PUBG Banned Over Negative Influence on Citizens

PUBG Banned

Playerunknown’s Battleground (PUBG) has once again found itself in hot waters as yet another country bans the popular gaming application.

Jordan banned the application on Saturday over ‘negative effects’ on the citizens of the kingdom.

PUBG is a virtual game in which players can play solo, in a group or in zombie survival mode. The objective is to find and collect weapons and other items and kill everyone else in the virtual world.

A source in Jordan’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority warned the game “had negative effects on its users, which led to its being officially blocked”.

The Hunger Games, a movie that sits in a similar pattern was also not openly welcomed in many countries, despite being an international hit. The move follows similar bans in Iraq, Nepal, the Indian state of Gujarat and the Indonesian province of Aceh.

Earlier, the game could not get a license in China, thus it had to be replaced by another game from the same developers.

Jordan has issued a notice to its citizens warning them not to play the highly influencing game. Even psychologists in the country have said it is actively contributing to violence and other negative traits amongst the youth.

Social Media Reacts to Waves’ New TVC Featuring Bushra Ansari as ‘Dadi Cool’

dadi cool ad

Introducing the new Alpha Triplet Deep Freezer, Waves is back with something super cool and funky this time around.

Taking inspiration from the classic tune, Daddy Cool, the new TVC features Bushra Ansari as ‘Dadi Cool’ proving age is just a number and you’re never too old to let loose and just chill.

Bored with the typical dupatta clad desi dadis with constant complaints about backaches, loud music, and almost everything?  Well, Bushra Ansari has always defied age and taken challenging roles that have made a mark on screen, and this time she does it again!

Rebuilding the image of a dadi, the product being advertised converts Bursha into a cool Dadi, who sings, dances and wears whatever she wants to! She’s too cool to care and knows that everyone else is a fool.

On a recent show with Nida Yasir, the legendary actress pointed out that age is just a number to her. “Honestly, in order to keep your heart young, it’s important to change your mindset in reality,” she had said.

While we love the idea of breaking the norms, the execution could have been a bit better, we feel. But wait, we’re not complaining and love to see people do as they please without social judgment and restrictions! Why should young people or men have all the fun?

However, society finds it hard to accept a senior artist play a cool granny and there are mixed social media reactions. Some mocked at the fashion sense, while others criticized the makeup stating that dadi is only making a fool of herself.

PepsiCo’s Aquafina Bottles to be Replaced with Aluminum Cans

Karachi’s Farmers are Producing Vegetables Using Poisonous Water

karachi farmers

Pakistani cuisine is unimaginable without vegetables! And considering how hot the Karachi Summer is, vegetables make for an even more essential part of our daily food intake.

If you thought the ever-increasing price of vegetables in Karachi was the only bad news, let us correct you.

The worse news is that it has been reported that farmers in Karachi are growing vegetables using the toxic water from the Malir River in Karachi.

5 Reasons Mangoes Should Be Part Of Your Skincare Routine

The Malir River’s water is polluted with dangerously toxic waste from factories. Farmers are illegally used hundreds of acres of land near that river to water their crops and grow fruits and vegetables. And the same vegetables are being sold throughout Karachi and consumed by Karachiites.

Thankfully, the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board has taken note of this. Below is the statement that has been received from the board’s Managing Director Asadullah Khan, who wrote it in a letter to District Korangi’s deputy commissioner:

“Assorted groups of farmers are carrying out agricultural activities on scattered pieces of land at the bed of the Malir River, which is obstructing the 36-inch diameter of the main sewerage carrier channel.”

It should be noted that this issue has occurred multiple times before, and this is not the first time that toxic water near the Malir River has been used for cultivation of vegetables.

Not only is this illegal vegetation hazardous for those consuming the vegetables, but the vegetation of food crops from Shah Faisal Colony to the Quaidabad bridge is also causing blockage in the disposal of sewage, which is equally harmful for the residents of those areas.

Following are the regions where the sewerage water was being carried, as identified by the Deputy Commissioner himself:

  • Malir
  • Shah Faisal
  • Mohabbat Nagar
  • Shesh Mahal
  • Azeempura
  • Reta plot
  • Natha Khan Goth and the connecting colonies.

This waste passes through the 36-inch diameter of the main sewerage carrier and is thrown into the Malir River.

Shah Faisal Town’s Khalid, who looks after matters of land utilisation in the Malir-Korangi areas, gave this statement:

“Some notorious elements are carrying out vegetation at the bed of the Malir River on around 50 to 100 acres of land,”

The matter will be take care of and, with support from the police, KMC, and DMC, an operation against these farmers will soon be commenced by the district administration.

Have you been feeling ill after consuming any vegetables lately?

Pakistan Needs a Miracle to Make it to the World Cup Semi-Finals

pak vs ban 2019

Pakistan will face Bangladesh today at Lord’s, and we all have our hearts in our mouths, praying for a miracle in the Pak vs Ban match.

Currently placed fifth in the points table with nine points from eight matches played so far in the World Cup 2019, Pakistan needs to outdo New Zealand and secure a spot in the semi-final.

The Best Mango Desserts You Should Try This Summer

The team will have to score 450 runs and defeat Bangladesh by 316 runs to qualify with the needed net run rate.

All eyes are on the toss! In case Bangladesh decides to bat first, Pakistan will be out of the semis race even before the match begins.

Pakistan’s chances of making it to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup semi-finals look slim, yet captain Sarfaraz Ahmed continues to stay positive and said the team will try to score 500 runs in their upcoming match against Bangladesh.

“We have to be realistic, but we will try to score 500 runs against Bangladesh. We have to score 500 runs and try to bowl out Bangladesh for 50. It is very clear that Pakistan have to beat Bangladesh by 316 runs to qualify for the semi-finals. We will try to win the match,”

said Sarfaraz, at a pre-match press conference held on Thursday.

The highest result achieved by a team so far is 481 – by England against Australia. No other team in ODI history has ever exceeded  that score, proving that this will be a true challenge for Pakistan

Pakistan’s highest total in ODIs is 399 against Zimbabwe. If the team scores 500 runs, they will become the first to achieve this triumph.

However, even if Pakistan get beaten out of the tournament, they can be satisfied with the way they came back strongly after receiving severe criticism, both from the fans and former cricketers after their defeat to India.

While Pakistan still has hope, Bangladesh, on the other hand, are out of the tournament with only seven points from their eight matches.

Are you all set with a screen and snacks to watch the match with your friends? Who do you think will win pak vs ban 2019?

karachi transport strike

The beginning of this week marked another price hike by the government, thanks to which a kg of CNG went up by PKR 22, and now costs around PKR 125, which is more than a litre of petrol.

Karachi Transport Ittehad rejected the price increase. Here’s what the association’s President, Irshad Bukhari, said about it:

“There has never been such an increase before. The buses will stop running now. There is already a dearth of public transport in Karachi,The government should take back its notice,”

Ghias Paracha, the chairperson of All Pakistan CNG Association, was of the opinion that gas rate should be the same for all sectors, as such price hikes pose a great threat to the whole transport industry.

Ali Noor from Rock Band Noori in Dire Health Condition: Fans Grieving and Praying

Despite the price increase, transporters are charging the same fare from passengers. However, it can not go on forever.

Hence, yesterday, the association announced their decision of observing a strike on July 10th. No transporter will bring their vehicle on the roads in protest.

What do you think about the constant increase in CNG prices?
