Aside from her projects, her Instagram is full of her pictures with her family, which shows that even though she is busy with her career, she takes time out for her family as well. And the steamy hot photoshoots with her husband make one swoon over them.

“I cannot imagine a single second of my life without this woman and the beautiful family she has provided me with. I can’t thank you enough for the amount of peace and love you have brought to my world.”

He also added: “I hope we continue to grow like this and be with each other till the very last breath of our lives.”

How Is Maskne Caused?

Maskne is basically when due to wearing a face mask, your skin gets irritated and starts breaking out. This skin condition that can develop is also called dermatitis. In said condition, whenever anything will come into contact with the skin, it will get irritated.

Maskne is caused by the heat and friction created within your masks because of the hot weather, right. Moreover, when you breathe into it, for several seconds, that same air is trapped into your mask before it gets released.

The pop culture world is known for actors and personalities getting in shape for a role. It does not, however, have to be a fit shape at all times. We all remember how Christian Bale had to prepare himself for the role in ‘American Hustle’ and ‘Vice’. Yes, it was a dangerous diet process he went through. Even Jared Leto, for his role in ‘Dallas Buyers Club’, had seen a diet role where he was dangerously starved. These personalities go towards the limit and beyond to make sure they are fit for the role.

If you have ever looked behind the scenes on superhero movies, you know how hard it is. It takes a grueling routine to be a superhero. Hugh Jackman was noted to dehydrate himself hours before his shirtless scene, so his veins popped out when he played wolverine! In light of transformations, Ahmed Ali Butt has gone through one!

Mind-Blowing Transformations

As we have already discussed before, celebrity transformations always catch one’s eye. There was one more which took place last year. It was of Kumail Nanjiani, the Pakistani born actor from Silicon Valley. He got into shape for a role for an upcoming Marvel film. Similarly, Jonah Hill is an actor whose transformation has always shocked fans.

They could not believe that the same kid from ‘Superbad’ was the same as the adult in ‘Maniac’. However, our focus for the day is Pakistani known figure Ahmed Ali Butt. You must have seen him in many places. His jolly, happy-go-lucky personality put in on the top charts in the country. Now, he has gone through an impressive transformation, and people have had mixed reactions.

Ahmed Ali Butt

The actor is known for his most iconic role in the Pakistani hit film ‘Ye Jawani Phir Nai Aani’. He has also starred in its sequel and continues to capture the audience’s imagination even now. His acting put him on the hall of fame here because it was so well done. In a recent picture on Twitter, the actor posted a ‘Before-After’ picture.

In it, he seems to have lost a considerable amount of weight and got slightly toned. The picture has received a lot of mixed reactions on it. People are commending his transformation and the effort he has put into it. However, some people are saying they preferred his older look.

Appreciating Change

It is in human nature to bring about changes in yourself. The writer of these articles believes that human beings are capable of significant change. They continue to take shape throughout their lives, and it is always appreciable when they decide to try something new. It should not be a source of ridicule if Ahmed Ali Butt has had a transformation.

Maybe he wanted to do this for a while but never got around to it until now. We support his decision on himself because it’s his choice. We also applaud his effort and appreciate the work he has put into it.

Twitter Reacts To #WhatsAppLeaks As Arnab Goswami Gets Exposed

Image Source: Anubhooti Gupta / NewsLaundry

If there is one thing that is common about Pakistani and Indian media, it is their tendency to turn their political talk-shows into screaming contests. It is impossible to talk about Indian talk shows and not make Arnab Goswami a part of that conversation.

Don’t believe us? Have a look at it yourself!

What Is The Controversy Involving Arnab Goswami And #WhatsAppLeaks About?

A few days back, WhatsApp was in the news for its updated privacy policy, and many mistook this controversy for that fiasco. However, this leak is entirely different. Several hours ago, well-known Indian News anchor Arnab Goswami, hailed and praised by the far-right Indian extremists for his radical and too controversial views, was in the news himself as his WhatsApp chat leaked.

