick to assume that an Imtiaz and Shahid collaboration could only mean a Jab We Met sequel and not another movie with new characters. However, it has been confirmed that the sequel is indeed in production under Raj Mehta. The responsibility for producing this much-anticipated sequel falls upon Raj Mehta, operating under the Gandhar Films banner.

Despite its advantages, the globalisation strategy has been criticised for adversely affecting local businesses and labor practices in developing nations. The concept of regionalism gained momentum due to the intensification of global war in various fields as a result of globalisation. The global economy, food programs, and humanitarian initiatives could be at risk due to a move from globalisation to regionalism. The world’s significant shift from globalisation to regionalism is due to the exploitation and disparities that were present in the former system. Achieving an equilibrium between regionalism and globalisation will be pivotal in shaping the world’s future.

The beach chair rental guy. Of course, that means we have to deal with the chair rental guy. Every few hours the rental guy will courteously visit other chair renters and offer to reposition their umbrellas so they can remain in the shade. I made it a point to cross right in front of the rental guy’s little headquarters, where he sat with his boom box and his bodybuilding magazine. After a few minutes, I noticed the rental guy was drilling umbrella holes in the sand just parallel to us.

From The Tribune staff reportsPINSON — Detectives with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office received an update that a Pinson man was found guilty by a jury on 12 cases, all sexual in nature, on Friday, Sept. 15. According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Christopher McHoward, 53, of Pinson was found guilty of several charges including sexual abuse first degree, sodomy first degree and rape first degree. He has worked diligently to seek justice for his young victims, all who were under the age of 12 when the abuse began. Detective Jackson, who has been with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for almost 23 years, worked with multiple agencies, including “The Prescott House”, the Department of Human Resources and the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, for the past seven years to see justice served for these children. Lieutenant Jackson said, “Some of these victims are now teenagers and have lived through a lot already.

The move marks the beginning of the tenure of new Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa as the country's top judge. Supreme Court judges retire automatically upon reaching the age of 65, and the next most senior judge is elevated as the chief justice. The chief justice asked Rahim to read the law out aloud, however, the lawyer kept losing focus and the judges repeatedly told him to read the law. At one point during the hearing, CJP Isa observed that it would benefit the chief justice if this law is struck down. Since then, some apex court judges have been saying that the case should be decided at the earliest, because of wide-ranging impact.

Reflecting on the recently introduced oil refining policy for both existing and new projects, one can’t help but wonder about the lost opportunities that might have been seized with more proactive decision-making. Currently, Pakistan has five oil refineries with a combined potential to produce approximately 20 million tonnes of petroleum products annually, including diesel, petrol, furnace oil, and jet fuel. Yet, the tide might turn with the advent of the new oil refining policy. The project might usher in Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company, to Pakistan, revolutionising the nation’s oil refining landscape. Therefore, if the oil refining policy yields the desired results, its impact on the economy could be monumental.

Pakistan has been struggling with its external debt situation for years, and urgently needs comprehensive reforms to reduce its reliance on external loans, according to WealthPK. To boost domestic revenue and reduce the need for external borrowing, Pakistan needs effective tax reforms that can widen the tax base, curb tax-evasion, and improve tax collection,” Azfar added. Nadeem ul Huq, Vice Chancellor Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE), told WealthPK that Pakistan's external debt challenge is a pressing issue that needs immediate attention and comprehensive reform efforts. Attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) is another way to reduce external borrowing. Pakistan needs to create an attractive investment climate by simplifying regulations, protecting property rights, and offering incentives to foreign investors,” he said.

During London's Fashion Week, Mowalola Ogunlsei, a Nigerian-born designer, returned to the fashion pages with her latest collection, Mowalola SS24. However, the fashion brand was scrutinised when a model walked the runway in one of the designs to replicate the Saudi Arabian flag. — لولوه (@lolo85_) September 16, 2023I am convinced the designer is very well aware and just want to make some noise. — 🕸️Шурук🕸️ (@Shuru_Q) September 16, 2023I’m sorry, but there’s no way Mowalola didn’t know about the Saudi flag. — 𝐒𝐀𝐅.🝮 (@italybutoncrack) September 16, 2023Some, while adopting a more educational tone, called for the brand to recognize its mistake.

The sad irony is that when experts in Pakistan think about documenting the economy, many jump to quick fixes like changing currency and demonetisation or discontinuing the Rs5,000 note. Countries like Estonia have successfully reformed their tax systems to make them more transparent, efficient, and conducive to economic documentation. The recent change in the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Sales Tax on Services is a commendable step towards encouraging economic documentation. Such quick fixes may lead to public mistrust and destabilise the economy further. Such quick fixes may lead to public mistrust and destabilise the economy further.

Born on Oct 26, 1959 in Quetta, the provincial capital of the province, Isa is the son of Qazi Muhammad Isa, a close aide of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

The turnaround in the second half was dramatic. Even in the second half, however, the red zone offense under Offensive Coordinator Mike Bobo continued to be inconsistent. (The Cocks did still complete a 3rd-and15 throw to a wide-open receiver in the second half, though.) Get to Rattler, and you basically derail the South Carolina offense, which doesn’t have much of a running game.

The recently concluded G-20 Summit in New Delhi was no exception either. It is then no surprise that the G-20 Delhi declaration was not examined in detail by the world commentators. Was there anyone in the G-20 Summit who wondered why would they ‘recommit’ on the same issues repeatedly? Looking at the pattern, would anyone be surprised if the G-20 Summit scheduled to be held in Brazil next year ‘recommitted’ certain oft-repeated ‘resolves’ yet again? In fact, in comparison to the Bali Declaration, the language used in the Delhi Declaration was much diluted and indirect.
