Pakistan Railways Launches Pakistan’s First-Ever ‘Reefer Freight Train’

Karachi, January 10, 2022: As a major breakthrough in national logistics & cargo infrastructure, Pakistan Railways successfully launches the country’s first-ever Reefer Freight Train aiming to provide more economical and environment-friendly freight solutions.

According to details, Marine Group of Companies in collaboration with Pakistan Railways achieved the milestone by operating Pakistan’s first-ever containerized refrigerated train in Dec 2021 which departed from the dry port of Marine International Container Terminal (MICT) Prem Nagar, Lahore, and arrived at Wazir Mansion Karachi.

This intermodal cold chain solution is enabled by ‘Pakistan Railways Freight Transportation Company’ (PRFTC) who facilitates the rail infrastructure operated by ‘Pakistan Intermodal Limited’ (PIL) and CMA CGM Pakistan providing commercial support for this new cold chain corridor.

For the past 5 years, Pakistan Intermodal Ltd is playing a pivotal role in operating containerized freight trains in Pakistan and realizing the potential of Reefer containers, operating Pakistan’s first-ever reefer block train carrying 24 Units – 40 feet reefers of CMA CGM Pakistan from MICT – Dry port at Prem Nagar – Lahore to Wazir Mansion Karachi and transported the Reefer box through PakGo trucking short-haul services to Karachi Port completing the journey successfully.

Here’s the launch ceremony 

The new operational phase begins with one train a week with plans for this service to operate twelve trains in a month. Freight trains can minimize the delivery time and reduce emissions to the atmosphere of greenhouse gasses. On average, railroads are three to four times more fuel-efficient than trucks. That means moving freight by rail instead of trucks lowers greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75%, on average.

As more and more road-based reefer cargo finds its way to more economically and environmentally viable options. Pakistan Intermodal Limited (PIL) reefer block train system can generate billions of rupees annually in revenue for Pakistan Railways if the containerized freight trains are operated on schedule.

iPhone SE 3 To Launch In March 2022 – Here’s Everything You Need To Know

It’s been a few months since the iPhone 13 series was launched. Meanwhile, the news of the latest iPhone edition is already doing rounds on social media.

We’ve been waiting a long time for the iPhone SE 3. With iPhone SE (2020) having launched back in April 2020. But it looks like the next model might be about to land, as a reputable source claims it will probably be announced this March or April.

Bloomberg’s tech journalist, Mark Gurman, has shared the info in his latest newsletter.

“Apple gets ready for its first virtual event of 2022. Apple’s first virtual event of 2022 is coming up in a few short months and is likely to take place in either March or April.” 

Read More: 6 Important Things You Must Do Before Selling Your iPhone

Gurman also touches on Apple’s second event of 2022, which is likely to be WWDC in June, and this too will apparently be virtual. He says we’ll likely see iOS 16, watchOS 9, macOS 13, and tvOS 16 there, but that was all expected anyway.

Mobile Specifications 

The third-generation SE is rumoured to have a drastically faster processor compared to its predecessor. It will be allegedly rocking the 5nm A14 Bionic also found inside the iPhone 12 series. Probably serving as good news to some users out there, the more affordable SE will also keep the home button and with it Touch ID as well.

However, the 4.7-inch display also remains a thing with this new iteration. Thankfully, though, the iPhone SE 3 might be getting 5G compatibility. It is coupled with a fast processor and would completely bring it to the new age of phones.

As it will likely be the newest small iPhone model that Apple will offer. This could prove a crucial gap filler in the lineup. Even though the small form factor is dying out, there are still users out there that are die-hard fans of smaller phones. This includes the more compact iPhones.

Apple iPhone SE 3 

While a lot of people are probably more excited about the iPhone 14 range in September, the iPhone SE 3 could be a big seller for Apple. It could show that there’s still a market for small phones – if they’re priced right.

Most evidence, so far, suggests that the iPhone 13 mini hasn’t been a huge seller for Apple. Meanwhile, the iPhone SE 3 could offer an even smaller screen at a much lower price, and pair that with 5G (for the first time in a mid-range iPhone), which might make for an intoxicating combination.

That remains to be seen, and the increasingly dated design that we’re expecting might hold it back. However, there’s a good chance that a palatable price is all people need to embrace smaller phones again – and the SE 3 is likely to offer that.

