Dubai, the iconic city of the United Arab Emirates, has recently been ranked as the cleanest and safest city globally. The ranking comes as a result of a global survey conducted by CEOWORLD Magazine, a leading business and finance publication. The survey considered several factors such as crime rate, environmental policies, air quality, and sanitation standards, among others. Dubai came out on top in all these areas, securing its position as the cleanest and safest city in the world.

One of the factors that contributed to Dubai’s top ranking was its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. The city has implemented several initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint and promote eco-friendliness. For instance, it has invested heavily in solar energy and is home to the world’s largest solar park. Additionally, the city has a robust recycling program, and waste management is highly regulated to ensure that the environment is kept clean and healthy.

Dubai’s excellent infrastructure and transportation system also played a significant role in the city’s ranking. The city boasts of an efficient public transportation system, including a world-class metro system, buses, and taxis. These modes of transportation make it easy for residents and visitors to navigate the city safely and efficiently. The city also has an advanced traffic management system that helps to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, enhancing safety for road users.

Dubai’s commitment to safety is evident in the low crime rate in the city. The city has strict laws and regulations that ensure public safety is upheld at all times. The police force in the city is highly trained, and the presence of security personnel is felt in all public areas, providing a sense of security to residents and visitors alike.

The city’s sanitation standards are also exceptional, with high cleanliness levels maintained throughout the city. The city’s authorities have set strict standards for cleanliness, and regular inspections are carried out to ensure that these standards are upheld. This attention to detail has helped to create a city that is not only safe but also attractive and appealing to visitors.

In conclusion, Dubai’s ranking as the cleanest and safest city globally is well-deserved. The city’s commitment to sustainability, safety, and sanitation standards has helped to create a city that is not only beautiful but also healthy and safe for residents and visitors alike. As the city continues to grow and expand, it is essential that these values are upheld to maintain its position as a global leader in cleanliness and safety.

Iffat Omar Marches Against Pay Disparity in The Industry, Faces Bashing and Personal Attacks

The participants of Aurat March Lahore talked about Feminism in Time of Crisis this year. They asked organizers to design placards and posters for the same cause and already informed everyone that no discriminatory posts will be tolerated.

We will not condone any message that will instigate or propagate violence and hate speech,” Iffat Omar who is known to be vocal against several issues also took to the streets of Lahore and demanded equality on payscale. Her placard read, “Kaam pura tou ujrat aadhi kiun?” which can be translated to, “why pay half when the whole work has been done?”

Omar’s placard was shared on media and social media and since then, many social media users seem to have problems with her stance. Though her placard is not derogatory or inciting hate but she is recieving bashing from people with a specific mindset. “If I don’t know how to act, then why do [they] chase me for work? I refuse to work! So literally, go to hell if you are ridiculing pay gap in Pakistan.” She added, “I don’t know how to act but even Mahira doesn’t get paid as much as Fawad. Women like you, who don’t support other women demanding their basic human rights, are the biggest disappointment.” One user commented, “It’s because of your face, the rest of them get paid full.” Another tweeted, “Say this to the people who paid you half.”

Challenges of Reducing Reliance on Fossil Fuels in Developing Countries

Photo credits: AFP

Developing countries face significant challenges in reducing their reliance on fossil fuels. While there is a growing recognition of the need to transition to renewable energy sources, the transition is often easier said than done.

One of the main challenges is the cost of renewable energy technologies. Developing countries often lack the financial resources to invest in renewable energy infrastructure and technologies, which can be expensive to install and maintain. As a result, they continue to rely on fossil fuels, which are often cheaper and more readily available.

Another challenge is the lack of infrastructure to support renewable energy. Many developing countries lack the necessary grid infrastructure to distribute renewable energy to consumers. This is a significant barrier to increasing the use of renewable energy, as it limits the ability of developing countries to access and use energy from sources like solar and wind power.

Additionally, developing countries often lack the necessary policy and regulatory frameworks to support the transition to renewable energy. There may be a lack of incentives for companies to invest in renewable energy, or there may be regulatory barriers that make it difficult to obtain permits or licenses for renewable energy projects.

Finally, there is a lack of awareness and education around renewable energy technologies in developing countries. This can make it difficult for individuals and communities to understand the benefits of renewable energy and to advocate for its adoption.

In conclusion, while reducing reliance on fossil fuels is critical for combating climate change and promoting sustainable development, developing countries face significant challenges in making the transition to renewable energy. Addressing these challenges will require a multi-pronged approach that involves investing in renewable energy infrastructure and technologies, developing policy and regulatory frameworks to support renewable energy, and promoting education and awareness around renewable energy. It is important that developed countries provide support to developing countries in these efforts to ensure a more sustainable future for all.

