United States President Joe Biden Thursday in his address to United Nations General Assembly Session urged the world to help Pakistan badly hit by devastating floods. Following the recent unprecedented monsoon rains that have triggered floods across the country and caused more than 30 billion losses to the economy, the UN has appealed to the world to help Pakistan cope with the situation. Due to devastating floods, more than 1,500 people lost their lives, while thousands of houses and cattle were swept away. Millions of people have become homeless and are living in the open sky, while the rest of the country is battling the aftermath of the flood as disease outbreaks hit flood-ravaged areas. During the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), US President Joe Biden has drawn the world's attention to flood-hit Pakistan. “Pakistan is still under water and needs help,” the US president said during his address at the UNGA session. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was al

Punjab is once again embroiled in a controversy over the filing of cases against the PML-N leaders as the Lahore police chief has refused to relinquish his charge, saying he will not do so unless directed by the provincial government.

The development came after a case was filed against Javed Latif and Marriyum Aurangzeb for allegedly “using religion to instill and spread hatred” against PTI chief and former prime minister Imran Khan. According to sources, IG Punjab Faisal Shahkar was earlier directed by Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi to lodge a case, which he denied and suggested seeking legal input from the relevant authorities in this regard. The resistance from the IG reportedly angered the chief minister who later tasked Dogar to complete the job. Speaking to Geo News, Ghula