In the latest news, HEC has launched a bomb on students as it came out with a comprehensive list of “fake institutions” operating in Pakistan. The tweet and list, has since then invited the ire of many people. Why is this happening now? Read all about it here.

What Happened?

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) recently issued a list of “fake, illegal, and unrecognized” educational institutions. These institutions operate across the country and the HEC has instructed students to refrain from taking admission in them.

hec fake institutions

HEC issued a statement on Twitter saying that it only recognizes degrees of chartered universities. In addition to that, it will accept degrees from higher education institutions (HEIs) in public and private sectors and their officially approved campuses.

Read more: HEC’s Illegal/Fake Institutions List Released

Where Can We Find The List?

The purpose of spreading this list was so that students confirm the affiliation of a Higher education institute or campus before taking admissions there. Moreover, the HEC also warned students against enrolling in any of the universities and campuses given here:

The HEC also added that there may be universities who are not in this LIST and are in the list but also are not in the approved list may be fake. The commission stated that the list has also been uploaded to the HEC website for the convenience of students.

According to HEC, it is the responsibility of parents and students to check an institution’s status before going there. Otherwise, the HEC is not to be held responsible for the money and years being wasted. 

People Are Not Taking This

People are now angry. They are wondering who is responsible for those students who have spent years of their life and their parents’ money and now are told their degree is fake? Moreover, people are asking, why is HEC just making people “aware”? Why is the commission not shutting down these institutions and who is allowing them to exist? Provided HEC’s recent performance with the single national curriculum and closure of schools repeated, people are not happy. Here’s what they’re saying:

Sakina Samo is a well-known Pakistani actress who, by now, needs no introduction. The actress has proven her talent and has also showcased it in several dramas and series now, all of whom have left their mark on the audience. However, Samo is not in the news for something amazing. The actress has invited a lot of criticism after her latest take on Humayun Saeed and The Crown.

Humayun Saeed As Dr. Hasnat

Sakina Samo’s Thoughts

Sakina Samo has deleted her tweets. However, the internet is a dark and unforgiving place. Her rant was against Humayun Saeed’s casting for The Crown. She kept talking about how he may look like him right now, but the 90s Hasnat was not anywhere near Saeed.

Sakina Samo was all in favour of Fawad Khan playing the role of Dr. Hasnat. She believed he would have been “a class act”. Over this, Samo has decided to boycott The Crown.

How Does Casting Work?

According to Sakina Samo, in casting for the series, 4-5 Pakistani actors must have been auditioned. When users pointed out that Jemima Khan may have been consulted also, she was not too impressed. She was not convinced that Humayun Saeed may be a carefully deliberated choice.

What Are People Saying?

People are using this to express their own opinions on Sakina Samo. It clearly, according to them, is a case of someone being unable to be happy for another’s achievement.

All in all, this feud may just hurt Sakina Samo more.

KIA Lucky Motors Has Achieved Its Milestone Of 50,000 Bookings In Pakistan

Leading South Korean automobile manufacturing company, KIA, that is in a local partnership with the Lucky Group is offering a limited-time offer on the Sorento, to celebrate 50,000 bookings milestone since its entry in Pakistan.

Since its relaunch in 2017, KIA has become one of the leading choices of Pakistanis when it comes to SUVs. Thanks to its innovative and sleek designs, excellent mileage, and efficient performance, KIA has sold over 50,000 cars in three years, a milestone that is considered a major achievement in the industry.

What makes KIA cars reliable is that they’re built using state-of-the-art technology, offering better performance and mileage than its competitors. Moreover, they come with a four-year warranty at reasonable prices.

To highlight their milestone of achieving 50,000 bookings, KIA Lucky Motors, has launched a limited time offer on two variants of the Sorento- the 3.5l and 2.4l AWD. The midsize SUV comes in 3 variants, with 3.5 liters V6 engine, 2.4 liters engine with two drivetrain options- Front Wheel Drive and All Wheel Drive. The Sorento was launched in the local market in 2021, attracting car enthusiasts with a preference for performance in an SUV.

Ever since its entry in the local market, KIA has brought in an extensive choice of vehicles ranging from hatchbacks to SUVs and a multi-purpose vehicle. The Picanto being an ideal 1000cc hatchback for a single user or a small family, which can be easily maneuvered in tight spots without compromising any comfort inside. The Sportage has been a game changer for the local automotive industry making people shift to the SUV over sedans. The Sorento was launched last year where car enthusiasts were eager to try it, mainly because of its powerful V6 engine which no other SUV is offering currently in Pakistan. With Carnival’s entry in Pakistan, KIA is the only automotive maker to locally provide an exotic multi-purpose vehicle. KIA has also recently launched the Stonic in Pakistan, with a 1.4l MPI engine which has gained limelight physically and on social media platforms. The C-SUV comes with key features including LED powered headlights, sunroof, cruise control, infotainment system and push start. 