Progress and Challenges in Women’s Protection and Empowerment in Pakistan

Photo credits: AFP

Pakistan, like many other countries, has been grappling with issues of women’s protection and empowerment for decades. Despite some progress in recent years, there are still significant challenges that need to be addressed.

In terms of progress, Pakistan has taken some important steps to protect women’s rights. In 2006, for instance, the Protection of Women (Criminal Laws Amendment) Act was passed, which made domestic violence a criminal offense. In 2010, the National Commission on the Status of Women was established to promote and protect women’s rights, and the same year saw the passage of the Acid Control and Acid Crime Prevention Bill, which made acid attacks punishable by life imprisonment. More recently, the Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Act was passed in 2016, which provides legal and institutional mechanisms for protection, relief and rehabilitation of women against all forms of violence.

However, despite these efforts, there are still significant challenges that need to be addressed. Gender-based violence continues to be a pervasive problem in Pakistan, with many cases going unreported and perpetrators often escaping punishment. Moreover, the cultural and societal norms that perpetuate gender inequality and discrimination remain deeply entrenched.

One of the key challenges in addressing these issues is changing the mindset of Pakistani society. There is a need to promote gender equality and challenge the patriarchal attitudes that underpin many forms of violence and discrimination against women. This requires a multi-pronged approach that involves education, awareness-raising, and legal and institutional reforms.

Another challenge is the lack of access to justice for many women. The justice system in Pakistan is often slow and cumbersome, and many women face obstacles in accessing legal remedies for violence and discrimination. This is particularly true for women from marginalized communities, who may face additional barriers such as poverty, illiteracy, and lack of legal awareness.

In conclusion, while Pakistan has made some progress in protecting and empowering women, there is still much work to be done. Addressing the challenges of gender-based violence, changing societal attitudes towards women, and improving access to justice are all critical components of a comprehensive approach to promoting women’s rights in Pakistan.

Aurat March 2023 has been announced to be held on March 12 in Karachi

Instead of March 8 this year, Karachi will host the Aurat March on March 12. The march was moved from Women’s Day to the new date, and the organizers explained why in a statement posted on social media.

The attendees will march in support of “our hunger, social security, a living wage, an end to bonded labour, rehabilitation of flood victims, an end to mob violence, an end to domestic violence, the Transgender Persons Protection Act 2018 and to end forced conversions,” according to the organisers’ statement from earlier.

This year’s Aurat March in Karachi will take place on March 12th, 2023. We shall continue to show our unwavering support for the upcoming 8 March 2023 Aurat Marches in Hyderabad, Lahore, Islamabad, and Multan.

Karachi consumers’ electricity rates increased by Rs. 4.76 per unit.

The cost of power has increased by Rs4.76 per unit for users in Karachi. It appears that the decision has been made to keep a uniform tariff across the nation.

Sources claim that the federal cabinet has given the go-ahead for K-Electric to raise the price of electricity.
The first quarterly adjustment has resulted in a rise of Rs3.21 per unit in the price of energy.

The second quarter adjustment includes an increase in the tariff of Rs. 1.55 per unit.

Sources claim that the extra fees will be collected between March and May 2023.

Including the lender’s suggestions, which include removing electricity subsidies provided to exporters and farmers, the updated plan differs from the one that was initially presented to the IMF last week.

Twitter Schools RJ Anoushey for Calling Rickshaw a “Cheap”, “Adventurous Ride”

PC: Dawn

Famous Pakistani video and radio jockey Anoushey Ashraf faced a lot of criticism when she shared her “adventurous rickshaw ride” details in an attempt to “normalize public transport.”

The host was offered a “sympathy ride.” Anoushey tweeted,

“Got offered a sympathy ride when someone saw me getting into a rickshaw 2day. I thought it’d be an adventure, was close to home, relatively safe (you can jump out) and cheap.”

https://twitter.com/Anoushey_a/status/1633101575030800396?t=5js_OmP15TQNvJr1rKenZA&s=19

In the tweet, Anoushey also called herself a “well off” person, which did not go well with Twitter. She continued, “But seeing a ‘well off’ person in a rick can really worry ppl here! Normalise public transport for all.”

Post the tweet, twitteratis called out her for her “blinded privilege” and also told the RJ that rickshaw rides are no more “cheap”, considering the inflation and high prices. Some even told Anoushey that they use Rickshaws for their daily commute and that rickshaws are already very “normal” in Karachi.

Islamabad Police and Women Face to Face During Aurat March

Islamabad Police and Women Face to Face During Aurat March
Image: Video SS from Twitter

International Women’s Day is being celebrated across the globe, including in Pakistan on March 8th, where various events are being held to honour the achievements of Pakistani women. One such event is the Aurat March, which takes place annually in major cities nationwide and advocates for different issues yearly.

