    Police official transferred after stopping black window car of PML-N MPA

    A police officer was transferred on Sunday for stopping the car of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and Member of Provincial Assembly (MPA) Malik Waheed Awan.

    Sub-inspector Yasir and other officials halted Waheed’s vehicle with tinted windows while the MPA was inside the car.

    A video showing the conversation between the PML-N leader and police personnel surfaced online, where the politician can be heard saying, “I am Malik Waheed, not just an ordinary MPA.”

    Awan demanded an on-camera apology from the policeman. However, Sub-Inspector (SI) Yasir and officials apologised to MPA Malik Waheed. Later, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Operations Ali Nasir Rizvi transferred sub-inspector Yasir to the judicial wing.

    In a video statement, Malik Waheed stated that he had come to thank the trader’s community in the constituency after winning the election, but the police deliberately stopped his vehicle.

    The PML-N leader added that he is a police-friendly person and salutes the police.

  • McDonald’s stores shut in Sri Lanka over poor hygiene case

    McDonald’s stores shut in Sri Lanka over poor hygiene case

    McDonald’s stores across Sri Lanka shut Sunday after the US fast-food giant launched a legal battle with its local franchise holder over allegations of poor hygiene, court officials said.

    The Commercial High Court of Colombo ordered the closures until April 4, after the parent company accused the local franchise holder of failing to meet international hygiene standards.

    “The closure was ordered pending an investigation,” a court official said.

    He said lawyers for McDonald’s told the court that they had terminated a franchise agreement with local company Abans last week. The hearing is to resume in early April.

    There was no immediate comment either from McDonald’s or Abans, who has held the franchise with 12 outlets since the US firm’s entry into Sri Lanka in 1998.

    Notices were seen outside McDonald’s outlets on Sunday saying they were “closed” and there was no indication if or when they may reopen.

    When a technology hitch disrupted ordering at stores across much of east Asia last week, Sri Lanka’s McDonald’s stores were unaffected.

  • Aagha Ali breaks silence on rumors of separation from Hina Altaf

    Aagha Ali breaks silence on rumors of separation from Hina Altaf

    Actor and singer Aagha Ali has finally addressed rumors that he and Hina Altaf are separating.

    In a recent interview, the ‘Matam’ actor said, “It’s been a while since I hired a housekeeper. In 2022, I decided I don’t need one anymore because I cooked a delicious beef Liam spaghetti yesterday after a long time.”

    Ali told the interviewer that it’s hard for him to handle both his work and having a housekeeper because “I live alone.”

    He further said, “Once I hired a housekeeper who used to work for me 24 hours, but that also didn’t work out for me as I also would need leaves from house chores.”

    His comments came after he wrote a mysterious caption on one of his recent three-picture posts, which has grabbed the attention of many people on the internet, especially amid rumors of him separating from his wife on social media.
    Tagged with the location stamp of Heraklion, Greece, in a seemingly rhyming fashion the caption said, “Life in blues … main confuseeee yun hokay, phir sochta hoon yar kuin halaat nai ok ! Phir ro kay, haan thoda ro kay dho Kay I get back to ma phone and say Confuse hokay, Chal koi Nai , main kalla nai, is jahan mein sab nay hi tou haan khaye hain Dhokay! It’s ok.”

    His words left netizens wondering if it’s just a funny message or if there’s a hidden meaning behind it.
    Meanwhile, keen-eyed social media users have also noticed that Ali and his wife, Altaf, have unfollowed each other on their official Instagram accounts. However, others were quick to point out that the ‘Matam’ and ‘Arranged Marriage’ actor have always had zero follows on their accounts, despite having 6.7 million and 1.1 million Instagram followers, respectively.

  • Want to lose weight? Listen to Aijaz Aslam

    Want to lose weight? Listen to Aijaz Aslam

    Aijaz Aslam, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, has amazed audiences with his talent and performance on screen.
    He also hosts the Ramadan transmission show Life Green Hai on Green Entertainment.

    In a candid discussion with Nadia khan, Aijaz reflected on his childhood, recalling how he struggled with being overweight during his early teenage years.
    “I used to be quite overweight, around the age of 12 or 13. I was very bulky; my waist size was 42. I had developed the habit of wearing designer clothes because of my size. Aijaz Aslam, not being able to fit into anything, was only considered cute by my sisters. Otherwise, I faced a lot of bullying, with people making fun of me for being fat, and I couldn’t run or be active. It felt strange to see so many fit boys of my age in my class and wonder why I wasn’t like them.

    I thought about what was lacking in myself and changed, instead of dwelling in jealousy or depression, wondering why I wasn’t becoming like them. Instead, I started working out, and with time, I caught up with them. When my friends, whom I hadn’t seen in years, couldn’t recognize me and were inspired by my transformation, and when I sat with those boys and felt proud of myself, I realized that I have made an effort. Then I didn’t feel jealous anymore; I started feeling good.”
