PULL DOWN!

By
Shershah Bridge towards gulbaee has fallen down. the latest marvel of Karachi construction is now live for the public. the project that took 5 years to build using foreign assistance had its opening 25 days back. Just about time, before a month could end the bridge has fallen down. There are (as per eye wittinesses) 2 heavy trailers, 1 cultus, 1 donkey cart with the donkey and a few other vehicles are trapped under the pile of concrete. There are still people trapped in the cars. The rescue workers and paramedics are at the scene, work is going on with the speed of snail due to the congested area! there are factories, plants and other bridges around, so there cant be no bigger machinery in order to clear the rubble. This bridge is believed to be build by NHA -run by Pakistani army. We are still not sure how many survived and how may have lost their lives. but our prayers are with the ones how are suffering.

Bomb Threat at Business Avenue

By
There has been a bomb threat at Business Avenue at Shahrah-e-Faisal. The building has been evacuated and emergency measures has been taken. Bomb disposal squad is searching for the threat at the moment. The picture was taken at 3 in the afternoon which shows ambulances in front of the building and people waiting outside for any confirm reports. One of the pedestrians humorously told that this is just a rumor spread by someone who needed a day off! Other statements highlighted that the treat was made in 11 in the morning some said the building was evacuated around 2 in the afternoon. People standing outside are getting a bit bored, some anxious and a some grumpy! One young individual said "I don't know what they are trying to do, either let us go home or let us go back to our offices" There are still no confirmed reports of the threat or the threat being neutralized. If you get any updates, please share. Also lets pray that noting really happens, I'm sitting in the bui...

Help an Orphan Girl Get Married

By
Hello All,   Here is the complete situation.   In my last email I explained the situation of an orphan girl getting married and Rs. 80,000 required for her marriage. I am very thankfull for the possitive replies I get from many of you.   In last Ramadan I told you all about a fruit seller that he is in a loan and with all your supprt 70% of his loan is now paid off. The remaining amount is Rs. 40,000.   So a total of Rs. 1,20,000 is required for both above mentioned things, and a good collection have been done too. Please help from even Rs. 100 in this good work as it will be repaid to us from Allah with a great deal of profit in this life and the next life.   Thanks for the support. Again I assure you all that I know these people personally and will handover the money to them with my own hands under full responsibility that your money will be used for the task I have mentioned. I know there are a lot of frauds but I have personally researched about these people. There a lot ...

Scared Terror

By
8th of April, needless to write about stupid politicians being beaten up and aggression on the roads, the next day. Fleeing from office around 5 in the evening I reached my area safely but quite late due to heavy traffic. Near yaseenabad, I came across this gas station which was shield-closed with the tent walls. I was to drop a friend but I stopped to take a snap. As the picture speaks the bikers await desperately for fueling. I did not notice at the time that one man was approaching me while i was taking the picture. I later discovered that I did capture him. If u notice closely he's the person stepping out from the bikes and looking towards me. Just as I put my cell in the pocket he arrived and asked what and whose picture I took, two more "decent" guys approached me and asked me to show them the picture, after a bit of hitch I showed them the picture while holding the phone in my hand. He asked me why did I take this picture. I told him that I'm a reporter and I w...
