Fake Nursing Schools in Sindh: Investigating Allegations

By

Aug 8, 2023

The Senate Sub-Committee on National Health Services, Regulations, and Coordination established the purpose of addressing concerns raised by the Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC) regarding nursing colleges’ affiliation status. Senator Rubina Khalid led the committee in convening at the Parliament House to conduct a thorough investigation into the issue of fraudulent institutions linked with the PNC, including exploring their connections to hospitals and the issuance of counterfeit nursing degrees.

Within the committee, dissatisfaction arose due to the sluggish progress, prompting inquiries into the reasons behind the delay. Senator Khalid underscored the considerable influence that the PNC wielded, which, over a year, had prolonged the issue’s resolution. The influence surpassed even that of the Prime Minister. In light of this, she emphasized the necessity for improvements within the PNC setup and highlighted the crucial role of the new council.

Upon discovering the establishment of a new Nursing Council, scheduled for its inaugural meeting shortly, expectations arose for expedited actions to counter the challenge of fake degrees and colleges. As a result, the sub-committee collectively decided to extend invitations to both the new council’s president and a representative from the Ministry for the upcoming meeting.

The PN&MC’s briefing to the sub-committee firmly refuted recognition of any ghost or fake nursing institutes. Although apparently 90% of the nursing schools in Sindh were reported to be fake. The assertion stated that they are actively taking robust legal measures against such institutions. In response, the committee formally requested the submission of an inquiry report concerning closed colleges and the ongoing monitoring of ghost colleges during the upcoming session.

A particularly noteworthy point emerged from the briefing, emphasizing that the PN&MC solely holds the authority to regulate nursing diplomas/degrees/courses/programs in the country. Senator Khalid critically questioned this regulatory structure and further sought an explanation of the amendments within the PNC (Amendment) Act, 2023.

In the dynamic landscape of communication applications, WhatsApp has taken yet another stride forward with its latest beta version. The introduction of a new voice chat feature promises to reshape group interactions, offering a novel experience akin to the likes of Telegram, Discord, Slack’s Huddles, and Meta’s Messenger.

The Gateway to Group Voice Chats

For the fortunate users with access to this innovative feature, the group chat environment gains a distinctive visual cue – a waveform icon. This icon serves as the portal to a whole new dimension of interaction: voice chat. However, this icon only appears if both the account is granted access and the group is compatible.

Upon tapping the waveform icon, the virtual door swings open, revealing a tailor-made interface for effortless voice interactions. The brilliance lies in its simplicity – anyone within the group, up to 32 participants, can join the spoken session without any cumbersome setup.

What sets this feature apart from traditional group calls is its elegant approach to eliminating ringing phones. Instead of a cacophony of incoming call notifications, the participants can dive into meaningful conversations without any auditory distractions.

Control Through Duration

A thoughtful aspect of this feature is its duration control. While the session remains active after participants leave, it gracefully concludes after an hour. This balanced approach ensures conversations are engaging yet time-efficient.

In a digital age rife with concerns about privacy, WhatsApp’s voice chat feature prioritizes security. Like the app’s messaging functionality, voice chats are end-to-end encrypted by default, ensuring the conversations remain confidential.

WhatsApp’s Unique Advantage

Although not the trailblazer in voice chat features, WhatsApp enjoys a significant advantage – an immense user base exceeding 2 billion. This extensive reach ensures that the impact of this innovation could be transformative.

The ripple effects of WhatsApp’s voice chat feature are potentially monumental. From spontaneous discussions to collaborative brainstorming sessions, it introduces a new layer of interactivity that mimics face-to-face interactions.

WhatsApp’s commitment to enhancing the user experience is evident in its continuous innovations. Each new feature caters to the diverse needs of its global user base, offering a platform that adapts and evolves with the times.

Melodic Conversations: Fostering Unity One Voice at a Time

In a world where effective communication is paramount, WhatsApp’s latest innovation bridges the gap between the familiar and the cutting-edge. The introduction of the voice chat feature serves as a melodic backdrop to conversations, encouraging meaningful interactions and strengthening bonds.

As technology continues to weave connections across the world, WhatsApp’s voice chat feature stands as a testament to the platform’s dedication to progress. By facilitating authentic connections and enriching conversations, it harmoniously contributes to the ever-evolving symphony of communication apps.