KIA has dominated the SUV category by firstly launching the Sportage followed by the Sorento and Stonic. The company achieved all of this in a short span of time–approximately four years. Between August 2019 and August 2021, the company sold more than 25,000 units of the Sportage. The manner in which KIA has dominated the local automotive market by bringing in a plethora of models is highly commendable. All the vehicles cater perfectly to a user’s commuting needs, be it intercity or intracity with no compromise on comfort. With such remarkable moves ever since its entry in Pakistan, let’s see what KIA has to offer us in the year 2022.

Capitalizing On Tragedy: What The Murree Incident Tells Us About Ourselves

The latest tragedy to have occurred in Murree has shocked everybody. While the nation grieves for lives lost on a vacation, more upsetting news is also spreading. The latest information shows us how deeply ingrained the principle of capitalization has become in us while it also reflects the poor state that leads people to this.

The Context

Approximately 21 people have died in Murree because they were stranded on the blocked streets. Their cars became completely covered in snow and while it is still unclear what caused their deaths, CO or snow; they all could not make it.

murree incident

The Latest News

In the latest, it has come to our attention that the prices for everything started skyrocketing as a state of panic spread in Murree. People now wanted to return home but found themselves tied due to snowfall and road blockages. In all of this, hotels raised their per night fee uptil Rs.50,000. That is not all! Locals who were previously clearing the car of snow started charging 10,000 to 20,000 for doing so. Moreover, the prices of food and beverage also increased many folds while people had no option but to purchase.

Self-reflection Teaches Us What?

This is not uncommon. We always hear how the prices are increased in tourist spots when the tourist season comes and perhaps that would be justified. People need to make money in the busiest season. However, right now, a calamity has occurred in Murree. 21 lives have been lost. Many are staying there not out of their will but safety.

In this situation, prices should be reduced to facilitate everyone. What happens when people can not afford 50k hotels per night? They are forced to return home and bear the dangerous roads. In a state of panic, many might even resort to doing such expenditures thinking that it will keep them safe.

Is It Their Fault Entirely?

When covid-19 was rising, people also started hoarding medicines and selling them in black for a few bucks. Is it heartless? Totally. However, have they been fed this system of heartlessness all their life? Yes, which is why they become the same. Those who start charging this high not only once paid unfairly high prices for something themself but also are made to need all the money they can get.

As the economy is in shambles and inflation tightens the noose around necks, people become greedy. This is a prime example of greed, nothing else.

5 Tips To Stay Safe In Your Car While Stuck In A Snowstorm

Image source: thesuburbanneewspaper.com

Winter driving safety is usually about keeping your car on the road in slippery conditions, but sometimes the weather is so severe that drivers get trapped on the road in a snowstorm alone or traffic for hours, sometimes overnight.

It’s a rare but dangerous situation that could lead to frostbite, hypothermia, and even death for those who aren’t ready to wait to be rescued or for the road to be cleared.

If a snowstorm is expected, it is best to stay put. For those who venture out anyway, here are some important safety tips should disaster strike.

1. Contact Friends And Family 

The first and foremost thing you should do is to make your family aware of the situation. Try to see if you have any cellphone service. If you do, contact your family and friends immediately and inform them of your location and situation.

Image source: Pinterest.com

2. Stay In The Car

If you are caught in snow and shelter or help isn’t visible within 100 yards, the best thing to do is stay in your vehicle to avoid exposure. Moving too much would only drain your energy and the cold would further add to it.

Image source: Pinterest.com

3. Stop The Engine

In cold temperatures, run the vehicle no more than 10 minutes every hour to heat the cabin to preserve fuel, especially if the tank isn’t full. Also, make sure that the exhaust pipe is clear and the windows cracked open to avoid letting exhaust fumes in.

4. Keep Burglars Away 

Try not to sleep if you’re alone, but if you’re stranded for an extended period and there are several passengers in the vehicle, take turns sleeping and keep an eye on each other. This way you would make sure that you are aware of the surroundings and nothing can catch you off guard.

