Moreover, it has been directed that men will not be allowed to visit girls’ schools and colleges even as chief guests. Only female parliamentarians and local government representatives will be invited as chief guests at such events.

While talking to the media, Education Minister Ziaullah Bangash told the media: 

At girl’s school events, only female parliamentarians or female officers should be called as chief guests. Entry of men into female education institutes has been banned.

Sharing the reason behind the ban, a senior government official informed:

This happened recently when some photos were shared on social media without the consent of those having been photographed. The issue was reported on the local level but was later brought into the notice of concerned officials who may have pursued the ministry to impose a ban.

Unregistered Mobile Phone Users to be Charged with Regulatory Duty

Regulatory-Duty on Unregistered phones

A small penalty in the form of regulatory duty has been introduced by the government. This duty is for users who continue to use unregistered mobile phones.

Blocked phones can be unblocked by paying the fine along with the penalty at the nearest customs point. As of now, it is estimated that the market has suffered $1.5 billion of loss due to imports of illegal phones.

In 2017-18, the value of mobile phones imported stood at $847.656 million, however, over the years the figure dropped, which had been over the $1bn mark at one time. Increase in customs duty became one of the many reasons for it being smuggled.

The phones which were smuggled within Pakistan via different channels will now be blocked using Device Identification Registration and Blocking System (DIRBS). Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has launched DIRBS back in May to counter the use of substandard phones being illegally smuggled within the country.

Mobile Phone Registration With PTA: Complete Guide

Furthermore, a source had revealed to a local news publication that following November 15th, all consumers will have to text their IMEI number after making a purchase to 8484 to which they will receive a reply whether or not their device is compliant.

In case the device is non-compliant, the customer will be requested to pay the penalty within the next two months along with customs duty, or the mobile will be completely unusable.

PTA suggests that nearly 160mn non-compliant and compliant mobile devices are active. The source has also shared that the government is currently working on the rates for regulatory duty and will share it with the federal cabinet.

As of now, the rate of regulatory duty is Rs250 per mobile sets worth less than $60. It is 10pc of the value of mobile phone if its value ranges between $60-130 per set. It will be 20pc of the value if it is more than $130 and above.

The unregistered mobile phones are those devices that are not registered with the Global System for Mobile Association.

“Today I will tell you a secret. My husband and I have spoken about it and we have decided that whenever we have a child, the child will have Mirza Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So that’s where we stand as a family including my husband. He actually wants a daughter,” Sania said during a panel discussion on ‘Gender Bias’ at the ‘Goa Fest 2018’.

“We are two sisters and have never wished that we had a brother. I have had fights with my uncles and aunts, who talk about it or come up and tell my parents that they should have had a son. For us, daughters are daughters and there was nothing like wanting a son to carry the family name forward,” the 31-year-old from Hyderabad said.

“I have not changed my surname (post marriage) and my name is still Sania Mirza and it will remain that way. The family name is going to go forward,” she said.

However, only two episode of ‘Romeo Weds Heer’ have been broadcast but it has already garnered a huge viewership around the globe.

So far the show is receiving a very positive feedback and it will be interesting to see whether the drama can keep the audience hooked in the coming weeks.

Recently, the actress playing Heer in the serial Sana Javed took to her Instagram account and shared that the drama is trending on number 1 on YouTube with more than 3.1 million views already!

Well, it has just set another level of benchmark and certainly tops everyone’s bucket list of must-watch television shows.

Moreover, the drama is also followed by the fans of followers of the Khaani couple in India.

Few popular Indian YouTubers have given a thumbs up to the OST of the drama and could not help praising the song by Sahir Ali Bagga and Aima Baig.

A duo of Indian Youtubers by the name ‘Reactivity’ talked about the OST and couldn’t stop praising it.

After watching drama, the Youtubers commented:

I feel so happy whenever I see Feroze and Sana together. I wanted to see them together in their previous drama Khaani but its ending was so depressing.

I am sure that most of the people will watch the drama just because of Feroze and Sana. But the good thing is that this serial is not depressing and is filled with romance and comedy.

BankIslami Cyber Attack – Here’s What Really Happened

Bankislami cyber attack

Pakistanis have once again become a victim to a cyber attack, this time, the target was the country’s banking system. Bank Islami Cyber Attack occurred on 27th October as it fell prey to a breach compromising several accounts and reportedly, $6 million went missing.

State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) immediately took action by temporarily restricting the use of debit cards for those who are overseas, however, they can make transactions within the country.