The chat was between Arnab Goswami and Ex-BARC CEO. Arnab’s texts show how he knew about certain sensitive matters and updates regarding Modi’s Government and their doings before-hand.

Desi Twitter Reacts To #WhatsAppLeaks :

Soon after these screenshots leaked, Netizens turned to their Twitters to vent their frustrations out and many Pakistanis jumped in to poke fun at the situation.

Many have expressed their concerns about how at times the Government, Bureaucracy and Politicians team up and waste the lives of their military forces and law enforcement agencies for their own political gains; while referring to the alleged excerpt from the chat where Arnab reveals he knew something about the Pulwama attack before-hand.

Many Pakistanis hopped in and shared the WhatsApp leaks surrounding our very own superstar as a banter.

How can we forget Imad Wasim amid all this?

Calling out the hypocrisy!

What is politics without war hysteria?

He definitely knew what he was doing.

What Lesson Could Be Learned From The Whole Ordeal?

Jokes apart, this is a cause of concern for everyone as this shows how the media and anchors are capable of persuading us into believing something they want us to. The Pulwama attack was one of the reasons behind high tensions between Pakistan and India, prompting the famous Abhinandan incident. The tensions between the two countries; Pakistan and India who both have nuclear arms were at the brink of war.

This shows why we should be vigilant and analytical of the news that we hear and verify them instead of impulsively and immediately reacting on our instincts and let manipulators like Arnab Goswami, take benefit of our sentiments.

Lahore, 16 January 2021: Pakistan men’s national cricket team will be hoping to make the best out of the two Test-match series against South Africa, which commences from 26 January at the National Stadium in Karachi. This will be Pakistan’s first home Test against South Africa in more than 13 years. South Africa who last visited Pakistan in 2007 and won the two Test-match series 1-0, will aim to continue their winning streak over the host country.

Both sides met for the first time in 1995 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, which the home team won on the fifth day by 324 runs. In the 26 contests so far, South Africa have won 15, while Pakistan have been victorious on four occasions. The last Test between the both sides was in January 2019 in Johannesburg which the home team won by 107 runs.

Pakistan have hosted seven Test matches at their home soil (Pakistan) in which the hosts have won one, lost two and four have remained drawn.

“The two Test matches in the ICC World Championship are very important for us and we will try to get maximum points out of it to improve our position on the table.

“Playing at home ground is always encouraging for the players, and it reflected in our performances in the series against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh last year.

“The series against South Africa is an important one, and I am sure the players selected in the squad have the potential and hunger to give best results in the series.”

South Africa head coach Mark Boucher said: “Pakistan is a dangerous side at home; we will have to come up with a proper strategy to beat them at their own backyard.

“The wickets here in Pakistan are batting friendly, and we are relying on our batsmen to score runs. Their confidence will be high after scoring runs against Sri Lanka. Our fast bowlers will have to work very hard to get wickets.

“Pakistan bowlers will have home advantage, so this series will be a test for our batsmen, but once they are successful in occupying the crease, they will be able to score freely.

Aleem Dar And Ahsan Raza To Umpire South Africa Tests

South Africa Tests

Aleem Dar will officiate in his first-ever Test at home, while on-field umpire Ahsan Raza and match referee Mohammad Javed Malik will also make their Test debuts as the Pakistan Cricket Board, on behalf of the International Cricket Council, today confirmed match officials’ appointments for the two-match series between Pakistan and South Africa, which starts in Karachi on 26 January.

Elite panelist Aleem Dar has umpired in a record 132 Tests since making his debut in 2003 in Dhaka, while Ahsan part of the international panel has umpired in 37 ODIs and 57 T20Is to date. Javed Malik, a former first-class cricketer and a member of the ICC’s international panel, has refereed in 10 ODIs and six T20Is.