Ramiz’s Funny Crush – Wants To Marry Babar Azam

Ramiz's Funny Crush - Wants To Mary Babar Azam — Source:: Cricketaddictor

In the world of cricket, there are commentators, and then there’s Ramiz Raja – a man whose love for the game is only rivaled by his unabashed admiration for one man: Babar Azam. And if you thought cricket was all about smacking the ball out of the park, you clearly haven’t witnessed Ramiz’s unapologetically hilarious commentary when Babar’s at the crease.

Babar Azam’s Fireworks and Ramiz’s Verbal Fireworks

In a recent match that had cricket enthusiasts on the edge of their seats, Babar Azam pulled off a spectacle that left everyone’s jaws hanging – everyone except Ramiz Raja, that is. Babar’s whirlwind century against Galle Titans not only sealed a stunning victory for Colombo Strikers but also broke records like they were mere twigs in a storm. And guess who was there to witness it all unfold with the vigor of an overenthusiastic puppy? None other than our favorite cricket commentator, Ramiz “Babar’s Number One Fan” Raja.

As the ball soared to every corner of the field, Ramiz’s praises soared even higher. “Fifty in security, class, and quality, calmness,” he cooed, as if Babar’s bat was an enchanted wand. Ramiz’s commentary wasn’t just enthusiastic – it was like listening to a love poem dedicated to Babar’s batting prowess. If words could blush, the dictionary would be tomato red after that performance.

“Wanna Marry Him!” – Ramiz’s Hilariously Unfiltered Outburst

But wait, it gets better! In the midst of a fevered monologue about Babar’s on-field brilliance, Ramiz tossed in a line that might have caused even the seasoned cricket fan to spill their tea. “I just absolutely love him – wanna marry him,” Ramiz exclaimed, leaving everyone within earshot (and probably Babar himself) in a fit of incredulous laughter.

Now, one might think that such blatant and unconventional admiration might raise eyebrows, especially considering Ramiz’s prior role as the Chairman of Pakistan’s Cricket Board. But then again, when it comes to cricket, it’s not unusual for emotions to run as high as an umpire’s index finger during a tense LBW appeal.

Ramiz Raja’s Long-Standing Affection for Babar

Ramiz’s affinity for Babar isn’t new, of course. Back when he held the reins of the cricket board, he often showered Babar with compliments that would put a proud parent to shame. But now, with Ramiz in the commentator’s box, it’s like watching a cricket match through a whimsical, rose-tinted lens. Every shot, every drive, and every run become a reason for Ramiz to burst into poetic exclamations about his cricketing heartthrob.

While some might argue that Ramiz’s affection for Babar’s batting is over the top, one can’t deny the sheer entertainment it brings to the cricketing world. In a sport that is often filled with serious analysis and technical jargon, Ramiz’s unapologetic enthusiasm is like a breath of fresh air – albeit air that’s scented with an oddly strong aroma of Babar-love.

So, the next time you tune in to watch a cricket match and hear Ramiz Raja gushing about Babar Azam’s genius on the field, remember that you’re not just watching a game. You’re witnessing an unconventional love story that transcends boundaries, turning the usually stoic world of cricket commentary into a romantic comedy where a commentator and a cricketer live happily ever after – in their own unique way.

14th August is just around the corner and Pakistan is getting ready to celebrate its 76th Independence Day, a street in New York City, which is the biggest and most popular city in the United States, has been given an extra name, it is now called ‘Allama Iqbal Avenue’. Allama Iqbal is an important figure known around the world and a symbol of Pakistan. He had a dream of having a separate country for Muslims in the area, which came true in 1947.

Ambassador Masood Khan has praised Ali Rashid, who leads the American-Pakistani Advocacy Group, for making this happen. Ali Rashid worked hard to have the street named ‘Allama Iqbal Avenue’. “Naming a street after our national poet in New York, a famous city, will strengthen the relationship between Pakistan and the US. It will also make Pakistani people proud not only in New York but all over the United States,” Ambassador Masood Khan said.

Pakistan And The US

He also praised Ali Rashid for his determined efforts to make Pakistan’s relationship with the US better and for teaching people in the US about Pakistan’s history and culture. Ali Rashid and the American-Pakistani Advocacy Group played an important role in getting the US House of Representatives to announce March 23, 2023, as “Pakistan Day.”

