LAHORE: Pakistan Railways (PR) is facing a daily loss of over Rs30 million as its IT department has failed to fully restore the nationwide crashed reservation system even after four days, it was learnt on Saturday.

No online ticket bookings have been entertained since Tuesday last, while the counter bookings also remain suspended. The passengers are suffering due to the incompetence of the PR department. The e-ticketing system and rail communication could not be revived fully, while the internet connectivity of the Railway headquarters also remains suspended. It was reported on Tuesday that the passengers face problems as the ticket reservation system of the PR crashed across the country. The passengers willing to travel through the PR are facing hardships in getting their reservations. Earlier on January 23, Railways Minister Azam Khan Swati had assured citizens that the government is taking effective steps to make Pakistan Railways into a profitable entity.

30 million in zoo dollars is literally under 1.5 crore INR. So the whole of Pakistani Railway (at least the reserved compartments) makes less profit or revenue than many private Volvo bus operators in India?

BTW, this Azam Swati guy is a zamindar type who was in the news a couple of years ago because he had some children imprisoned because their buffalo entered his property.

I'm getting worried.

Beware of Fake COVID-19 Vaccines from China, Some of them sold in Pakistan

There were some reports that Coronavirus was causing low sperm count and now Chinese vaccines for it are causing impotency.
Interesting because they've sold the same to Pakistan. Are paki people aware? Why don't they buy European vaccines instead?

Coronavirus can cause male infertility: Study
https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/hea ... lity-study
COVID-19 can cause male infertility by harming the testicular cells which produces sperms thereby making it difficult to make the female pregnant, says a new study done by the scientists of Israel
COVID-19 can cause male infertility by harming the testicular cells which produces sperms thereby making it difficult to make the female pregnant, says a new study done by the scientists of Israel.

The study, published in the journal of Fertility and Sterility, claims that the studied men had a reduction of around 50 percent on average of the number of sperm per milliliter, total volume of ejaculate, and motility of sperm.

Nobody knows yet how severe this problem is and these effects are reversible or not. Infection is accepted as a possible underlying cause of male infertility. For example mumps may have a long term effect on fertility of male patients and can cause azoospermia, so we know viruses can have such an impact.

becoooz..European vaccine is not available for free or kidney barter

This is hilarious. It seems that Dimran did a very hyped up Q&A session on TV in which he pretended that the callers were live, but it turns out that the whole program was staged and recorded, with the 'questions' being made up in advance

PM Imran kicks off Pakistan's Covid-19 vaccination drive, February 2, 2021
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday evening oversaw the start of Pakistan's coronavirus vaccination campaign, with the first jab administered to a doctor in Islamabad.
Speaking at a ceremony to mark the launch of the drive, the premier congratulated his government's health team for moving rapidly to secure the vaccine and thanked China for donating 500,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine to Pakistan. He reiterated that the vaccine will be first administered to health workers working with Covid-19 patients, followed by the elderly in the high-risk age group.
"This (vaccine) is being distributed equitably among all the provinces so no one thinks we've provided more of it to one province," he said.
Prime Minister Imran urged all healthcare workers to get the vaccine, saying they were most at risk. He also appealed to the public to follow the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) and wear a mask.
"If Allah has blessed Pakistan as compared to the rest of the world, we should be grateful for that and take full precautions," he emphasised. "If there is anything that slows the spread of the virus, it is a mask.

Pakistan Secures 17 Million Doses of AstraZeneca Coronavirus Vaccine
By Ayaz Gul, January 30, 2021
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan announced Saturday it has secured 17 million doses of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine through the World Health Organization's COVAX program to vaccinate its citizens against COVID-19.
Additionally, the government said, a plane will fly to China on Sunday to airlift an initial tranche of the 500,000 doses of Chinese Sinopharm vaccine Beijing has gifted to Islamabad.
The coronavirus pandemic in Pakistan, a country of about 220 million people, is relatively under control. The South Asian nation detected the outbreak nearly a year ago and has since documented more than 543,000 confirmed COVD-19 cases, with close to 12,000 deaths.
Dr. Faisal Sultan, special health assistant to the prime minister, said Saturday that almost seven million doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine will be available for Pakistani citizens in the first quarter of the year and the rest within the second quarter of 2021.
Sultan said in a statement that the vaccination drive was expected to start next week, beginning with front line healthcare workers.
“COVAX’s timely support and delivery of the vaccine is testament of global stakeholders’ trust in Pakistan’s preparedness for vaccine roll-out,” he noted.The WHO’s COVAX is a global program to vaccinate people in poor and middle-income countries against the coronavirus. The plan aims to deliver at least two billion vaccine doses by the end of 2021 to cover 20 percent of the most vulnerable people in 91 nations across the globe.
AstraZeneca’s vaccine has been developed with Oxford University researchers and it is being used as part of a mass immunization program in the United Kingdom.

I am amazed that a nation of ~250 million people cannot make a whole virus vaccine, a technology that is a century old.

It would have to be a degenerate cesspool of inbred citizens....oh wait...never mind.

