Is Pakistan becoming Sri Lanka? Locals experience food crisis, hoard LPG gas cylinders
Pakistan is reeling from the worst economic crisis as the country is facing a severe shortage of foreign exchange reserves. Pakistan’s exchange reserves have declined by US$6.7 billion. Meanwhile, China has also reduced its investment in the country. The country’s politics is also in shambles which has taken a toll on the economy. Recently, Pakistan’s government has ordered all malls and markets to close by 8:30 pm under its new energy conservation plans. Besides, they have also asked restaurants to shut down early to save the cash-strapped country about 62 billion Pakistani rupees ($273 million). The move comes as Pakistan struggles to quell default fears in domestic and international markets, with a $1.1 billion IMF bailout tranche stuck due to differences over the ninth programme review, which should have been completed in November. Pakistan’s energy conservation plan also included banning the production of energy-inefficient bulbs and fans from February and July respectively. According to the country’s defence minister, Pakistan’s peak summer electricity usage was 29,000 megawatts (MW) compared with 12,000 MW in the winter, mainly due to the use of fans in hotter months.Half of the street lights across the country will remain switched off as a “symbolic” gestureIn the midst of the energy crisis, people in the northwestern region of the country, that is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province are hoarding gas cylinders, Al Arabiya Post reported. live. The food crisis has also deepened in the country. Additionally, in some videos, people were seen using plastic balloons to fill their LPG cylinders. Food inflation quickened 35.5% year-on-year, while transport prices rose 41.2% in December in Pakistan.Meanwhile, Sri Lanka has been struggling with soaring prices for over a year, largely caused by its worst financial crisis in over seven decades.

‘India’s 140 crore population was forced to face accused’: and 100 richest people’: Rahul Victim slams Air India Gandhi in Panipat Rahul Gandhi resumes his Bharat Jodo Yatra from Sanoli village of Panipat district Agency News : New Delhi Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra of the Congress resumed its journey on the first day of the Haryana leg’s second phase from Panipat on Friday morning. The yatra re-entered Haryana on Thursday evening from Uttar Pradesh. After the night halt, the yatra began from Kurar in Panipat. Addressing a public rally, Gandhi said the yatra has completed 112 days that started from Kanyakumari and “we are given such a warm welcome at Panipat”.“I have a question in my mind... even the country’s population is 140 crore... and only 100 richest people of the country have 50 per cent of the total wealth of the country… Do you see justice in it? This is the reality
of Narendra Modi’s India,” Gandhi targeted the Centre.“If you look at India’s all corporates profit, 90 per cent profit is only with 20 corporates and this country’s half the wealth is only in 100 people’s hands. This is the truth of Narendra Modi’s India,” he added.Gandhi alleged that this government has created two Indias - in one India where poor and common people live and another India in which 200-300 people who have all the wealth live. “You people have nothing. You only have this air of Panipat in which you can’t breathe... it’s cancer,” he added.Gandhi said Panipat was a hub of micro-industries but the demonetisation and GST ruined the small and medium businesses, and this is the story of the entire country.

Deepika Padukone’s “saffron” bikini in Pathaan song Besharam Rang has reportedly been approved by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and its chairperson Prasoon Joshi. Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika, has sparked a major controversy ever since the release of its first song Besharam Rang.

Now, as per a report in ETimes, the CBFC and Joshi, in their collective wisdom,
have decided to let Deepika’s saffron bikini “remain as it is in Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan”. However, a source close to Shah Rukh Khan told ETimes that the team of Pathaan is considering removing the song. “It is under serious discussion,” the source said. Earlier, it was reported that Deepika Padukone’s viral “side pose” in a plunging gold swimwear, the close up shot of buttocks and visuals of sensuous dance movements during the lyrics ‘Bahut tang kiya’ were removed or curtailed and replaced with “suitable shots”.

implement several changes to Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Pathaan’. In an official statement, sent out to the media, CBFC chairperson Prasoon Joshi said, “Pathaan went through the due and through examining process as per the CBFC guidelines.

Rahul Dravid hints at end of the road for Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma in T20Is
Agency News : New Delhi The talks of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being eased out from the shortest format were already there after India’s T20 World Cup exit from the semi-final. They found wind when both the stalwarts were not named - Rohit was injured - in the India T20I squad for the three-match series and now head coach Rahul Dravid has given strong hints of building a young team keeping the next T20 World Cup in 2024 in mind. Dravid did not name anyone let alone Rohit and Kohli but he was quite clear that India have decided to look ahead in T20Is. The former India captain also added that much of the focus of the seniors will now be in the ODI format, considering the 50-overs World Cup is towards the end of this year at home. ”For us, obviously, from the last semi-final (in the T20 World Cup) that we played against England, only 3-4 boys are playing in the XI (against Sri Lanka). We are slightly in a different stage of looking at the next cycle of T20, so ours is a slightly younger team and for us to play against the quality of Sri Lanka is a fantastic experience. The good thing is that a lot of focus is on the ODI World Cup and World Test Championship, so the T20s give us the opportunity to try out these guys,” Dravid told reporters after India lost to Sri
Lanka in the 2nd T20I in Pune. Dravid is right. From the Indian XI that played against Sri Lanka on Thursday, only Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Axar Patel, and Arshdeep Singh were the ones that were part of the team that suffered a 10-wicket loss to England in the World Cup semi-final last year.Hardik Pandya has led India in the two T20I series that they have played against New Zealand and Sri Lanka since the World Cup. The selectors haven’t made an official announcement about Hardik’s elevation but it is likely that he will continue to lead in most of the T20Is going forward.When asked about India’s performance, Dravid said the team management, fans and all others will have to be patient with this young team as they are likely to have an off day like they did in the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka, losing the match by 16 runs. ”Nobody wants to bowl wides or no-balls, in this format it can hurt you badly. We’ve got to be patient with these young kids. There are a lot of young kids playing, especially in bowling, and they will have games like this at times. We need to understand that. We try to help them technically, we support them and create the right environment. They are very skillful, they are learning. It’s tough to learn on the job in international cricket, so we must be patient,” he added.

Women must acknowledge every part of their body and nurture it : Vidya Balan
Actress Vidya Balan has called upon every woman to acknowledge her body. The 44-year-old, who has essayed roles in more than 40 movies, was speaking at the 65th All India Congress of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Kolkata on Thursday. “A woman derives such a large part of her identity from her body. Yet we don’t want to acknowledge the body, we don’t want to acknowledge its desire and needs. We don’t take adequate care of it. Every woman must acknowledge every part of her body and nurture it,” Balan said. She said the onus of women’s health lies not only with her but also with her family. “We keep talking about women’s health, but the onus does not lie just with her. Families need to invest in the health of their women. If we want to be a progressive and successful nation, we must invest in the health of women,” she said. Balan said there has been a lot of change in society with education and awareness, “but still we have a long way to go”. “A small step will go a long way.

Bhojpuri actor Khesari Lal Yadav’s Bhojpuri song Dhamaka Hoi Aara Mein 2.0, which was officially released on December 27, has been slammed by social media users for animal abuse. The song also features actress Poonam Dubey. In the song, Khesari Lal can be seen holding two chickens upside down and dancing with his co-actress. On January 6, People for Animals, an animal welfare organisation, shared a clip of the song on their official Instagram account, and slammed the makers for promoting ‘animal cruelty and abuse’. “Is animal abuse the new form of entertainment? Is this fun? We request all animal lovers to come forward and help us get this clip removed. Do not watch the full video on their profile as you will be increasing their reach. Also, tag @poonamdubeyoffical and @ khesari_yadav and ask them to stop animal cruelty and abuse,’ the
