Sindh extends Section 144 for one more month

The Sindh government has extended Section 144 across the province for another month, keeping several restrictions in place to maintain law and order.

According to a notification issued by the Sindh Home Department in Karachi, the renewed restrictions will come into effect on August 1 and will remain enforced for the next month.

The notification states that wall chalking, public rallies, demonstrations and the display of weapons in public places will continue to remain prohibited throughout the province. The government said the measures have been taken as part of efforts to preserve public peace and prevent any activities that could disrupt law and order.

Authorities have directed law enforcement agencies to ensure strict implementation of the restrictions. Officials said action will be taken against anyone found violating the provisions of Section 144 during the enforcement period.

The notification also clarified that only security guards employed by registered private security companies will be permitted to carry weapons while performing their official duties. No other individuals will be allowed to display or carry weapons in public unless authorised under the law.

Section 144 is a legal provision that empowers district administrations to impose temporary restrictions on public gatherings and certain activities in the interest of public safety. It is often enforced during periods of heightened security concerns or to prevent possible disturbances.

    Who controls Senate Housing Society? Senate panel raises alarm over alleged private takeover

    Islamabad: A Senate committee raised serious questions over the management of the Senate Employees Housing Cooperative Society after complaints emerged that Senate employees were still waiting to receive possession of their plots, while the society was allegedly controlled by people who were not its actual members. The Senate Sub Committee on Interior and Narcotics Control took strict notice of the complaints during a meeting held at Parliament House under the chairmanship of Senator Saifullah Abro. The committee questioned how a housing society created for Senate employees could remain outside the control of its own members. Senator Saifullah Abro directed authorities to take action against anyone found illegally managing the society and said the rights of Senate employees must be protected. “Only the legitimate members of the society should control its affairs,” the committee observed while demanding transparency and accountability. Officials from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) informed the committee that a criminal case had already been registered against the management of the Senate Housing Society on the orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. However, the committee stated the matter required further investigation and directed FIA officials to provide a fresh report on the society’s current management within one week. The committee members expressed concern over reports that employees who were supposed to benefit from the housing project had not yet received possession of their plots. They questioned why the employees were still facing difficulties despite the society being established for their welfare. The committee made it clear that no individual or private group would be allowed to control the housing society if they had no legal authority to do so. Senator Saifullah Abro said strict legal action would be taken against anyone involved in unlawful management or activities. The committee said its main goal was to ensure that Senate employees receive their rightful benefits and that the society operates according to the law. The committee will review the matter again after the FIA submits its updated report.

    Yemen’s Ansarullah movement claims attack on two Saudi oil tankers

    Yemen’s Houthi-aligned Ansarullah movement has claimed responsibility for targeting two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, alleging that the vessels violated a newly declared naval blockade imposed by the group against Saudi Arabia. According to Saudi state media, a Saudi-owned tanker, identified as the Encelia, was struck while transiting the Red Sea, resulting in a fire at the vessel’s bow. Saudi authorities confirmed that the crew managed to contain the fire safely and that no casualties or environmental damage were reported. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and maritime security group Vanguard had earlier reported a missile strike on a tanker approximately 70 nautical miles southwest of Al Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia. The vessel’s captain reported that the fire was caused by an incoming projectile. The strike follows Ansarullah’s formal declaration of a naval blockade targeting vessels bound for or operating near Saudi ports. An Ansarullah spokesperson stated that the blockade was enacted in direct response to the siege on Yemen, specifically citing the ongoing closure of Sanaa International Airport, and warned that maritime restrictions would match those imposed on Yemeni airspace.

    Solar eclipse darkens Edgbaston during The Hundred

    BIRMINGHAM: A rare celestial spectacle added an extraordinary twist to The Hundred 2026 as a partial solar eclipse darkened the sky during the clash between Birmingham Phoenix and MI London at Edgbaston Stadium on Wednesday. The match began at 6:30pm local time, shortly after the eclipse had started at around 6:15pm. The phenomenon reached its peak at 7:11pm, when approximately 91.76 percent of the Sun was obscured, before ending at 8:05pm. As daylight faded dramatically, Edgbaston’s floodlights were switched on to maintain visibility, allowing the match to continue without interruption. Stadium screens and the announcer repeatedly warned spectators not to look directly at the Sun because of the risk of serious eye damage. The unusual conditions created a striking atmosphere for spectators, with the normally bright evening sky turning noticeably darker as the eclipse progressed. On the field, MI London held their nerve to post 157 runs. Birmingham Phoenix responded with 155, falling just two runs short and handing MI London a narrow victory. The combination of high-stakes cricket and a dramatic solar eclipse made the Edgbaston encounter one of the most unusual sporting moments of The Hundred 2026.

    Ananya Panday and Walker Blanco reportedly split after two years

    Ananya Panday and Walker Blanco have reportedly called time on their relationship after nearly two years of dating. The Bollywood actress and the former model were first linked in 2024, and although neither of them ever officially confirmed their romance, their interactions over the past two years sparked continued speculation about their relationship. The two were reportedly introduced during the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in 2024. Their connection gradually attracted attention as they were spotted around the same social circles and appeared to share a close bond. While they largely kept their personal lives away from the spotlight, fans noticed subtle signs that suggested they were more than just friends. Social media interactions further fueled the dating rumours surrounding Panday and Blanco. The pair were said to have used affectionate nicknames for each other, including “Annie” and “Walkie,” giving fans another reason to believe that they were romantically involved. Despite the growing public interest, both maintained a low profile and refrained from making their relationship official. However, reports now claim that the couple have decided to go their separate ways. According to recent reports, the decision to end the relationship was initiated by Ananya last week. Despite this, the split was reportedly mutual, with both sides understanding the decision and choosing to move forward separately. A source reportedly described the breakup as a mutual decision and suggested that there is no bitterness between the former couple. The development has attracted considerable attention because Panday and Blanco had managed to keep much of their relationship private despite being followed closely by Bollywood fans and entertainment media. Blanco, who previously worked as a model in Chicago, is associated with the Ambani family’s Vantara wildlife initiative in Jamnagar, India. His connection with the Ambani family brought him into the same social circles as several prominent Bollywood personalities, including Panday. Before her reported relationship with Blanco, Panday was involved with actor Aditya Roy Kapur. The pair were linked from 2022 until 2024 and frequently made headlines during their time together. They were spotted on dinner outings, holidays and other public occasions, although they also chose not to make a formal announcement about their relationship. Panday was also previously linked to actor Ishaan Khatter. The two reportedly dated between 2020 and 2022 after working together on the film Khaali Peeli. Their relationship was also the subject of considerable media attention during that period. At 27, Panday has established herself as one of the younger stars of the Hindi film industry, appearing in projects across different genres and building a strong presence on social media. Her personal life has often attracted as much attention as her professional career, particularly because of her high-profile relationships. For now, neither Panday nor Blanco has publicly addressed reports of their alleged breakup. The pair have yet to release an official statement confirming that their relationship has ended. Until either of them comments publicly, details surrounding the reported split remain based on claims from sources familiar with the situation. The reported separation marks the latest development in Panday’s much-discussed personal life, while fans continue to wait for any direct confirmation from the actress or Blanco regarding their relationship status.