Asif Yaqoob and Rashid Riaz will be the third and fourth umpires, respectively, while Javed Malik will lead the playing control team for both the Tests. The second Test will begin in Rawalpindi from 4 February.

As per the ICC’s interim playing regulations, the requirement to appoint third country officials has temporarily been removed from the playing conditions for all international formats owing to the current logistical challenges with international travel. The ICC, however, continues to appoint locally based match officials from the ICC Elite Panel of Match Officials and the ICC International Panel of Match Officials.

For the three-match T20I series, Javed Malik will continue to be the match referee, while Aleem and Ahsan Raza will be the on-field umpires for the first match with Shozab Raza in the TV umpire’s box and Asif Yaqoob as fourth umpire.

Shozab Raza and Asif Yaqoob will stand in the second T20I with Ahsan Raza and Rashid Riaz as third and fourth umpires, respectively, while Aleem Dar and Rashid Riaz will be the on-field umpires for the third T20I with Ahsan Raza and Shozab Raza as third and fourth umpires, respectively.

Aleem Dar: “It will definitely be an emotional moment for me to umpire in a Test involving Pakistan. It has been nearly a 17-year and 132-Test wait, but its about to be over. Like the players, the match officials also want to umpire in matches on home ground, something we achieve in white-ball cricket, but Test cricket remains the pinnacle format and I am delighted that I will be standing in the two Tests between two excellent sides.”

Pakistan v South Africa – Umpire and match referee appointments:

26-30 Jan – 1st Test. Aleem Dar and Ahsan Raza (on-field umpires), Asif Yaqoob (third umpire), Rashid Riaz (fourth umpire); Mohammad Javed Malik (match referee)

14 Feb – 3rd T20I. Aleem Dar and Rashid Riaz (on-field umpires), Ahsan Raza (third umpire), Shozab Raza (fourth umpire); Mohammad Javed Malik (match referee).

ICC’s interim playing regulations, which will be applicable to the upcoming series, are:

Ban on applying saliva to the ball: Players will not be permitted to use saliva to shine the ball. If a player does apply saliva to the ball, the umpires will manage the situation with some leniency during an initial period of adjustment for the players, but subsequent instances will result in the team receiving a warning.

A team can be issued up to two warnings per innings but repeated use of saliva on the ball will result in a 5-run penalty to the batting side. Whenever saliva is applied to the ball, the umpires will be instructed to clean the ball before play recommences.

Additional DRS reviews: The CEC has also confirmed an additional unsuccessful DRS review for each team in each innings of a match, keeping in mind that there may be less experienced umpires on duty at times. This will increase the number of unsuccessful appeals per innings for each team to two for the white-ball formats.

The ICC Cricket Operations team will support Match Referees when processing Code of Conduct breaches and a neutral Elite Panel match referee will conduct any hearing remotely via video link.

Every vehicle nowadays has one prominent requirement. The drivers prefer it if the car has a functioning audio system. But what makes your car cool? The writer of this article believes that the audio system should either be the most recent or an old one. It gives the vehicle an entirely classic feel to have a cassette player inside. It looks entirely old-school to have a collection of tapes full of golden-age songs.

Lock makers and smiths have had their share of the market when the world decided to use locks. It was often considered an extremely cool thing to have a car key that occupied a whole ring.

The concept of a push button to start the car has always highly fascinated people. It looks quite cool when all you do is push the button and the car roars to life. Push start is the future and must be acknowledged as such!

3. Leather Driving Gloves

What better way to get a feel like your favorite getaway driver than with driving gloves? The transporter wore them when Jason Stathum played the character. Not just that, most professional drivers tend to wear gloves too. You, as a regular driver, can also benefit from them. Not only do they increase your grip on the wheel but they also help keep your hands warm on longer trips.

Additionally, you don’t have to worry about burning your hands off on the wheel on a sunny day! So the next time you’re driving your friends around, wear these on for an extra shade of cool.

