Citizens forced to treat dysfunction as normal. This is not development — it is sheer misgovernance and administrative failure.

Life in Peshawar is far from smooth. The city’s nerve route, University Road, remains clogged all the time. Imagine a major road with hundreds of shops but no proper service roads. Hours wasted daily in traffic, chaos everywhere. @CSKPOfficial

@Eshaal0 I faced the same kind of hasad a few years ago when my newly bought, shiny, colour-coated car was deliberately scratched along the entire left side from one end to the other. Sadly, our society is full of such sick-minded and jealous people.

حسد کا کوئی علاج نہیں، کھاریاں میں کسی بھائی نے نئی گاڑی لی ابھی نمبر پلیٹ بھی نہیں لگائی تو کسی حسد کرنے والے نے پوری گاڑی پر چھوٹا پتھر لے کر اس سے لائنیں مار دی ہیں اللہ تعالی اس بھائی کو صبر دے اور اس کو اور بھی زیادہ عطا کرے تاکہ حسد کرنے والوں کے منہ بند ہو جاہیں 😭

Yar @AdityaDharFilms bhai, kuch zyada hi mazaq kar diya #Dhurandhar2‌TheRevenge mein aap ne. @RanveerOfficial ne tou south movies ko bhi peeche chor diya

@HamidMirPAK "پاکستانیو، تیار ہو جاو!" سر، پاکستانی پچھلے 75 سالوں سے نہا دھو کر، کپڑے بدل کر تیار بیٹھے ہیں کہ کب ایسے سبز باغ حقیقت میں تبدیل ہونگے۔ لیکن نہ تو کوئی سبز باغ نظر آیا، نہ ہی ان کی حالت بدلی۔

پاکستانیو ! تیار ہو جاؤ آپکی تقدیر بدلنے کا وقت قریب ہے، امریکا اور ایران میں امن معاہدہ حقیقت بن گیا تو پورے خطے کی تقدیر بدل سکتی ہے نئے راستے کھلیں گے نئے علاقائی اتحاد بنیں گے اسلام آباد سے چلنے والی ٹرین یورپ جا کر رکے گی لیکن کیسے ؟ تفصیل اس vlog میں youtu.be/e8fClXHPzns?si…

@AmerSharifOFCL @ansukhera For businessmen/traders, paying income tax is an option. For salaried class, an obligation. Vow.

Waah—pay annually 25K and no audit. Dear salaried class, this is the system and power, and this is how they manage it. A salaried individual pays 25K annually just for earning 115K per month, and for our beloved trading community, our government is generously planning to allow them to pay just a minimum of 25K irrespective of their income and that’s it. Why can’t they be taxed on their actual income earned? What is the purpose of the FBR and its staff?

@Nasrullah_shah1 @PakWheels EV car financing will truly make sense when it is subsidized on the pattern of the PM Apna Ghar housing scheme. Otherwise, for most middle-class families, EVs will remain less of a “green revolution” and more of a showroom fantasy.

@Ghoreezai @PakWheels With these chinese EV financing makes alot more sense. I have an oversized solar installatef at my house And i am selling excess electricity to grid at dirt cheap prices. If i start using that to charge my car the savings can go to car financing.

@stats_feed Pakistan is cool ;)

🌡️ India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, are you okay?

@FIA_Agency I received a suspicious call from this number asking me to share a passkey/verification code sent to my phone. Fortunately, I did not share it. This appears to be a WhatsApp hacking attempt. Citizens are advised never to share OTPs or passkeys with anyone.

@TAKM__ @81ShahbazRana @saqibbashir156 WAPDA is pushing itself to the edge of depriving itself of power consumers.

@81ShahbazRana @saqibbashir156 In my village in Shabqadar, dist. Charsadda, we get four hours of electricity. Every house has a solar here. And I run my device inverter AC on solar at daytime and on lithium battery at nighttime.

Majority of People have no trust in the government’s energy policies. The abrupt changes in policies has left no choice for the people but to abandon the national grid.The lethiem battery is getting attraction as an alternative to night time dependency on national grid.