SBP issued a statement claiming;

As a result of a security breach of payment cards of one of the banks in Pakistan yesterday and their unauthorized use on different delivery channels ie at ATMs and POS (point of sale) in different countries, the bank has temporarily restricted usage of its cards for overseas transactions.

Bankislami cyber attack

A Bank Islami account holder has confirmed that he received a message notifying him of his card usage at an ATM in Russia without consent.

A message notified me that somebody used my card somewhere in Russia,  I immediately approached the bank’s helpline but the official simply did not believe my words and blamed me for the leak of particulars saying that I might have shared my bank account details with a friend or relative -Customer said to local publication

A senior banker dealing with cybersecurity confirmed the news while speaking to the local publication. He said:

That is true to the best of my knowledge – an unidentified group of hackers had broken into the data center of the said bank and stole the valuable data of the customers. This was unknown until the bank started receiving complaints from their customers regarding the theft.

BankIslami cyber attack is the third biggest cybercrime in Pakistan and second-largest to have hit the country’s banking system. Previously, Habib Bank and Careem also became victims to the security violations.

For security purposes, SBP has asked the bank to take the following precautions:

  • Security measures on all IT systems including those related to card operations should be continuously updated to meet any challenges in future
  • Resources are deployed to ensure the 24/7 real-time monitoring of card operations related systems and transactions
  • Immediately coordinate with all the payment schemes switch operators and media service providers the banks are integrated with to identify any malicious activity of suspicious transactions.

BankIslami Responds to Cyber Attack

BankIslami also released an official statement on the matter:

On the morning of October 27, 2018, certain abnormal transactions were detected by BankIslami on our International Payment Scheme for Debit Cards.

Alhamdulillah, BankIslami team immediately took precautionary steps which included shutting its International Payment Scheme. All funds withdrawn from the accounts (i.e. Rs. 2.6 Million) of our valued customers have been reversed.

As a precautionary measure, all transactions routing through international payment scheme (Local and International POS, ATM and eCommerce) have been stopped.

However, we restored our Biometric ATM cash withdrawal service for our customers, the very same day.

Our technical teams are working in close coordination to restore other services.

JS Bank Halts Debit Cards

Journalist Threatens Self Immolation After Media Houses Fire Employees

journalist

A senior journalist from Lahore has threatened to immolate himself in a video message after getting fired from his job without any prior notice or explanation from a channel.

Outside the Press Club of Lahore, Naveed Rizvi who was a senior journalist at Abb Takk TV explained how media houses have started to fire their employees to cut off their expenses.

BOL News Headquarters Hit with Protesters as it Fires Over 250 Employees!

Naveed and other victims of a similar situation have been protesting against this decision for the past few days, but no action has been taken so far.

Giving a 15-day deadline, Naveed Rizvi has warned that if their termination is not taken back, he will set himself on fire so that his fellow workers can gain the attention of the concerned authorities.

Watch the video below!

نوید رضوی کو اچانک ابتک ٹی وی سے نکال دیا گیا اب صرف 14روز باقی رہ گئے انہیں نوکری پر بحال کیاجائے وگرنہ وہ خود سوزی کر لیں گے،،،

Posted by M Adnan Sheikh on Friday, October 26, 2018

He stated the fact that only lower grade employees, whose salary ranges from 20k to 50k, are being fired while no one is betting an eye on people earning a handsome amount. He revealed that they are the one who suffer the most during the field work yet they are getting repaid for their services like this.

Naveed Rizvi has suggested that the salary of the terminated workers can be compensated if they cut off some amount from the higher-grade officers and this way no one gets to lose their job.

The senior journalist has also appreciated some of the media houses who have not fired their employees and encouraged their decision.

Ending his video message with “Pakistan Zindabad”, he has also requested the authorities to take action against this decision otherwise, he has no other choice than to immolate himself outside Lahore Press Club after 15 days.

Let’s hope his voice reaches the those at the helm and this issue gets resolved as soon as possible.

#DewMotoExreme Brings Action & Adventure to Islamabad

#DewMotoExreme

Adventure is like food for the soul for those who enjoy it. Your body craves that amazing sensation when a rush of adrenaline goes through your veins.

Mountain Dew brought the heart-pumping action to the capital city this weekend on 27th October! The event has left fans buzzing with excitement and yearning for more.

The arena came to life when heart-throb Feroze Khan kick-started the show on his own decked up bike. He fearlessly lead an action-packed procession of 20 heavy bikers around the stadium showing his biker-boy side.

#DewMotoExreme

This was followed by the best of the best – Dew’s professional athletes took over the #DewMotoExreme course with eye-popping stunts leaving everyone in awe as they flew into the air performing jumps, leaps, somersaults and much more.

