A social media post by the Australian High Commissioner to Pakistan after his visit to Taxila has sparked an online debate over the ownership of the region’s ancient heritage. The discussion has renewed focus on the Indus Valley Civilization, Gandhara, and Taxila, with many pointing to the fact that these archaeological sites are located in present-day Pakistan and form a significant part of the country’s historical and cultural heritage.

A sharp rise in paediatric HIV cases has been reported across major hospitals in Karachi, with health experts linking the surge to unsafe medical practices and poor infection control. Dozens of children, many under the age of five, have tested positive in recent months.

Gul Plaza Market Association collected Rs 5,500 per shop every month Rs 6.6 million monthly, nearly Rs 80 million a year from 1,200 shops. So why was there no fire safety system? And how were 1,200 shops allowed in space meant for 500? Lives were put at risk for profit.

Fire safety audit reveals alarming facts: only 6 of 266 buildings have firefighting equipment. 80% lack basic fire safety systems, 1,700 fires reported in a year, and SBCA has declared 500 buildings unsafe. If the audit was done, why wasn’t it enforced?

The president of the Gul Plaza Shopkeepers Association must be questioned over the alleged non-implementation of fire safety rules. He is accused of collecting around Rs10 million per month from shopkeepers as maintenance fees.

@narramuss As an independent journalist, I see AI not as a replacement for reporters but as a tool that reshapes journalism itself. The Reuters Institute is right: AI is for journalism, not for journalists.

Pakistan’s loss to India brings tough moments for journalists too, especially when they have to face fans and ask, “What are your thoughts? 😂

@BrutIndia’s coverage of PM Shehbaz Sharif meeting President Trump is neutral. 👏

@htTweets' images suggest confusion, showing how visual framing shapes audience perception.🧐
