Minor student shoots teacher at Faisalabad school function

TOBA TEK SINGH: A minor student shot at and injured his female teacher in a private school in Chak 32-JB, Faisalabad.

According to an FIR registered by Sandalbar police under sections 324 and 34 of the PPC, complainant Muhammad Bakhsh, father of the injured teacher, stated that during a farewell party hosted by eighth-grade students, Raja Aoun Saeed asked his classmate, Mirza Muhammad Dawood, to fire at their teacher, Hafza Bibi (21).

Dawood fired, hitting the teacher in the leg. She was shifted to Allied Hospital.

A police spokesperson said the main suspects had been arrested, and raids were underway to arrest his accomplice. Police were investigating the motive behind the attack and the source of the weapon.

KILLED: A woman was murdered in Faisalabad’s Razabad locality on Tuesday after she refused to marry the suspect.

Reports said Safdar Ali wanted to marry Shakeela Bibi, but she rejected his proposal.

Enraged, Safdar and two unidentified accomplices attacked her near Lahori Chowk with sharp weapons. She suffered injuries and was rushed to Allied Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.

In the same locality, five members of a family were injured in indiscriminate firing by their neighbours following a fight between children.

Reports said after the quarrel, Ali Raza and his two accomplices opened fire and injured Malik Muhammad Irfan (28), his son Saqlain Ali (10), his daughter Mehak Shehzadi (8), Parveen Javed (45) and Husnain Majeed (19). They were shifted to Government General Hospital, Ghulam Muhammadabad.

MURDER: A petrol pump owner was killed, while a hotel owner was critically injured in an attack by seven men over a minor dispute on Tuesday at a filling station on Samundri Road, Gojra.

Reports said Muhammad Faisal of Mohalla Hasnia Colony and his six accomplices went to the petrol station for a car wash. A dispute erupted over whose turn it was, leading to an exchange of words with petrol station owner Mudassar Hanif Baryar (25).

The suspect opened fire, seriously injuring Mudassar and Abdullah, the owner of an adjacent hotel.

Both were rushed to Gojra THQ Hospital, where Mudassar succumbed to his injuries. Abdullah was later referred to Faisalabad’s Allied Hospital.

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 ...