So, if you are still with me, keep reading because today, we shall solve the mystery of why people come up with such bizarre recipes. In Gujrat, India, a local vendor sells Oreo Pakoras, and no, we are not kidding.

The video went viral on social media after the user shared the video of him trying out the bizarre combination of the sweet and savoury. Nonetheless, People are mad.

The Pakora Recipe 

The video begins with Amar Sihori explaining that this stall (selling Oreo Pakora) has been around for 15 years, and people, especially children, like to eat these pakoras. He, then, focuses on the food stall owner, who further showed how the pakoras are made. Originally posted on November 4, 2021, the video went viral and garnered over 1 lac views and hundreds of comments.

Take a look at the video below.

The recipe is simple, just like any other pakora recipe. To make Oreo Pakora, the vendor first made the gram flour batter, then dipped the biscuit in the batter and deep-fried it. He then served it hot with some boiled chillies with a side of chutney. Weird enough to make you puke, right?

There is more to driving a car than just getting to from point A to point B for enthusiasts. Drivers enjoy the thrill their ride has to offer. For some, it’s the breeze that freshens them up. For others, its private karaoke time they get.

But whatever their pleasures may be, drivers, even experienced drivers, at times make mistakes in new cars. Sometimes those mistakes are so small that they go unnoticed.

However, it is always a good idea to stay alert and know about what is right and wrong for your car.

Here are five things that every driver with a brand new car should avoid doing:

1. Slamming the Brakes

It is relatively easy to get carried away by the excitement of having a new car. It’s understandable to slam the brakes to avoid an unfortunate collision, or hitting a pedestrian. However, it can also cause avg performance.

If you can avoid too much hard braking during the first few hundred miles, then your brand new car will continue to perform well for longer, and prevent long-term damage to the braking system.

2. Do Not Ignore Checking Fluid Levels

Some drivers tell themselves that they have a new car, which means it’s in perfect condition and will not need months of looking after. That’s not true! Be it new or old; you need to check on the car’s fluid levels all the time! Not checking the coolant and oil can lead to excessive and expensive damage to the engine.

3. Avoid Speeding & Racing for the First Few Miles

If you think it’s a great idea to test your new car at a race or track where you can challenge others, think again! The first few miles on a vehicle needs extra care; you need to keep the speed low and avoid unnecessary braking as well.

New tires are coated with a thin layer of lubricant–used during the manufacturing process to stop mold from developing in the rubber. This lubricant burns off within a few miles.

As tempting as it may be to hit that pedal, avoiding that feeling will give you a better performing car and a longer-lasting ride with fewer expenses.

4. Avoid Changing Gears When Their Revs Are High

Usually, when driving shift, you change gears when your revs are high, often well toward or even above the “red line” on the RPM gauge situated on your dashboard.

Drivers should avoid changing gears when their revs are high, and they should try, as much as possible, to change gears both up and down when their revs are well below the thin red line.

5. Avoid Short Trips

Too many short journeys are bad news for new cars during their breaking-in period. It’s far better for your engine if it has a chance to properly warm up every time it’s turned over, rather than only getting close to the optimal temperature just as you pull back up at your house.

Stay home and stay safe. Drive carefully.

Have you heard of Flurona yet? If you haven’t, it’s time to get acquainted. This new phenomenon is being increasingly reported across the world and it requires people’s attention as it results in greater mortality rates. Here’s why you need to know about the latest development in the scary chronicles of coronavirus:

What Is Flurona?

Should You Be Worried?

If you do, however, get coronavirus, you would be better off if you don’t get the flu. Getting both simultaneously would definitely affect your immune system and have it suffer. However, experts say that it’s not a given you will get Flurona. Doctors use the analogy that: “the probability of both of those things happening at the same time is sort of like the probability of getting robbed by two people on the same day”. It can happen but it is not as if this is the most likely possible outcome.

What Happens With Flurona?

The research that has been conducted on this says a lot. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin have found that 19% of people who tested positive for COVID also tested positive for another viral infection. Moreover, they found that 24% of patients diagnosed with COVID later tested positive for a super-infection. In both these situations, the outcome was increased rates of mortality. The research suggests that once tested for COVID, people should also be tested for other ailments.

It is also concerning that this winter season, respiratory illnesses are more severe. They have become the same as the pre-pandemic. Doctors suggest that this is due to less social distancing and attention to hygiene. Additionally, this can also be because people’s immune systems are less equipped to fight off influenza when their immunity is already compromised.