Unfortunately, this year’s event in Islamabad was marred by violence, as women’s rights activists clashed with officers from the Islamabad Capital Territory Police. Videos on social media show that the altercation began when police officers attempted to stop the activists from entering a restricted area to participate in the march.

One participant became visibly angry and shoved SP City Nosherwan Ali, who repeatedly asked her not to touch him inappropriately. The situation quickly escalated as more participants attempted to force their way into the restricted area, prompting the police to take action against the trespassing activists.

The incident has sparked a debate on social media, with some criticizing the police for creating unnecessary hurdles and others arguing that the police were simply doing their duty to maintain public safety.

Despite the disturbance, the Aurat March continued as planned, with participants chanting slogans and performing theatrics to raise awareness about important issues. As Pakistan moves forward, it is hoped that peaceful protests can be held without any disruption or violence.

The Impact of Career Gaps on Women’s Professional Advancement in Pakistan

Photo credits: Pinterest

In Pakistan, as in many other parts of the world, women face significant barriers to their professional advancement, including the impact of career gaps. A career gap is defined as a period of time during which an individual is not employed or is employed in a role that is not related to their field of expertise. For women in Pakistan, career gaps can be particularly damaging, as they can reinforce gender stereotypes, limit opportunities for advancement, and make it difficult to re-enter the workforce.

One of the main reasons that women in Pakistan experience career gaps is the expectation that they will prioritize their family responsibilities over their careers. This is particularly true in traditional families, where women are expected to take care of the household and children, even if they are also working outside the home. As a result, many women in Pakistan are forced to take extended breaks from their careers to care for their families, which can have long-term consequences for their professional advancement.

Career gaps can impact women’s professional advancement in a number of ways. First, they can limit the opportunities for promotions and career advancement, as employers may see women who have taken time off as less committed or less competent. This can create a vicious cycle, as women who are unable to advance may become discouraged and opt to leave the workforce altogether.

Second, career gaps can reinforce gender stereotypes, making it more difficult for women to be taken seriously in their careers. Women who take time off to care for their families may be seen as less ambitious or less dedicated to their careers than their male counterparts, perpetuating the belief that women are not as committed to their work as men.

Finally, career gaps can make it difficult for women to re-enter the workforce, particularly in a country like Pakistan, where there are limited opportunities for women in many fields. Women who have taken time off may struggle to find jobs that match their skills and experience, or they may be forced to accept lower-paying jobs or jobs that do not offer the same opportunities for advancement as their previous roles.

In conclusion, career gaps have a significant impact on women’s professional advancement in Pakistan. To address this issue, it is important to challenge gender stereotypes and to create more flexible work arrangements that allow women to balance their family responsibilities with their careers. Employers should also be encouraged to value the skills and experience that women bring to the workforce, regardless of whether or not they have taken time off. By addressing these issues, we can help to create a more equitable and inclusive workforce that benefits everyone.

Indian hacking group targets Pakistan military for spying

Image: Stock Photo

The “DoNot” group, also known as APT-C-35 & Sector E02, has been found to be involved in cyber attacks in Pakistan by the Indian government. According to a cabinet division advisory, the group has been targeting Pakistan’s civil and military setups for spying since 2016.

The group is said to be using sophisticated windows and Android malware to target organizations and individuals in South Asia. The data collected by the “DoNot” hacking group is exfiltrated to Indian intelligence agencies for cyber espionage.

Recently, the group has improvised its cyber attack toolkits, causing concerns for potential victims. The hacking group has emerged in various cyber threat intelligence watchdogs’ alerts and has been found targeting South Asian countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, as well as their embassies abroad.

The group’s main targets are government and military organizations, ministries of foreign affairs, and embassies. It has been consistently targeting critical entities with waves of spear phishing emails and malicious attachments.

The “DoNot” group is using Macros in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. leading to remote access. It accomplishes its goals through Windows Framework RTF files with .doc extensions, further containing links to download malware and gain shell access.

The Indian government has proposed preventive measures to defend against “DoNot” APT attacks. The advisory has asked government organizations to ensure system hardening at all endpoints and active directory domain networks to be hardened to ensure protection against Kerberos-based attacks.

Additionally, the advisory has suggested that government organizations conclude malware-focused audits of all endpoints periodically. It has been suggested that government organizations use reputed anti-malware/anti-virus software and establish security operations centers for host visibility at the organizational level by utilizing open source extended detection and response, endpoint detection and response, and security information and event management solutions.

The “DoNot” group’s cyber attacks are a cause for concern in South Asia, and it is imperative for governments to take proactive measures to prevent such attacks.