Co-naming 109 Street and 101 Avenue in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York, is a way to honor Pakistan’s rich culture and also to let Pakistani Americans pay tribute to a great leader of their country. This news came from the Pakistani Embassy in Washington. Adrienne Adams, the Speaker of the New York City Council, said, “I am proud to celebrate the co-naming of 109th Street and 101st Avenue as Allama Iqbal Avenue as we approach Pakistan Independence Day. Allama Iqbal was an important poet, scholar, and leader, and his ideas led to Pakistan becoming its own country. His legacy continues in the active Pakistani community in New York City, which has added to the city’s culture.”

Employee Stunned: Company Overpays Him 367 Times His Salary

In a surprising turn of events, a Hungarian individual encountered an unforeseen employee overpayment scenario when their employer accidentally deposited 367 times their actual earnings into their account. Rather than receiving the expected 92,549 forints (equivalent to about 238 euros or $260), the company mistakenly wired an astounding 34 million forints.

This incident unfolded in Hungary’s Somogy County, where the individual briefly worked for a Kaposvár-based company that terminated their employment due to an unsuccessful trial period.

Originally entitled to a salary of 92,549 forints, about 238 euros or $260, a significant oversight resulted in an astounding 34 million forints being deposited. This substantial error arose because the man’s Austrian bank account details were utilized, leading to the payment being processed in euros rather than the intended local currency.

Realizing their mistake swiftly, the Hungarian company contacted the former employee, urging the return of the overpaid amount. However, the individual cited their inability to refund the money due to lack of access to the Austrian account.

This marked the beginning of the situation’s complexities. Subsequent police investigations revealed that the man personally withdrew approximately 15,500 euros in cash from the Austrian account using an ATM in southern Hungary. Following this, the funds were transferred to another account.

Through collaboration with the Kaposvár District Prosecutor’s Office, the company succeeded in freezing the Austrian account and effectively rerouting the funds back to their account.

The individual faces charges of unlawful appropriation and a potentially substantial fine in this context.

PIA To Launch Skardu-Dubai International Flight on Independence Day

Aug 8, 2023

Pakistan International Airline (PIA) has exciting plans to inaugurate Skardu Airport’s very first international flight on the 76th Independence Day of Pakistan, 14th August 2023. Following this historic event, the airline will commence weekly flights between Dubai and Skardu on Saturday, 19th August, and from Skardu to Dubai on Tuesday, 22nd August.

An airline spokesperson revealed that after the Dubai-Skardu flight, the aircraft will continue its journey to Islamabad, providing seamless connectivity for passengers.

PIA has made significant strides in improving connectivity to Skardu recently. In June, the airline launched direct flights between Karachi and Skardu, building on their earlier success with direct flights from Lahore, which took off on 3rd June.

Skardu Airport stands as the sole airport in northern Pakistan capable of accommodating large airplanes. Meanwhile, the runways at Gilgit and Chitral airports are too short for long-distance flights.

In December 2021, former Prime Minister Imran Khan granted “international” status to Skardu Airport, thereby opening up new possibilities. However, despite this positive development, the airport encountered a setback due to the absence of a proper refueling facility for international flights.

Thankfully, this hindrance has been effectively addressed, and the refueling facility is slated to open on 11th August, paving the way for the airport’s inaugural international flight.

Furthermore, the region’s tourism industry is flourishing, with twelve Airbus A320 flights recently commencing operations, connecting Skardu with major cities across Pakistan. With the new international flight and enhanced facilities, Skardu Airport is all set to play a pivotal role in promoting tourism and improving air connectivity in the region.

Positive Reception and Eager Interest

The post quickly garnered over 200,000 likes, indicating the widespread endorsement of Musk’s initiative.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has now introduced a special e-visa waiver plan. As of yet, this new policy is for people from the United Kingdom (UK) and Northern Ireland only. Under this plan, travelers can visit Saudi Arabia for up to six months without a visa. However, they need to apply for the waiver between three months and 48 hours before their visit.

How And Why?

To start the visa process, travelers need to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) website and provide the necessary information. Saudi Arabia has introduced this because it wants to strengthen its relationship with the UK by encouraging visits for various reasons, such as healthcare, education, tourism, and business.

In another update, easier E-Visas for Pakistan have also been launched. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry has launched electronic visas (e-visas) for several countries, including Pakistan, making it simpler for people from these nations to travel there.

New Issuance Method

The Saudi General Aviation Authority (GACA) has introduced a new method for issuing e-visas using QR codes. This system is now active in 12 Saudi embassies – Pakistan, Turkey, Morocco, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Thailand, Bangladesh, India, Philippines, Indonesia, and Egypt.