Senate approves bill mandating Arabic be taught in all Islamabad schools
Nadir Guramani, February 1, 2021
The Senate on Monday approved the Compulsory Teaching of the Arabic Language Bill 2020 which makes teaching of the Arabic language mandatory in primary and secondary schools in Islamabad.
The bill was presented by PML-N Senator Javed Abbasi and approved near-unanimously by members of the Senate, with PPP Senator Raza Rabbani offering the sole dissenting note. The ministry concerned will implement the bill within a period of six months.
The bill states that Arabic will be taught in schools in Islamabad from grades 1 to 5, while Arabic grammar will be taught to grades 6 to 12.
Abbasi said Arabic is the world's fifth most-widely spoken language and the official language of 25 countries. He emphasised that learning Arabic could open up more job opportunities for Pakistanis in the Middle East and lead to lower unemployment and increased remittances. He also said the Holy Quran and daily prayers were read in Arabic and "we would not go through the problems we are currently facing if we understood the Holy Quran."
He added that he was in favour of multiple languages being taught such as Russian, Spanish and English. "No one objected to this [teaching of English] and said that English shouldn't be taught."
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan concurred with Abbasi, saying that the government "categorically supported" the bill. He added that according to Article 31 of the Constitution, "Measures should be taken to spend our lives according to the Holy Quran and Sunnah." According to Khan, learning Arabic was crucial to "become a good Muslim [...] and understand God's message".

Added later: And I thought Mandarin would be made compulsory in Paklands.

I think they should Ban Punjabi, Urdu, Sindhi and compulsorily teach Turkic and Mandarin in Pakistani Schools.

Gautam, see even a fundamentalist all-powerful President like Zia-ul-Haq didn't implement this. Obviously, this is a reaction to the developments taking place.

The Pakis are getting kicked by those from the desert Kingdoms. Moreover, Indian influence there is disproportionately growing. So, the Pakis need to placate them, Wahhabis. Pakistan needs to walk a very tightrope. On the one hand, it is in alliance with China-Russia-Turkey-Iran and on the other, it cannot afford to antagonize the al-Sauds & al-Nahyans much.

OTOH, the Chinese need the Pakistanis for geopolitical/geostrategic reasons. They have to recover something from the bottomless CPEC sinkhole in which they invested heavily! For Pakistan it is deja-vu. It is like Jinnah saying "The Americans need us more than we need them". Has China entered a bear honeypot-trap?

Languages to be taught in schools in Porkistan - Arabic, Turkish and Chinese. Languages to be dropped - Sindhi, Pashto and Seraiki/Hindko.
Kaumi (National) Language will continue to be Urdu "Bollywood Hindi"

Note that it is only for Islamabad though. It is possible that they are trying to please all masters, by for e.g teaching Arabic in Isloo but Chinese in Karachi and Turkish in Lahore etc.

women's equality in paxtan..

two things are noteworthy
1. police is very well equipped
2. the level of aggression in average paxtani masses is quite high..

btw the guy in action is a famous pop singer with famous punjabi songs like "12 saal", "adhi addhi raat".
One of his song was also in flopped b'wood movie "khair mangdi"

the desert dwellers seem to be very keen on establishing long term, dependable and reliable supply chains for food as also assured and politically stable revenue streams from heavy investments in Hindu nuclear India which is now also conventionally very powerful, well armed and has shown itself as more than capable of standing up to the hans and has an inherently prudent economic base with a demonstrated capability for organic growth and continued infrastructure develpoment.

They don't any more seem to trust the west all that much with their sovereign fund investments.

Don't see any other reason for them to otherwise prefer us over the pakis, euros and the turkis

The latest joke from the Paki army chief,mouthing about" peaceful coexistence with India" , makes one want to puke.
There is not the tiniest ray of sunshine of peace entering into the jet black tunnel of terror that Pak has been perpetrating in J&K for decades. The illegitimate spawn of the Paki military,its ISI, has been perpetrating continuous terror in India,Afghanistan, even in Iran, apart from unleashing genocide against the Baluchis,Shiites,etc. The flatulent general can break wind about peace as much as he likes but the situation on the ground tells a different tale.

This appears to be a scurvy, slimy atìtempt at diplo.[l)l))) deception by the Pakis to trick our MEA mandarins who will clutch at any straw that promises the false dawn of peace with Pak. The proof the say is in the pudding. The Paki army chief might mouth one thing,but the reality is different.

Most peaceniks read just the headlines and call this a welcome, conciliatory move from the army. However, if you read his full statement made at the LaWhore Cantt, tucked away in the fine print, Bajwa made the settlement of the Kashmir issue a condition to any peace talks.

After "Aapne ghabrana nahi hai", add one more phrase to Im duh Dim's infamous advices: "Have some patience".

India does that many vaccinations, per day.

These will probably be used by Jernails and Kernails. And then their Missus. And then their brothers/sisters in Massa with Pizza Hut franchises. And then their poodles and domestic help.

even that is also to buy time in the hope that situations will turn around for them. By sheer luck they have managed this for last 70 years..

And....here's the U-turn from Waist Bajwa (didn't take long for this 180 degree turn):

Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa also issued a message..."Time to end this human tragedy and resolve Kashmir issue as per aspirations of people of J&K and UN resolutions."

All that "extending hand of peace" and "let bygones be bygones" was for the western ears. For me, the new name for that benighted land - Pak-U-Stand.

Pak-U-Stand should enroll Rihanna, Mia Khalifa and Greta to tweet their support on Cashmere. There must be a toolkit somewhere for this.