As of 2023, the global economy has undergone significant changes, leading to fluctuations in the value of currencies worldwide. Some currencies have seen a rise in value, while others have experienced a decline. In this article, we will take a closer look at the top ten most valuable currencies in the world as of 2023.

The Kuwaiti Dinar is the world’s most valuable currency in 2023, with an exchange rate of 3.32 USD. The Kuwaiti economy is heavily reliant on oil exports, which have remained relatively stable despite global economic fluctuations, contributing to the currency’s consistent strength.

The Bahraini Dinar takes second place, with an exchange rate of 2.65 USD. Like Kuwait, Bahrain is a significant oil producer, and its currency’s value reflects the country’s economic stability.

In third place is the Omani Rial, with an exchange rate of 2.60 USD. Oman has a diversified economy, with industries such as tourism, fisheries, and manufacturing contributing to its economic growth and currency value.

The Jordanian Dinar comes in fourth place, with an exchange rate of 1.41 USD. Jordan has a stable economy, and the country’s central bank has implemented measures to maintain the value of its currency.

The British Pound Sterling remains a strong currency, with an exchange rate of 1.33 USD, securing the fifth spot on the list. The UK’s economy is one of the world’s largest, and the pound’s value is reflective of this.

The Euro, used by 19 European countries, comes in sixth place, with an exchange rate of 1.18 USD. Despite economic uncertainty in the Eurozone, the currency has remained stable and continues to be a popular choice for international transactions.

The Swiss Franc takes seventh place, with an exchange rate of 1.10 USD. Switzerland’s economy is known for its stability and low unemployment rates, contributing to the value of its currency.

The United States Dollar remains a dominant currency in the global economy, with an exchange rate of 1.00 USD, securing the eighth spot on the list.

The Canadian Dollar takes ninth place, with an exchange rate of 0.79 USD. Canada’s economy is heavily reliant on natural resources such as oil, gas, and lumber, which have contributed to the strength of its currency.

Finally, the Australian Dollar comes in tenth place, with an exchange rate of 0.73 USD. Australia’s economy is also heavily reliant on natural resources, and the country’s stable political climate has contributed to the strength of its currency.

In conclusion, the value of a currency is heavily influenced by a country’s economic stability and its reliance on natural resources. The currencies on this list represent the most valuable in the world as of 2023, reflecting their countries’ economic strengths and stability.

Zardari Says PPP Will Not Contest Elections In Collaboration With PDM

Co-chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and former president Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari said that there is no possibility of contesting the next elections in collaboration with the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

He was addressing to the media in Vehari and emphasized that the whole nation needs to be fixed including the military mindset, economy and judiciary. He also said that Pakistan is not a public limited company that can go bankrupt anytime. Countries like Japan also went bankrupt and then they recovered.

He also mentioned that they had an idea about the difficulties before taking over the government. However, had they not stopped Imran Khan, he would have sold the country

Zardari also said that he can talk to politicians but will not talk to Imran Khan, as according to him, Khanis not a politician.

Shab e Barat/ 15th Night of Sha’ban:

Shab e Barat is a bid’ah, and neither a holiday nor a particular act of devotion is to be carried out in the middle of Shaban or in the final days of the month. Please review the entire responsibility for further information.

Shab e-Barat is a public holiday in Pakistan?

Shab e-Barat 2023 Islamic date
Shab e Barat is commemorated on the 15th night of Sha’ban, which is the eighth month in the Islamic calendar.

In Pakistan, Muslims would remain up late to offer special night prayers and recite the Quran till dawn. Also, they would go to the graves to beg for their families’ pardons who passed away. During Shab e-Barat, aid is also given to those in need.

The origins and meaning of Shab e-Barat
It is thought that Allah, the Almighty, would decide everyone’s fate and sustenance for the coming year during the Shab e-Barat night.

Because of this, Shab e-Barat is a night full of benefits for all Muslims and has particular customs that Muslims must follow:

  1. Tasqeem-e-umur: triumph and defeat, joy and sorrow, death and birth.
  2. Faizaan e Bakhshish: the act of pardoning
  3. Blessing: Nazool e Rahmat
  4. The acceptance of intercession in Qabool e Shifaat
  5. The Greatness of Worship: Fazeelat e Ibaadat

Shab e Barat in Islam


Some people refer to the final days of Sha’ban as al-Sha’baniyyah, saying, “These are the days of bidding farewell to eat,” and they use this time to overindulge before Ramadan starts. According to some academics, the Christians who used to do it as their fasting season (Lent) approached are the ones who first came up with this concept.

In conclusion, Sha’ban is not a holiday or a time for performing a specific act of devotion in the middle or at the end of the month. That represents a change that has been made to the religion.
