The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ruled on the petition challenging PTI’s planned September 27 march — and rather than blocking the protest outright, it’s placed the burden squarely on provincial governments: no government resources, officials, or machinery can be used to support it. What the Court Actually Ordered A larger bench headed by IHC Chief Justice Sardar Muhammad Sarfraz Dogar, along with Justice Muhammad Azam Khan and Justice Muhammad Asif, disposed of the petition with a short order carrying several specific directives: No political party or leadership has the “lawful right” to occupy public roads, highways, interchanges, toll plazas,…

An Israeli-made documentary alleging systemic harm to civilians during Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has triggered one of the most intense reactions of this year’s film festival season — winning a top prize at Venice while simultaneously drawing a forceful public rejection from Israel’s military and sharp political backlash at home. What the Film Is NAZA is directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, who previously co-directed No Other Land, which won the 2025 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film’s title references a Hebrew military term associated with the expected number of civilian casualties authorities anticipate…
Three days. Hero, zero, hero again. That’s the whirlwind 21-year-old Razaullah lived through in his first Test for Pakistan — a debut so dramatic it’s already being called one of the most remarkable in recent Pakistan cricket history. From Nowhere to the Test Squad Razaullah’s rise happened fast. A raw fast bowler from Mardan with just eight first-class matches to his name, he was one of 12 pacers invited to the PCB’s fast-bowling camp in late August after catching the eye of high-performance director Aaqib Javed during practice at the National Cricket Academy. Interim head coach Mike Hesson reportedly took…
Broadband internet has been restored across Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) as of midnight Sunday, ending a suspension that lasted 99 days — with the exception of a brief, roughly 40-hour restoration in between. The relief comes days after the AJK High Court directly ordered the government to restore services within 10 days. What’s Back On — and What Isn’t Broadband and DSL fixed-line internet have both been restored across the region. However, 3G and 4G mobile internet services remain unavailable and are expected to stay down for a few more days. That distinction matters a lot in practice: residents,…
Roblox is loosening its grip on where games built on its platform can actually be played. At its annual Roblox Developer Conference (RDC), the company announced a wave of updates centered on AI-powered game creation and — notably — the ability for developers to release Roblox-powered games as standalone apps outside Roblox entirely. The Headline Feature: “Build” At the center of the announcements is Build, Roblox’s generative AI game-creation tool first introduced in July. Build lets users create games using plain natural-language prompts rather than manual scripting, lowering the barrier to entry for people without coding experience. It launched as…

A birth certificate is the very first official document in a person’s life in Pakistan — and without it, you can’t get a B-Form, CNIC, passport, school admission, or even register a marriage later on. Here’s exactly how the process works, including a genuinely important distinction most people get confused about. First, a Common Misconception: NADRA Doesn’t Issue Your Birth Certificate Many people assume NADRA directly issues birth certificates — it doesn’t. Birth registration in Pakistan is actually handled by your local Union Council (or the relevant Municipal Committee, Cantonment Board, or Tehsil Municipal Administration, depending on where the birth…