A First Aid Survival kit can really boost the cool factor of your car. This gives off the impression of a professional cautious driver. It tells the rest of the world that you are absolutely prepared. Imagine having an injury or car trouble and opening the trunk to reveal a whole kit.

Every car has a blind spot. It is that one part of the car that neither the side nor the rearview mirror can see. It is usually because of this spot that a lot of accidents can take place. A person switches lanes and gets hit by a car from behind due to it being in the person’s blind spot. The cool car thing to keep here is a blind spot mirror placed on top of a side mirror.

This not only saves you from lane switching accidents but gives a wider rear view of the road. It is bound to look cool and catch many eyes since not everyone uses such a contraption.

These are just some of the coolest things in a car that every owner should own or keep.

Former Pakistani Cricket Super star, Shoaib Akhtar, who is also referred to as “Rawalpindi Express” who also is also credited for holding the world record for the fastest ball to be ever bowled in cricket has always been extremely vocal about his opinions.

Image Source: Cricket Pakistan

What Did Shoaib Akhtar Say About The Industry?

Recently, Shoaib Akhtar went on a rant against Pakistani advertisements while complaining about the content that is being made.

In an interview that he recently gave, the former fast bowler claimed that Pakistani advertisements lack creativity and also blamed the elite class whose “brain is filled with trash” as he describes in the interview.

Shoaib Akhtar shared his disappointment with the industry and said that he later saw an ad for 4G Internet, literally mistook it as an ad for shoes and was severely disappointed and he considers it trash.

“The worst advertisements are made in Pakistan. Lately, I saw a 4G internet ad and I literally thought that it is an ad for shoes. That was so pathetic.” said Shoaib.’

The former cricket star also shared an experience where he was offered to act in an advertisement for a car to which he agreed on one condition. The condition put forth by Shoaib Akhtar was to be given the opportunity to produce the ad on his own.

How Did That Ad Production Turn Out?

He claimed that the ad was later praised by the audience and asked the management to share their creative brief or the idea they were going to go ahead with. Shoaib claimed that he was thankful they did not go ahead with that idea and instead opted for his production.

It is also important to note that it is a well-known opinion that Pakistani advertisements are not as creative when compared to their Indian counterparts and are likely to have a generic and predictable storyline.

Why Would Shoaib Give This Statement?

Shoaib has always been extremely vocal and blunt with his thoughts and opinions which often involves him taking a polarising stance. Last year when Pakistani cricket team was on tour at NewZealand, Shoaib shared an extensive rant against the player for their irresponsible behaviour.

Other than his amazing cricket career, the sportsman is also known for his bold tweets, referring to Pakistani Captains as “paindu” and is often a part of certain gossips every once in a while. So, this bold stance is not surprising coming from him.

5 Controversial Automotive Ads That Caused Major Uproar!

5 Controversial Automotive Ads That Caused Major Uproar!
PC: JWT India

Time and time again, advertisers have impressed us with amazing out-of-the-box concepts that have WOW-ed us. However, there are also times when brands have left us confused.

Over time, several automotive brands have rolled out many prints and electronic ads, which have sparked significant debates and have become highly controversial.

Some of them were still able to get off the hook as things settled down. But then some were just simply unacceptable and the worst decision that the brands could ever make.

Today, we have compiled a list of some of the most controversial automotive ads that have caused significant uproars on social media.

5 Controversial Automotive Ads That Caused Major Uproar!

1. Drive Your Way Towards A Divorce With Mercedes

Mercedes-Benz’s ‘Not in this weather’ ad is a bit old but still controversial as ever. The ad shows a wife cheating on her husband with her lover. When he questions her about her husband coming home, she quotes, “not in this weather.”

We then see the husband rushing towards a house (we assume to be his to catch the two red-handed). However, as soon as he walks in, his mistress questions him if his wife will be expecting him home more quickly, to which he replies, “not in this weather.”

