Observed annually on 9th of December, it commemorates the 1971 engagement in which the diesel-electric submarine PNS/M HANGOR successfully sank the Indian frigate INS KHUKRI. This outcome was not simply a tactical triumph; it reconfigured regional naval assessments, demonstrated the decisive utility of undersea platforms in asymmetric environments and catalyzed long-term transformations in Pakistan's maritime defense posture. The event is widely regarded as one of the most consequential submarine actions in post-Second World War history and remains central to understanding how Pakistan formulated its approach to maritime defense in an environment marked by asymmetry and regional rivalry. Hangor…...

21+ min ago (570+ words) In the valley of Margallas, where ministers dream and meters lie, winter arrived like an absent-minded landlord: late, underdressed, and with no intention of fixing anything. It brought a laminated Schedule of Flame, distributed with the solemnity of a constitutional amendment. Citizens now knew precisely when they might cook, bathe, or recall what heat used to feel like. In G-9/4, Aamir has pinned the schedule to his fridge. Not because it helps, but because it mocks him less when it is visible. Six to nine AM. Noon to two. Six to eight PM. Gas, allegedly. He reads it each morning like a horoscope issued by the ministry: vague, oddly specific, and quietly cruel. Outside, the thermometer reads 7 degrees. Inside, it reads futility. "The rest is theory. Gas theory. Kinetic theory. The molecules are somewhere, just not in my pipes." His wife,…...

A child went to market with his father to buy breakfast, an ordinary, joyful errand and never returned home. He fell into an open manhole in the Dhanot area and remained trapped for two agonising hours before his lifeless body was recovered. No words can capture the grief of his family, nor can any official action undo their loss. Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif swiftly removed the district commissioner and ordered strict action, which is necessary. An FIR has been registered against contractor and sub-engineer responsible for the area. But let…...

The purpose of this global observance is to raise awareness about corruption and mobilize international resolve to prevent, combat and eliminate corrupt practices. The Convention, which came into force in December 2005, underscores the seriousness with which the world must treat corruption, given the "problems and threats posed by corruption to the stability and security of societies, undermining the institutions and values of democracy, ethical values and justice, and jeopardizing sustainable development and the rule of law." Corruption, unfortunately, is neither new nor isolated to a few states. It is a global phenomenon that continues to haunt societies and governments....

Since its creation in 1947, the country PAKISTAN'S politics has long been closely linked with its military, shaped by decades of turbulent history. Since its creation in 1947, the country has seen repeated interventions in which the armed forces acted beyond their constitutional mandate, often justifying their actions as necessary for the survival of the state. From dismissing elected governments to imposing martial law, the military's involvement has left lasting impacts on Pakistan's political, economic and social development. The past few decades illustrate this complex relationship vividly. The 1990s, for example, saw successive governments struggle under political instability, but it was Nawaz Sharif's leadership that catalysed economic growth and infrastructure development. Sharif, often criticized for political missteps, nonetheless spearheaded projects that transformed Pakistan's highways, energy sector and…...
