Missing Adiala jail official told to vacate govt house in Pindi

RAWALPINDI: The superintendent of Central Jail Adiala has issued a notice to former deputy superintendent Mohammad Akram to vacate his official residence in jail colony within two days otherwise its electricity and water supplies will be cut off.

A letter to Mr Akram said he would be held responsible for any liquidity damage, no excuse would be accepted and action would be taken in accordance with the law.

Referring to a notification issued by S&GAD regarding the allotment of government residences, the letter from the jail superintendent said government employees after transfer or retirement can only keep their residences for two months.

Therefore, it said: “Since you have been transferred to Inspectorate General Prison Lahore on June 20 2024 by the Punjab Home Department, more than two months have passed. Still you have occupied the government’s official residence which is against the law.”

It may be noted that Mr Akram, after his transfer, was residing in the official house and was taken into custody on Aug 14 by law enforcement agencies for allegedly facilitating PTI founder Imran Khan in jail.

Mr Akram’s wife Maimoona Riaz later filed a petition in the Lahore High Court Rawalpindi bench seeking recovery of her husband.

On Thursday, the city police officer (CPO) appeared before the court and stated that the police had been working to trace Mr Akram. The court directed the CPO to ensure the safety of his family. The court said the missing persons’ issue had become alarming.

After the police requested the court to grant them 14 days to recover the missing man, the court adjourned the case till September 10.

Meanwhile, the Home Department made a major reshuffle in the prison department and posted an additional superintendent and two deputy superintendents to the Adiala jail on Thursday.

According to a notification, Ali Ameer Shah (BS-17), deputy superintendent from the inspectorate of prison Lahore, has been posted as additional superintendent and Sabtain Raza (BS-17), deputy superintendent (executive) Central Jail Lahore, as the deputy superintendent at Adiala jail against the vacant post.

Zaibunnisa (BS-16), deputy superintendent Central Jail Bahawalpur, has also been posted as deputy superintendent in the Rawalpindi jail.

Ailing Pope Francis to embark on Asia trip, his longest ever, in September

Pope Francis will travel to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore from September 2-13, the Vatican said on Friday, announcing his first overseas trip of the year and the longest of his 11-year papacy. The Asia trip has been on the papal agenda for some time, but there had been doubts on whether the 87-year-old pontiff would embark on it given his increasing frailty, with a record of skipping engagements due to health problems. His last international journey was a two-day stay in Marseille, France in September. In November, he pulled out of a trip to the COP28 climate conference in Dubai because of a lung inflammation . Francis is now scheduled to be in Jakarta between Sept 3-6, Port Moresby and Vanimo between Sept 6-9, Dili September. 9-11 and Singapore Sept 11-13, his spokesman said in a statement. Vietnam, which had been suggested by the pope and Vatican officials as a possible further destination during the nearly two-week long Asia trip, was not mentioned. In ...

‘A war out there’: Maple Leafs survive shootout thriller in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — Whew. They needed this one, even if they didn’t wholly deserve it. For a Monday night in Salt Lake City, the stakes felt unusually high for the sagging, road-weary Toronto Maple Leafs .  Heading into their inaugural game at Delta Center, the Leafs had dropped three straight, blown a couple leads, slipped out of first place, and  distracted  the fan base by propositioning their best player with a trade.  Worse: Their process hasn’t been tight for a couple weeks. Mistakes have crept in. Speed is giving their defence issues. And their razor-sharp goaltenders have begun to look human. Head coach Craig Berube held an intense team meeting Sunday, following Saturday’s 7-4 outclassing in Denver. Multiple players spoke up. Captain Auston Matthews said they’d reached look-in-the-mirror time. “The really bad games have a good way of being the biggest learning experiences,” thoughtful goaltender Joseph Woll said, following Monday’s slump-snuffing, nail-b...

A diary of (near) default - 2023 was a year of economic uncertainty in Pakistan

Despite having little in common, even our political parties could agree on one thing: Pakistan’s economic situation was dire in 2023. The year saw Pakistan go through a long and rocky road to finding some semblance of economic stability — if it can even be called that — while weathering political and social turmoil. Pakistanis also experienced a double whammy this year: the one-two punches of the worst economic crisis in decades and all-time high inflation. Add to that the gut punch of the aftermath of the catastrophic floods of 2022 began to settle in. Flood victims receive boiled rice from relief workers, after taking refuge on a motorway, following rains and floods during the monsoon season in Charsadda, Pakistan on August 27, 2022 — Reuters In 2023, according to the World Bank , over 39.4 per cent of the population fell below the poverty line, which means over 12.5 million people are living in meagre conditions. Additionally, 8.5 million people face acute food insecurity due ...