If Mercedes were trying to advertise the perfect way to drive yourself to a divorce, this would be it. There was no need to show a cheating wife or mistress in relationship to lousy weather. Mercedes, you need to rely on a better advertising company!

2. Kidnap Upto 3 Women In Your Brand New Ford!

Now seriously, Ford, what were you thinking!? JWT India posted an ad for Ford Figo, which was basically like cutting up and throwing yourself into a tank full of hungry sharks.

The ad shows Silvio Berlusconi in the front seat, while three women have been gagged and tied in the back. There was also another version of the ridiculous ad featuring Paris Hilton with the Kardashians gagged in the trunk!

3. Mothers-In-Law Can Now Inspect Their To-Be Daughters-In-Law Like Cows At A Cattle Farm With Audi

Audi China crossed the limit with their super controversial ad that compared a bride to a used car! The ad shows a bride and groom happily getting married when all of a sudden, the ceremony is interrupted by the groom’s mother.

The lady rushed up to the bride and started to pull her nose, check her ears, and even inside her mouth as if she were at a farm and about to purchase new cattle for her home. As she walks away, she gives them a thumbs up to show her approval, and then she glances down at the bride’s chest to check her ‘measurements.’

So, what does buying an Audi have to do with a woman getting married? Everything!

4. All Terrorists Only Drive Volkswagen Polo, Kapish?

According to a racist and controversial Volkswagen Polo ad, all terrorists, no matter where they are, drive the same car. Not just that, the car is super bomb-proof, so if you see a Polo somewhere in the corner of a street, it’s just another terrorist ready to blow themselves up.

Volkswagen, you may want to revise the tagline from ‘Polo. Small but tough.’ to ‘Polo. Small but with a terrorist inside.’

5. Because A ‘Hot’ Teacher-Student Relationship Is Perfectly Controllable For KIA’s Dual-Zone Airconditioner

Dear KIA, I sincerely hope you can explain to parents why their daughters are taking apples to school every other day.

There are absolutely no words to describe how offensive and down-right wrong this ad is. On one side, the comic shows a younger girl talking to a teacher, whereas the other side shows a more mature girl conversing with a much older man.

And we all know where the conversation is headed… Once again, did the team behind this cringe-worthy ad lose their marbles when an apple fell on their heads?

Crime On The Rise:

If we look at the statistics of today and twenty years ago, there is much difference to be seen. One can argue that Karachi’s crime condition has gotten better over the years sinc the rangers entered this territory. However, news of phone snatching and car thefts can indicate otherwise. It may be possible that the arrival of another authority has sent the criminals looking for other domains to commit crime in.

even credit card frauds and various other types of online crimes have become a thing. There are various types of personalities roaming the streets of the dark corners of the internet. In recent news, the UK has had a lot of scammers selling covid vaccines online. Now, a Gang has stolen a Motorcycle in broad daylight. They have done it in record time and no one has been able to understand exactly how this was orchestrated.

Setting New Records:

This crime took place involving a total of three men. It took place in broad daylight in Gulistan – e – Jauhar. According to the FIR report filed, the victim had gone out for household chores. They were at a milk shop, buying the contents when this happened. Just as they were about to pay for their groceries, three men arrived, threw off the helmet.

Then they just kick-started the motorcycle and drove off. It all happened so fast that it was not enough time to comprehend what had happened. By the time everyone realized what had happened, they had sped away. The police have said that they managed to get away this quick because the victim left the key in the ignition. The timing and people involved do point towards a premeditated attack.

Security Is A Concern:

This news gives light on the fact that security is a major concern. Whether you’re living in the suburbs or commercial areas, it is crucial for you to lock your doors and chain your motorcycles. The 70cc has become so common that thieves have shifted to stealing more 125cc motorcycles. It is always recommended to double-check the locks on the vehicle before leaving it.

It is also a good measure to not immediately leave your vehicle if you have parked it somewhere. Even if you are on a motorcycle, keep sitting on it for a while and check your surroundings. Are there shady characters nearby? Should you keep driving for a while? Stay safe, everyone!