@81ShahbazRana @SanaullahDawn Rana sb, despite exporting 557 surplus units to IESCO, I still have to pay a bill. Under the old net metering policy applicable to my connection, surplus units are supposed to be converted into an encashable credit amount. IESCO is violating its own agreement with consumers.

@hasankhyber گورنمنٹ افسران کو فیلڈ ڈیوٹی کے لیے ڈبل کیبن گاڑیاں اور سیکیورٹی اسی لیے فراہم کی جاتی ہے کیونکہ قانون نافذ کرنا کوئی آسان کام نہیں۔ یہ ذمہ داری اکثر خطرات، دباؤ اور مشکل حالات سے بھرپور ہوتی ہے۔ تنقید اپنی جگہ، مگر حقیقت یہ ہے کہ افسر کام کرے تو بھی تنقید، نہ کرے تو بھی تنقید.

ویسے گریڈ 17 کے ایک آفیسر کے ساتھ کون سی گاڑی (قانوناً و بلحاظ عہدہ) ھو نا چاہئے؟

@sharmilafaruqi If people start paying taxes honestly and the tax net is broadened, there would be far less need for these heavy levies. The burden keeps increasing on the same limited group of taxpayers while a large portion remains outside the system. It’s really that simple.

Pakistanis have paid a staggering Rs1.34 trillion in petroleum levy in just 10 months. Every rise in fuel prices has pushed up transport fares, electricity costs, food prices, and the cost of simply surviving for ordinary citizens. The question is: will the people of Pakistan ever get relief, or will the government continue crushing the already battered and exhausted people of this nation under the burden of endless indirect taxes? The nation deserves answers. @Financegovpk @GovtofPakistan @fbrspokesperson @NAofPakistan #PetroleumLevy #Inflation #PakistanEconomy #FuelPrices #CostOfLiving #NationalAssembly

@omar_quraishi In shams, a pack of potato chips may cost you 5k or more. Isloo has got cheaper and better options for shopping. Al-Fatah in Centaurus is a good option.

Went to an apparently high-end store in Islamabad today in an upscale area Reminded me of Bombay Sweets but without the dry fruit and nuts In any case, was browsing around the store trying to buy some confectionary but there were no price tags on any of them In fact as I eventually found out literally none of the items had a price tag - which was odd to say the least Eventually managed to gather some things to buy - but for each I had to ask the staff the price I also asked a couple of them why there were no price tags - and no answer was forthcoming Eventually at the counter when I had to pay I asked for the manager I asked him the same question - why are there no price tags on the merchandise being sold? The answers he gave me: “Most of our stuff is imported and has a high turnover” — Not sure what that meant - also why would that prevent price tags from being placed “The price can be asked from various service counters” — Still didn’t answer the very basic question of why no price tags like in any other store “We have a lot of imported items” — Other stores also have imported items but they all have price tags - how can a large store not have price tags 1. Am pretty sure according to the law and to safeguard the rights of consumers, all merchandise must have the price listed on it - for some reason this store didn’t - and the staff, manager included, couldn’t give a satisfactory answer 2. The fact that there’s no price tag on any item being sold would lend credence to the idea that the reason this is done is to mask from consumers frequent increase in prices 3. When I paid the bill eventually it turned out that prices of the items were 40-50% higher compared to those sold in similar high-end stores in Karachi

@Saad_H_Janjua Why. Would you plz elaborate?

Those chasing “slightly cheaper” or incentivized #PHEVs today will replace them tomorrow—just like non-hybrid SUV buyers are now shifting to #PHEVs. It’s a cycle. At the state level, those who understand the game know how easily incentives shape demand—and how effortlessly public perception is steered. The product changes. The control doesn’t.

@IKPeshawar @Razarumi Is there no entrepreneur from KP who can launch a TV channel on the scale of Geo, ARY, or Express?

The deadly suicide bombings in Bannu and Lakki Marwat didn’t get even a fraction of the time this so-called Pinki “drug queen” of Karachi got on mainstream electronic media .

The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has approved the acquisition of shareholding in Pakistan Corporate Restructuring Company Limited (PCRCL) by United Ethanol Industries Limited following a Phase-I competition assessment conducted under the Competition Act, 2010.
