#WorldMentalHealthDay: The President of Pakistan Talks About Mental Health!

world mental health day

Today is World Mental Health Day, and the world is speaking up in attempts to either express their pain or raise awareness for those who silently suffer.

While a country like ours still falls far behind on acknowledging and understanding issues of mental health and well being, initiatives are being taken to spread awareness on the matter.

For the fist time ever, the government has categorically spoken up about mental health and THAT is nothing short of an achievement!

Not only did the Government of Pakistan take to its twitter account to tweet about it, but a special address from the President of Pakistan was also uploaded.

Take a look at what Dr. Arif Alvi, President of Pakistan has to tell the public:

“Mental health holds great importance for Pakistan as a nation, too, because a strong nation must have a strong, healthy mind.

Mental illness does not discriminate between rich or poor, man or woman, child or adult. the government of pakistan pledges to make efforts towards battling mental illness and spreading awareness about it.”

While it is a pity that mental health was never given importance on state level before today, it is remarkable that the government has finally decided to give it the significance it deserves.

Poor mental health is the root cause to most of the society’s evils. Let us hope that now that the government has begun paying importance to the issue, greater steps will be taken to ensure solutions for this problem.

Nissan Might Not Launch Cars in Pakistan

Nissan Datsun

Pakistan has been going through a tough economic situation for almost a year now. Although the inflation has caused citizens lots of issues, it has also cause massive chaos for several industries.

One of the industries that suffered the most from the economic crisis is the automotive sector. Because of the drop in the value of the Rupee, imported car parts have become expensive.

Due to this, prices of the vehicles have also increased causing a decline in demand. In such times, international automotive manufacturers like Nissan and Renault have decided to reconsider coming to the country.

Earlier, we shared the news that Ghandhara Nissan Limited wants to bring Datsun cars to Pakistan. However, now it is reconsidering its decision because of the troubles it is facing even before bringing the vehicles.

Reportedly, Nissan was expected to invest Rs. 6.5 billion throughout the next 4 years in the local sector. The manufacturer had plans to assemble the 1200cc Datsun Cross in July 2020, and 1200cc Datsun Go and Go+ were set to be rolled out soon.

Ghandhara had even signed an agreement with Nissan for the local production of the cars at the Port Qasim plant. They had even selected over 20 vendors to manufacture parts for its vehicles.

We have yet to see what Nissan decides and whether or not we will see Datsun cars on roads soon.

Top 10 Personalities Teens Follow on YouTube, Instagram, & Twitter

A lot of us seek refuge in the app by posting looks and expressions we cannot show in the real world, while a lot of us start or become part of communities we love and relate to. It also works as a great ego-booster sometimes, and that makes us love it all the more.

The value of a lot of celebrities is also gauged by the number of Insta followers they have.

One of Instagram’s most loved feature was its ‘Following Activity Log’ tab.

The feature lets you see new likes and comments from people you follow. It also shows any new accounts they may have added to their feed.

It is actually a great way to keep a tab on the activities of your crush. *wink wink*

However, we recently found out that instagram is taking that feature away and boy, the grammers are NOT happy with it at all.

pinktober

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, which is why it is also referred to as Pinktober.

While some see it as invaluable for education and awareness, others celebrate the strength and determination of survivors of this form of cancer.

Pakistan is also participating in Pinktober in its own big and little ways.

Sindh Announces Public Holiday on October 14 on Account of Urs!

PCB, for example, has joined hands with Pink Ribbon and will make the following changes especially for Pinktober:

  • Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium will turn pink to create awareness about breast cancer during the ceremony before the third Twenty20 International sets off between Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
  • Moreover, pink ribbons will be pinned on the captains of both team, while players and match officials will also sport the ribbons over the course of the match.
  • The stumps for the last T2oI of the ongoing series will be branded in pink.
  • All sponsors of the series will also be changing their branding colours in the ground to pink.
  • The PCB has also encouraged fans to wear pink to the Wednesday’s fixture.

One in nine women is at a high risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. However, if detected at an early stage, chances of survival increase over 90 per cent.

Earlier in October this year, the marvelous Minar-e-Pakistan turned pink to raise awareness for breast cancer in Lahore for the month of PINKtober for a campaign by Pink Ribbon.

Pink Ribbon CEO Omar Aftab shared that illuminating the symbolic landmark for their awareness campaign was an honour.

Here is what the professor said:

“If The Muslim 500 was in print back in 1992 and I was the Chief Editor then, I would have nominated Imran Khan as our Muslim Man of the Year because of his brilliant performance in cricket, which culminated in Pakistan winning the 1992 Cricket World Cup — a sport I have always admired for its combination of elegance and intense competitive play,”

The most major impressive factors about Khan’s personality were his excellent performance as a cricketer and his determination to build and run the cancer hospital.