These amazing stunts were marvelously pulled off by Dallan Goodman, Fredrick Frog Bergren and Nick De Witt on FMX bikes. But the night did not end there.

Didi Bizzarro, the Italian rider rode into the arena on his Superbike and left burning tracks in the concrete!

The audience was not only enjoying the wild stunts but was also grooving to one favorite EDM experts Somewhat Super who performed that night and gave the crowd a spectacular evening. Josh amped up the night even more with their heart-thumping music!

Gari Se Yari: This Pakistani Brand is Breaking Stereotypes About Women Behind Wheels

Gari se Yari

People automatically assume that a woman must be behind the wheels when a car is incorrectly parked or if the driver is taking too long to reverse.

Stereotyping the female gender, especially when it comes to driving prowess is quite the norm! Unfortunately, this is a blown-out-of-proportion myth. Women are actually smarter car buyers and drivers compared to men!

However, when it comes to car problems, like a flat tyre, oil changes or cars heating up – that’s when the girls look towards male support in when faced with car trouble.

But all that is soon going to become a thing of the past!

Gari se Yari

This concept was portrayed through some light-hearted humor by our Pakistani chocolate-boy Sheheryar Munawar and bubbly comedian Faiza Saleem. In a video that seems right out of a movie scene, our heroine is shown to be stuck with a punctured car and no juice left in her phone battery.

Gari se Yari

All of a sudden, she is approached by a handsome lad who delivers an iconic ‘filmy’ dialogue  “Bari bari gaariyon mein aise chote chote muslay toh hote he rehte hai” he says.

Gari se Yari

With the last 3 steps, pin, tighten and tweak, VOILA! She walks away with the self-satisfaction of being able to change the tyre herself.

However, this doesn’t end in the typical way – he’s left with a surprise at the end!

Watch the video below

https://youtu.be/HAUP1d-rbzg

What really appealed to us in the video is that Faiza is the one who does all the work, from loosening the bolts to replacing a whole tyre whereas Sheheryar supports her while making sure she is the one who gets it done to make a point.

A Myth-Breaking Idea

Quirky, fun, unique and most importantly informational, the ‘Gari Se Yari’ video is breaking stereotypes by teaching women how to change tyres without depending on a male figure to rescue them.

It highlights how important it is to encourage the female gender to be self – sufficient in any situation. The campaign also shows the sweet relationship between a girl and her car. Women can easily handle all car issues themselves with just a bit of guidance.

Kudos to TotalPARCO for stepping up to empower women and play their role for the betterment in society.

We cannot wait to enjoy our next lesson!

The brand realizes that children should be allowed to discover things on their own and enhance their creativity while having fun. A friendly interaction with kids of their own age also helps them enhance their communication skills.

A Worthwhile Experience for Both Parents & Kids

Gone are the days when taking children to movies made parents anxious. Especially parents with young kids, sometimes, have to think twice before taking them to a cinema house. Often, children get overwhelmed inside theaters and end up disturbing the audience.

Now, the launch of Gluco Minipax makes it easy for both parents and children to enjoy movie time.

This innovation in mainstream cinema aims to encourage family outings and togetherness. Parents can sit back and relax while their little ones have never-ending fun and a lot to learn through movies.  They also do not have to worry about if their children are being too loud or restless in their seats.

Consequently, Gluco Minipax will be a worthwhile option for parents providing a safe and fun entertainment zone for their children.

Sale-Of-Tobacco-Products-banned-In-Educational-Institutes
Misconceptions about smoke-free products such as vapes, oral nicotine pouches, and heated tobacco products persist.

On Thursday, the Lahore High Court banned the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products in universities and colleges across Punjab.

Justice Ali Akbar Qureshi passed the instructions to ban smoking in educational institutions after hearing a petition.

Lahore High Court Imposes Ban on Smoking In Public Places

He further requested teachers to avoid smoking during their duty hours as it leaves a bad impact on students and the majority of smokers start the habit in colleges and universities.

However, barring smoking in educational institutions is not being properly implemented by the concerned authorities.

To tackle the issue, Justice Qureshi also directed to ensure implementation of the complete ban as per the orders of the court.

Earlier this month, the Lahore High Court also issued the order to impose a ban on smoking in public places.

The Court directed the Punjab government to strictly enforce laws relating to a ban and has also summoned the Director General (DG) Social Welfare Sajid Zafar Dall.

It was advised to Punjab chief secretary to arrange a meeting and give a brief information regarding the ban to the relevant department.

It has been reported that tobacco is a cause of death of around 160,000 people each year.
