According to her legal team:

It is unfortunate that Ali Zafar is misleading everyone by his incorrect and false statements

It also added:

Ali Zafar’s statement that Meesha made sexual harassment allegations against him in order to get international fame and so as to get Canadian immigration is false and defamatory

The public and Pakistan’s entertainment industry overall seems to have mixed opinions regarding the case.

On one hand, die-hard Ali Zafar fans are celebrating his court victory, while Meesha’s fans are openly dismissing the decision.

While addressing a media conference, Kazim shared that the UAE has already gone ahead and granted some countries with visa exemptions such as China and Russia. Pakistan may also be on the list given its active participation in the mega-event.

Dubai Freelance Work Permit for Technology Sector Launched

We’re still pushing for more and more countries to be added to that and we’re working with the authorities to make sure that’s happening. The first thing we need to focus on is removing any barriers.

The country has witnessed a surge in tourism after they revised via rules and granted visa on arrival to Chinese and Russian citizens, Kazim shared. For a fee, the visa can be extended as well.

Overall, Expo 2020 is projected to contribute Dh122.6 billion to the UAE’s economy and create nearly 50,000 full-time jobs per year between 2013 and 2031, the study showed.

UAE is expecting a ‘boom’ in their tourism sector particularly from October 2020 to April 2021 as stated by Ernst & Young said in a study of the economic impact.

Instagram & Snapchat Likely to Restrict Screenshots After WhatsApp

Apr 26, 2019

WhatsApp has been experimenting with many different features in order to tackle fake news and other privacy-related matters.

Recently, the application was spotted testing a no-screenshot feature which prevented a user from taking shots of the chat.

Now, it is speculated that Instagram and Snapchat are also deciding to prevent users from doing the same.

How to Use Snapchat App: Step by Step Guide

In a recent report, Dazeinfo has shared that Snapchat is going to make it even trickier for individuals to capture the images, even the old turn-off-the-wifi-and-screenshot trick will not work for users.

On the other hand, Instagram might take-up Snapchat’s idea of notifying users of the name of the user who has done the deed.

Instagram is Testing Screenshot Alerts for Insta Stories!

Not only will these restrictions contribute to helping with privacy and curbing of fake news, but will also help in building trust between the user and the platform, given how Facebook has been in hot waters over user privacy and other reasons the last few months.

The main objective of this training session and DigiTales as a whole was to stress upon the importance of recognizing Facebook’s changing dynamics and transforming role since the platform is not just a mere social media tool anymore but an emerging digital marketing asset.

DigiTales was well attended by the following brands: Interwood Mobel, Butterfly, Hiba Life, Sipona, Culligan, Engro Foundation, Rapid Compute, Ziauddin Group, NTL and US Consulate.

Apr 25, 2019

In Pakistan, Uber celebrated its ‘Global Service Week’, where employees engaged in various volunteer work across cities.

Clad in black and white T-shirts emblazoned with ‘Uber in the community’, the volunteers, visited the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital (SKMH), Patient’s Aid Foundation (PAF), Fatima Memorial Hospital, and SOS village.

At Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital (SKMH), the Uber team distributed toys amongst the child patients and spent time with them at the hospital.

During this service week, Uber Pakistan also aligned with a leading non-profit in Karachi, Patient’s Aid Foundation (PAF) focusing on osteoporosis awareness. As part of the activity, Uber employees came up with ideas to promote DEXA scan – one of the screening methods for osteoporosis – at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, set-up by PAF, which is available free of cost for females.

Uber volunteers also managed to contribute to Fatima Memorial Hospital in a way that would create a significant impact on the organization. The Uber teams did some brainstorming sessions with the hospital teams and provided recommendations to help the institution implement successful plans and campaigns.

Lastly, the Uber team visited SOS Village and spent time while taking the children through creative thought-development games and activities, followed by an entertaining talent show put on display by the children alongside Uber team.

Uber Pakistan has organized a number of activities to serve the community both organically through the platform, and through programs and philanthropy. Last year, Uber partnered with Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) to empower women by helping selected BISP beneficiaries to acquire driving skills and providing them 100 rickshaws with minimal installments for repayment. Aiming to enable women to exit the poverty cycle through sustainable earning opportunity.

Similarly, last year, an awareness drive was conducted by driver partners in Lahore wherein they distributed free smog kits to Uber riders, to give them some relief during their daily commute in the smog season.

Uber also teamed up with Kashf Foundation in a bid to educate driver partners on how to refrain from inappropriate behavior to recognize and prevent unsuitable actions. Titled ‘Dignity at Work’, this training was a part of Uber’s global initiative to help prevent harassment of any kind.

Moreover, Uber’s Pakistan-based executives can be seen volunteering for mentorship programs at the National Incubation Center across Pakistan. Every year, the tech firm organizes a national startup competition giving an opportunity to aspiring tech startup professionals to be guided by experienced trainers and eventually have their ideas judged by investors and mentors during the course of the competition.

Such initiatives are a testament to the fact that Uber takes its social responsibilities seriously and continues to make a difference in the communities it operates in.

While addressing the Pakistan Society of Agricultural Engineers at University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF), Qureshi shared that it is possible to produce low-priced electricity in Pakistan.

He added that the high costs of electricity are taking a negative toll on Pakistan’s exports and there is a dire need to improve the agriculture situation to stabilize the national economy.

Collaborated efforts are needed for supporting the farming community, the downtrodden segment of society, and to promote modern and smart technology for increasing per-acre productivity.

UAF Vice Chancellor Dr. Muhammad Ashraf also shared his two cents and added:

Engineers should come up with low-cost agro-technology for small farms so that per-acre production can be increased manifold.

Private Schools Fee for Summer Vacations Barred by SHC

The Sindh High Court (SHC) has barred private schools from charging summer vacation fees from parents in advance.

A notification was issued in this regards by SHC on Monday in which the authority has strictly warned schools about receiving the advanced fees.

On the other hand, parents have been asked to submit the receipt with the court in case of non-compliance.

“Supreme Court had refunded one-month fees last year. What’s the reason to collect charges this year against the court’s order?” the court questioned.

The administration was also warned of contempt charges if any school was to get caught ignoring the court’s orders.

Drug Testing of School Students to be Introduced by Punjab Govt

On 8th April, the high court passed a verdict that private schools will not charge more than one month’s fee from students and showed resentment on the ‘extortion’ of two to three months’ payment in advance.

Justice Aqeel Abbasi shared, “You people are even ahead of the tax department. Don’t violate the court’s orders. We are now handling the issue leniently, don’t force us to come harder at you.”

“Do you pay three months’ salaries in advance to the teachers?” the bench questioned. “You are paying Rs. 25,000 (to teachers) while getting a signed Rs. 50,000 receipt,” the judge remarked.
