By Mujeeb Rahman Qambrani MEHAR: A 10-year-old boy was killed after being hit by a speeding passenger coach near Degree College on the Indus Highway in Mehar, police said.

He was taken to Taluka Hospital Mehar in an unconscious state, where doctors later confirmed his death. After completing legal formalities, the body was handed over to the family. Relatives said scenes of grief unfolded at the home, with the boy’s mother…
In the shadow of Tehran’s sprawling avenues and the quiet hills of Qom, Iran is preparing to pause and remember. From tomorrow, 8 April, the country will enter a period of national mourning to mark 40 days since the martyrdom of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei. The announcement came quietly from the authorities, almost as if the grief itself needed no fanfare, only space to breathe. While Washington continues to issue threats of fresh military strikes, Iranian streets, mosques and public squares will fill with the low murmur of prayers, the steady rhythm of Qur’an recitations and the…
By Atiq Raja In a world that prizes talent, luck, and the illusion of overnight success, one quality quietly but consistently separates those who dream from those who achieve: discipline. Motivation may ignite the first spark, but discipline carries the flame forward. It is an invisible engine, the subtle force that transforms ordinary effort into extraordinary accomplishment. Without it, brilliance is often fleeting; with it, even modest abilities can yield remarkable results. Discipline is frequently misunderstood. It is not about restriction or punishment; it is, paradoxically, a form of freedom. It is the capacity to guide one’s actions with intention,…
By Asghar Ali Mubarak Pakistan has emerged as an unexpected, yet increasingly pivotal actor in efforts to restore calm in a region teetering on the brink of broader conflict. As tensions flare between the United States and Iran, and as attacks on Saudi Arabia exacerbate regional anxieties, Islamabad has stepped into a complex diplomatic space, leveraging both its political leadership and military command to mediate and prevent escalation. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Defense Forces, have assumed roles that extend well beyond domestic governance, demonstrating a commitment to stabilizing a region where volatility…
By Dr. Zawwar Hussain Sindh has always been a land of paradoxical beauty—ancient yet vibrant, historical yet forward-looking, serene yet bustling with life. In this landscape, where the Indus River weaves through centuries of civilization, the Government of Sindh’s decision to launch an Air Safari Service connecting Karachi to Mohenjo-daro emerges as far more than a logistical or administrative initiative. It is a statement of intent, signaling a vision of tourism not as a peripheral luxury but as a central driver of economic growth, cultural expression, and global recognition. Karachi, Pakistan’s largest metropolis, has long been the country’s economic heartbeat.…
By Wadood Mehsud SOUTH WAZIRISTAN: A key road in South Waziristan Upper has fallen into severe disrepair despite the availability of maintenance funds, raising concerns over official negligence and prompting calls for action against those responsible. The road linking Jandola to Makeen was said to be rapidly deteriorating, with several sections buried under मिट and debris due to a failure to clear drainage passages and open causeways. In a statement, chairman Ishaq Shamirai criticised the performance of the Communication and Works department and other relevant authorities, questioning why routine maintenance had not been carried out. He said traffic flow had…
In the sweltering tension of Middle Eastern diplomacy, where every whisper of negotiation carries the weight of potential catastrophe, Pakistan has emerged as an unlikely architect of hope. Late on Sunday, as the world held its breath amid fears of a spiraling conflict between Iran and the United States, Islamabad dispatched a meticulously drafted plan dubbed ‘Mesaaq-e-Islamabad’ – a name evoking the ancient covenants of peace in the region’s Islamic heritage. Shared directly with Tehran and Washington, this proposal offers a lifeline: an immediate ceasefire to halt the hostilities, followed by a pathway to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, that…
By Akbar Eissa Zadeh It is now one month since the American president launched his unjustified and illegal aggression against Iran, and in his first address to the nation since that fateful Thursday morning of 3 April, he saw fit to recycle baseless claims about the consequences of this imposed war. Once again, he declared that should no agreement be reached with Tehran, American strikes would continue – and in such an event, the United States would unleash devastating attacks on every single power plant in Iran. Over the past four weeks, Donald Trump has set multiple targets and timelines…
By Jiang Zedong As tensions in the Middle East intensify, the world watches anxiously, caught between escalating hostilities and the urgent need for dialogue. The latest outbreak of violence involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has once again underlined a harsh reality: the cost of war is universal, and its consequences ripple far beyond the immediate theatre of conflict. Against this fraught backdrop, a notable development emerged on March 31, when China and Pakistan unveiled the China-Pakistan Five-Point Initiative to Restore Peace and Stability in the Gulf and the Middle East. Launched in Beijing, the initiative outlines an ambitious…