It seemed quite cool when a person whipped their phone out and flipped it open, not worrying about the screen falling away.

Now, with smartphones as the new titans of the mobile industry, technology is moving fast. They are climbing up at a pace that was not expected ten years ago. Even Steve Jobs would be proud to see the legacy he has left behind in Apple. Their new chips, processors, as well as phones, are all state-of-the-art! The field of robotics is also seeing some heavy advancements. Samsung has come up with one!

The Everchanging Field Of Robotics:

The title suggests something that runs through our minds every day. Even if you’re not that much into tech, you must still be aware of what the principles behind robotics is. No, we are not referring to the Asimov laws of robotics but the general stuff behind it. People often associate the concepts of artificial intelligence and deep learning with robotics.

The concepts state that, in order to function on its own, a robot can be taught. It works as a learning computer of sorts, allowing humans to program it in such a way. If there is a robot that is cleaning the dishes, it is because it has been programmed to do exactly that. Maybe, through learning, it can clean them more efficiently. In light of this, Samsung has come up with a new robot. It feeds you food and does your laundry!

A New Samsung Robot:

At the online CES convention this week, Samsung had a few words to say. They are going above and beyond to show the world how well they can perform. Just yesterday, we saw the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21. So now what have we seen? There has seemingly been a development for a robot. The robot is being called ‘The Bot Handy’. It has a pivotal arm with a three-point brace, allowing movement on a wider axis.

It has cameras installed on it. These allow for object detection as well as detecting the material of objects. This way, it knows which object to grasp harder and which one to not grasp tight. The cameras also allow for it to sense its environment while moving. It will detect, list and sort laundry and will even pour you a glass of water after a long, hard day!

Towards An Age Of Intelligence:

This advancement tells us that we are moving at an appropriate pace. Whether it is handy robots or self-driving cars, good development is being made. We hope the Samsung robot does not turn against its owners and go on a rage-filled frenzy!

Let us see what other surprises the company has in store for us. It has even already unveiled the SmartTags. These allow you to locate your lost possessions through tracking technology!

Islamabad (January 15, 2021) Telecom sector has emerged as a prominent contributor to Pakistan’s economy and the sector contribution to the national exchequer has shown an increase of 129% in the year 2020 when compared to the year 2019, despite the economy being under pressure due to COVID effects. As per Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) Annual Report 2020, released here today, the sector contributed PKR 278 billion (including PTA deposits to the national exchequer) in FY 2020 as compared to PKR 121 billion in FY 2019 registering Year-on-Year growth of 129%.

A surge in demand for telecom services due to lockdown resulted in significant growth not only in the subscriber base but also in the usage of telecom services. Today, data usage stands at 4,498 Peta Bytes(FY2020) as compared to 2,545 Peta Bytes (FY 2019) showing a growth of over 77%. This substantial growth would not have been possible if the networks were not upgraded. The country currently has international bandwidth connectivity of 3.1 Tera Bytes and around 47,000 cell sites, of which 90% are 4G enabled sites.

According to the PTA Annual Report, in the last five years, total broadband subscriptions in the country grew by 175%. Today broadband subscribers have crossed 90 million showing a growth of around 8% in FY2020. Pakistan has a total broadband penetration of 42.2% in FY2020. The telecom networks are currently available for 87% of the population and PTA is working with operators to increase their network coverage for the remaining 13% of unserved people of the country. The total teledensity now stands at 82% with over 172 million mobile subscribers and 2.2 million fixed-line subscribers.

In 2020, the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) across the economy was affected due to global lockdowns, however, the telecom sector made an iconic share of 25% (USD 623 million) in the total FDI made in the country. Total investment made by the local operators grew by 14.25% and a total of USD 734 million were invested locally. Total revenues of the sector reached PKR 537 billion in FY 2020, which was mainly generated by mobile sector. The financial gains have been equally enjoyed by telecom consumers, the affordability of telecom services in Pakistan have improved over the years and currently the per GB broadband prices are as low as USD 0.20 which is amongst the lowest in the region.

