The Pakistan telecommunication authority (PTA) has asked all subscribers with dual SIM mobile phone handsets to register their International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers separately before Aug 31, Dawnhas reported.
According to the details, PTA has said “There are subscribers who own handsets with dual SIMs but have only registered one IMEI number against the slot they use, adding that the second slot remains unutilized.
Therefore, the authorities have urged users to verify their unregistered IMEI in a dual SIM mobile handset as well, otherwise, it will be blocked after August 31.
IMEI number is a unique code for every mobile phone that helps to identify GSM, WCDMA, and iDEN handsets, as well as some satellite phones.
How to register IMEI’s of dual sim smartphones?
In order to register such devices, users can send an email at typeapproval@pta.gov.pk with details, including a screenshot of the device showing all programmed IMEI, device box showing IMEI(s), copy of CNIC, and contact details of applicants.
PTA said that it will evaluate all requests with details, and validated cases will be registered accordingly. Requests sent after Aug 30 will not be entertained.
To check the status of a mobile device, PTA has advised subscribers to dial *#06# and SMS each 15 digits IMEI to 8484.
Ever since Mrs Khan made an appearance on a morning show, she has become quite famous. On the live show, Mrs Khan had said that rising divorces are due to women’s inability to bow down before their husbands and because they argue too much.
While most Pakistani women have moved beyond the notion of the ideal “woman,” who Mrs Khan believes in, here are three Pakistani women she would disapprove of.
Saba Qamar
Saba Qamar has been turning heads and putting the ghairat brigade on fire with her latest photoshoot. Mrs Khan would certainly disapprove of her showing off her long legs and bare arms. Aur toh aur Saba has said, “I do a thing called what I want.”
Sorry Saba but ladies don’t sit like that

Karachiites are worried about fly’s infestation in the city and a person approached the Sindh High Court to make sure that the authorities do something to address the problem.
Swarms of flies have occupied Karachi after the recent monsoon
rains during Eidul Azha. The city’s situation worsened because streets and
roads were flooded, mounds of garbage continued to pile up, and animal waste
wasn’t disposed of properly.
A petition was filed on Tuesday. The Sindh
government, Karachi mayor, and chairmen of all six districts have not been
responsible in cleaning the city. People have to brush off flies from
everything and it has made everyone’s lives quite difficult, the petition reads.
The petitioner even claims that diseases such as
dengue and Congo viruses have become common because the administration doesn’t
have a proper garbage disposal system. The situation will get worse if nothing
is done. The court should order the Sindh government and city government
to clean the city, it adds.
A lower court in Lahore has found Mohsin Abbas Haider guilty of threatening wife, Fatema Sohail.
Fatema, in an explosive social media account posted on July 20 had alleged that Mohsin was domestically abusive and had hit her on multiple occasions. She later filed an FIR against Mohsin on grounds of abusive behaviour and that Mohsin extorted money from her.
While the court found Mohsin guilty of threatening his wife, he was found innocent of breach of trust and demanding money from his wife.
According to reports, the court, during the hearing, instructed both the parties to present their respective final arguments in the next hearing.
Meanwhile, Mohsin termed it as a win and said that the truth is finally seeing the light of the day. In a video posted to social media, Mohsin’s lawyer Adnan Tariq said: “The incidents the accuser has narrated are false and nothing but the lies.”
“The investigation was high profile and it was conducted by the SSP, ADIG monitored it themselves. No money trail was found.”
He added that the Sohail and her lawyer never submitted the medical report to show that she was beaten up her husband.
“There are minor provisions of threat in the FIR, hence we are withdrawing on our bail plea,” Tariq concluded.
Haider also had a few words to share. Mohsin said that he was disappointed with the film and media fraternity for “believing a crying woman” without any solid proof.
“Without knowing the full story, they passed judgements. They started saying that my time is up aur main kaheen ka nahi raha,” said Haider.
He reiterated that a crying woman is not always telling the truth before going on to make religious annotations and saying that there is a higher power at work.
“I’m waiting for a reaction from all those who made comments and passed judgments. The more interesting part was that people from my own fraternity expressed their hatred towards me by unfriending me on Facebook.”
“Anyhow, may Allah keep you all happy and I thank those who supported me,” he concluded.
Mohsin also refuted rumors that he was marrying model Nazish Jahangir. The actor remarked that the media sensationalised comments without confirmation. He added that everyone will know when he’ll be getting married but at this moment, all such stories are false.
Fatema’s sister Ayesha took to social media to explain the victim’s version of the story. Ayesha claims that the police is supporting Mohsin.
Speaking to The Current, Fatema’s lawyer Barrister Ehtisham said that the court trial is yet to begin and this is the conclusion of the police investigation.
He said, “The [police] investigation has not been concluded on merits. We will go to the court against the police finding and SSP & DIG investigation who were managed by Mohsin Abbas.”
He added that since Mohsin has withdrawn his bail plea, he can be arrested under Section 506 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Unfortunately, there are no laws regarding domestic violence in Pakistan yet.
