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…
Growing calls for Statehood
The magnitude of what an occupied population has had to go through is still beyond the scope of these figures, which are cautious by all measures. What has been done to and taken from the Palestinians over the past two years—a people who, even at the begi…
A Vital Shield
Pakistan’s launch of the “Modernization of Hydromet Services of Pakistan” (MHSP) project marks a critical, long-overdue investment in survival. In a nation where the 2022 floods displaced over 33 million people and where torrential rains continue to wreak…

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…
A Shared Responsibility
Plastic pollution is a global crisis that demands a systemic and collaborative response. While the visible waste—plastic bags snagged on trees, bottles bobbing in the ocean—is a stark reminder of the problem, the true issue is far more deeply rooted in ou…

The descent of Gaza into famine is not a natural disaster; it is a profound and preventable moral catastrophe engineered by conflict and obstruction. Despite relentless appeals, a declaration of widespread starvation, and legal duties to protect civilians…
The Choking Reality