Similarly, due to the Device Identification & Registration System (DIRBS) introduction government revenues increased many folds with tax collection on handset imports. The local manufacturing of handsets has enlivened the telecom ecosystem, with growth in local 4G device manufacturing crossing 34%. Pakistan experienced trials of 5G services which were one of the few firsts in South Asia. PTA is aiming for spectrum auction of LTE, VoLTE services in 2021 as a precursor to 5 G. The regulator is also gearing up for auction of spectrum for high-speed broadband services in AJK & GB.

PTA Annual Report informs that the regulator this year awarded 110 licenses for different telecom services and issued 91 commencement of service certificates to the operators. PTA conducted QoS surveys across Pakistan for data, voice and SMS services and the operators were directed to take corrective measures where they underperformed. PTA conducted a number of successful raids against illegal VoIP setups this year to curb grey telephony.

The Annual Report further revealed that PTA was ranked as 4thgeneration telecom regulator by the ITU, which places PTA in the top five regulators of Asia-Pacific region. The Pakistan Citizen Portal recognized PTA as the best performing organization in complaint redressal satisfaction. The above performance is a testimony that the sector and the regulator are moving in the right direction under the continuous support and guidance of the Government of Pakistan in the form of prudent policies and directions that spur the growth of digital technologies.

While commenting on the situation arising due to Covid-19, the Annual Report further added that year 2020 was an extraordinary year around the world, unexpected, unforeseen and unanticipated events unfolded and changed the way the world was functioning. The new normal, replaced the focus of the world on telecoms and digitalization, the global telecom sector responded to the demands and so did Pakistan. Being at the forefront, while the country was acclimatizing to the changed conditions towards normalization, PTA assured network upgradations, traffic optimization, load balancing that resulted in uninterrupted service provision.

Punjab Govt To Shift The University Of Health Sciences To Solar Power

In a country that suffers terribly from electricity load shedding, it is high time it adopted alternatives of the traditional electricity generating methods. One of the most common alternatives is electricity generation from solar power. Since Pakistan gets quite a bit of it, solar energy is, by far, the best option. And people have indeed started shifting to it, albeit slowly and gradually. But if you want something to become common, installing it in prominent places is the way to go. Punjab Govt has possibly adopted the same strategy.

Punjab govt and electricity 

People in Punjab had already started using solar panels for electricity generation. If you travel to Punjab, even the smaller rural areas, on each house, you will find 2 to 6 panels. But that is for a small village house. For a structure way larger, the number of panels also increases greatly. So imagine the number when I tell you that the structure is the University of Health Sciences. Moreover, since the university teaches hard sciences, one can safely assume that there must be scientific laboratories that need constant electricity. Such a building has been selected to shift to solar power completely, announced the Punjab govt.

Details of the Solar electricity system

The energy minister, Akhtar Malik, says that this way, they will be able to reduce a huge chunk of electricity costs. The plant to supply the university with electricity will be 1 megawatt.

The minister has issued the order for a 1-megawatt plant, but he has also instructed authorities to finish the energy audit of UOHS in 10 days. This must ensure that the 1-megawatt solar system does not waste if the actual consumption of university requires more electricity.

But what led to the Punjab government taking such a decision?

As it turns out, the government has to pay PKR 37 billion just for electricity. Also, there are 95,000 government connections in Punjab. So this is the stepping stone of a greater move; converting all the government connections to the solar model. And Akhtar Malik reiterates it:

“Government connections across Punjab will be shifted to solar to reduce the high energy bills,” said Malik.

Let’s hope that the country sees the advantages of using electricity from a renewable source and not just Punjab, but the whole country adopts this practice. Until then, we will be dependent on the existing modes of electricity generation and used to the nationwide blackouts.
