US, Iran issues should be resolved, SK Niazi

Balancing relief and reality
The government’s stated focus on safeguarding the “common man” carries both political and economic weight. Fuel pricing has a cascading effect across sectors, from agriculture to industry, making it central to overall economic stability. Any relief in thi…
Flood destruction
The annual cycle of monsoons across the subcontinent brings with it an inexorable flood of destruction, reducing years of developmental gains to rubble and displacing millions. In this recurring catastrophe, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDM…
Breaking the Compromise
The Punjab government’s recent decision to recommend that the Centre impose a ban on the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) is a long-overdue and necessary step to reclaim the state's writ. Following the latest wave of violent protests—which saw cities para…
