  Karachi is expected to experience mostly cloudy and humid weather conditions during the next 24 hours, according to the latest forecast issued by the Pakistan Meteorological Department. The weather authorities have predicted that light drizzle may occur in different parts of the city, particularly during the morning and nighttime hours. The meteorological department stated that the overall weather situation in Karachi is likely to remain warm, humid, and partly cloudy throughout the day. Residents may experience increased moisture levels in the atmosphere, which could make the temperature feel higher than the actual recorded temperature. The presence of humidity, combined with limited sunshine due to cloudy skies, is expected to create uncomfortable weather conditions for many citizens. According to the weather forecast, the minimum temperature recorded in Karachi today was 28 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the maximum temperature is expected to remain between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius. Although these temperatures are typical for the coastal city during this period, the high humidity level may increase the feeling of heat among residents. The humidity level in Karachi has been recorded at 78 percent, indicating a significant amount of moisture in the air. The city is also experiencing sea breezes from the southwest direction, moving at a speed of approximately 11 kilometers per hour. These coastal winds may provide some relief from the heat, but the high humidity is likely to continue affecting the overall comfort level. The weather department has advised citizens to remain aware of changing weather conditions, especially during early morning and nighttime hours when chances of drizzle are higher. Light rainfall is not expected to cause major disruption, but some areas may experience temporary wet conditions due to the drizzle. Karachi’s coastal location often results in humid weather patterns, particularly when moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea influence the city’s atmosphere. Cloud cover and sea breezes usually help control extreme temperatures, but high humidity can make daily activities more challenging for residents. The meteorological department further explained that no major change in weather conditions is expected during the next 24 hours. The city will likely continue to experience cloudy skies, humid conditions, and occasional light drizzle in some areas. People are advised to plan outdoor activities while keeping the possibility of brief rainfall in mind. Overall, Karachi’s weather is expected to remain mild in terms of temperature but uncomfortable due to elevated humidity levels. The combination of cloudy weather, warm temperatures, and moisture in the air will continue to define the city’s weather pattern over the coming day.

  The preliminary post-mortem report of two women who died while in police custody at Lahore’s Town Ship Police Station has been released. According to the report, there were no visible signs of physical torture on the bodies of the two women, and their deaths appear to have been caused by natural or medical reasons. However, the exact cause of death has not yet been established, and further forensic investigation is underway. The two women, identified as Anmol and Amina, were residents of Pakpattan and had been taken into police custody on suspicion of involvement in an alleged fraud-related incident. Both women died under mysterious circumstances on August 4 while they were being held at the Town Ship Police Station in Lahore. According to the initial post-mortem findings, multiple needle or syringe marks were found on the bodies of both women. The report, however, did not identify any apparent marks of physical violence or torture. Police officials have said that the final cause of death will only become clear after the forensic examination of samples collected from the bodies. Police have claimed that they suspect the two women may have consumed poisonous tablets while in custody. Samples and other relevant material obtained from both bodies have been sent to a forensic laboratory for analysis. The forensic report is expected to determine whether any poisonous substance or medication was present in their bodies and may help investigators establish the circumstances surrounding their deaths. According to police, the women had been arrested on allegations of fraud and deception. A video allegedly showing one of the women removing earrings from an elderly woman has also surfaced. Police said that a female resident of the Town Ship area had contacted the emergency helpline 15 and handed the two women over to the police after the incident. Residents of the neighborhood also provided police with another video. In the footage, the two women can allegedly be seen removing earrings from an elderly woman. The video has become an important part of the investigation as authorities attempt to establish what happened before the women were taken into custody. Another video recorded by a camera installed in the room of the police station’s duty clerk has also emerged. The footage reportedly shows Anmol and Amina sitting on chairs inside the police station. They appear to be conscious and interacting with the duty clerk. The video further shows the two women talking to the clerk shortly before they leave the room. The footage is being examined as part of the investigation into their deaths and may help investigators establish their condition and movements while they were at the police station. The deaths have raised questions about what happened to the women during their time in custody. While police have ruled out visible signs of physical torture in the preliminary post-mortem examination, the presence of multiple syringe marks and the allegation that the women may have consumed poisonous tablets have prompted further investigation. Authorities are now awaiting the forensic examination results, which are expected to provide crucial evidence regarding the exact cause of death. Until the final forensic report is received, officials have not reached a definitive conclusion about how the two women died.

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has reiterated his confidence that the government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will complete its full five-year constitutional term, while maintaining his earlier criticism that Pakistan’s decades-old governance system requires significant reform. Speaking to the media, Naqvi said his previous remarks about the country’s system had been misunderstood. He clarified that his criticism was directed at what he described as an 80-year-old governance structure rather than the current administration. According to the interior minister, the existing system has failed to deliver the level of progress Pakistan is capable of achieving. Naqvi argued that if the country’s institutional framework had functioned effectively over the years, Pakistan would have been in a much stronger economic and administrative position today. He stressed that his comments should not be interpreted as criticism of the federal government, of which he is a member. Responding to questions about his own performance as interior minister, Naqvi said he is accountable to the prime minister and welcomes an objective assessment of every federal ministry. He suggested that the government publicly release the performance results of all ministries so citizens can evaluate how each department has performed. The interior minister also noted that he regularly attends official duties and said his attendance record stands at approximately 70 percent. He emphasized that transparency and accountability should apply across the federal cabinet. Praising Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Naqvi said the premier works between 14 and 16 hours a day and has continued to pursue reforms despite challenging circumstances. He credited the government with improving tax collection, strengthening Pakistan’s diplomatic engagement, and introducing reforms in several sectors. According to Naqvi, the prime minister could achieve even greater results if Pakistan’s governance system functioned more efficiently. He argued that administrative reforms remain essential for accelerating economic growth and improving public services. Addressing political speculation, Naqvi dismissed suggestions of differences between himself and the prime minister. He said there would always be attempts to create misunderstandings but insisted that their working relationship remains strong. The interior minister concluded by expressing confidence in the stability of the coalition government. He stated that the current administration would complete its constitutional term and that Shehbaz Sharif would continue to serve as prime minister for the full five years, despite criticism from political opponents. Naqvi’s remarks come amid ongoing political debate over governance reforms, economic challenges, and the future direction of Pakistan’s political landscape.
