According to a press release issued by the Media Cell Bilawal House here on Sunday, Chairman PPP said that each police martyr is a symbol of valour and a reminder of the heavy price we pay for peace.

Mayor inaugurates Keamari Fish Food Street
KARACHI: Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab Sunday inaugurated the Keamari Fish Food Street. The project is a Karachi Metropolitan Corporation initiative designed to offer a distinctive recreational area for residents. The launch event was attended by Deputy Mayor Salman Abdullah Murad, Sindh Assembly members Asif Khan and Liaquat Askani, and other officials. Addressing the attendees, Mayor Wahab described the Fish Food Street as a new hub for entertainment and dining. Decorated with vibrant umbrellas and lights, the space aims to attract both residents and visitors. The street features diverse food options, including seafood, barbeque, and traditional fare, with comfortable seating arrangements for families. Mayor Wahab detailed the extensive development work undertaken, including paving, tiling, installation of Victorian-style poles, sewerage lines, entrance gates, patchwork, and kerb stones. Beautification efforts and the addition of colorful umbrellas further enhance the area's appeal. The mayor emphasized that this venture, fulfilling a long-standing community desire, provides a modern and unique space where aesthetics and convenience blend. He stated that such endeavours would continue to improve Karachi's appeal and offer better amenities to its inhabitants. Mayor Wahab attributed the project's realization to the Pakistan Peoples Party's leadership and Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's vision, highlighting the ongoing development work across Karachi. He contrasted this with previous administrations, alleging unfulfilled promises and ineffective slogans of change. He further announced the redirection of heavy traffic away from the city centre through Shahrah-e-Bhutto to Kathore, with the Kathore segment to be inaugurated by Chairman Bhutto Zardari on December 31, 2025. He also mentioned the restoration of key bridges like Native Jetty, Jinnah, and ICI under the PPP's leadership. In line with Independence Day celebrations, Mayor Wahab revealed plans for a new canal from Hub Dam, set for completion within ten months and inauguration on August 14, 2025. This 100 MGD canal will supplement Karachi's water supply, particularly benefiting western districts and Keamari. Other developments include the TP-3 sewage treatment plant in Mauripur to support local fishermen, a new SICVD satellite centre in Baldia Town for cardiac care, and two substantial sports complexes in Mauripur and Baldia. Mayor Wahab affirmed his commitment to Karachi, highlighting its diverse population and lamenting the divisive mindset that has hindered the city's progress. He criticized the federal government's neglect of Keamari, while emphasizing his own dedication to the area's development.

IK underscores need for talks with Afghanistan
ISLAMABAD: The founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and former prime minister, Imran Khan, on Sunday issued a warning against any renewed military operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, calling instead for a dialogue with local communities and neighbouring Afghanistan. In a statement posted on X, Khan said he had sent a 'clear message' to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, stating that 'under no circumstances' should another military operation be allowed in the province or tribal areas. 'When the military and the people confront each other, the military as an institution suffers the most damage,' Khan said. 'Military operations are never the solution. Issues must be resolved through dialogue, in accordance with local traditions.' He called for improved ties with Afghanistan, describing the country as a 'Muslim neighbour' with whom 'all matters should be resolved through discussion.' He also reiterated his opposition to the incumbent regime, urging his supporters to join a new protest movement starting August 5 to 'restore genuine democracy.' 'Just as August 14, 1947, marked our freedom from colonial rule, now August 14 has become significant once again as we confront a situation worse than that earlier slavery.' Khan criticized the traditional political parties, particularly the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), accusing them of acting as proxies for establishment. He also condemned what he called 'politically motivated' court rulings against PTI leaders in Rawalpindi, Lahore, Sargodha, and Faisalabad, stating that convictions were being used to derail PTI's political movement. He criticized Chief Election Commissioner for disqualifying PTI lawmakers without awaiting court appeals. He said PTI would boycott upcoming by-elections to protest what he described as the 'unjust disqualification' of party members. 'We will not field any candidates in the by-elections,' he said.
