Aug29, 2022--Taliban accuse Pakistan of allowing the US drone overflights...while drones can fly as high as 70000 feet they can stay in the air for 24 hours and replenish power from solar and batteries...drones might be able to evade radars...if the drones have improved flightime they might be in the air for several days without being detected...one remembers the Dalbandin drone base which bombed pakistan areas for years...
Aug29, 2022--five people stranded on a rock in a raging river depicted what is happening...in five hours of trying to get across four perished ..the better side of relief work depicted here...styrofoam packaging is a god send...
Aug29, 2022--the politicos(imran and his 40 jalsa's)(similar to alladin and his forty thieves)...and the floods(over 30 million affected))...the economic situation... electricity at Rs.50 per unit and dollar at Rs220...imran's honesty has suffered as he ran off with the toshakhana millions(140) and was accused of receiving illegal foreign funds(from multinationals, indians, dubious sources like abraaj etc.)...while he has followers threatening suicide bombers apart from his own threats to judges, generals, beaurocrats and police the dubious PDM are being threatened with old cases...and in the first few days in punjab they ripped the Pakistan Hockey Stadium of its astroturf...some say they sold it to india...

Aug29, 2022--helicopters which are generally used by generals and chief ministers (and fakes like imran) now somewhat active in relief efforts...however other problems like the supply of food are raising their heads...onion which is an early summer crop is now selling at Rs.230-280 and tomatoes a summer crop suffering due to the rains and floods...upto Rs300...and Rs480 in karachi...onions largely imported and grown in sind and balochistan...cotton , rice, chillies, vegetables, maize crops to suffer... while flood hit areas are already feeling shortages the governments are gearing up to provide essentials like milk and water and tents...with the almost widespread floods/rain in history... help cannot get to all areas...in karachi while vegetables seem tobe available almost everything is above Rs200 except potatos which are Rs.50-60...while the governments will eventually deal with infrastructure damage the people will have to deal with their own sufferings with the some government monetary help...
Aug26, 2022--while Imran and Pevez elahi are focussing on revenge/acrimony/punishment tactics in punjab against police, judges and generals people in DG Khan and Rajanpur are complaining of no aid and people going hungry for the last 10 days...their tents have flown away and animals have been swept away... even matches and panadol tablets are not available...this is the situation in tribal areas around the rojhan hill torrents...DG khan is said to have been inundated in wide swathes...Pervez Elahi said to be so old that he can barely make it outside his office...In KP Swat sees huge riverine floods...In Baluchistan a british era bridge fell down as its pillars toppled...heavy rains continued all over baluchistan...sindh and baluchistan are seeing record rainfall..In one sindh town there has been 1722mm of rain since July...23 districts in sindh inundated...rain has been falling steadily for the last 25 days...bridges, schools, houses hotels, swept away in swat..imran staying as far away from disaster prone areas as possible...he has got bail in terrorism and 144 cases after he threatened a female ADSJ(judge) and refused to suspend a rally in islamabad...937(over 300 children) people killed in floods(if faujis killed in floods are shaheed so they probably can get the shahadat certificate too...
A 1985 era bridge near Mach...
25 August, 2022--internet outages in PTCL as fibre optic cables damaged in floods around Sukkur, Khairpur and Ghotki...PTCL has a 50000 km network of cables..and four subsea internet cables while two are provided by Transworld Associates and one by China...most internet interruptions in north of country and Baluchistan
25August, 2022-- rain havoc being reported from Swat , Dir, DG khan, Rajanpur and Sindh...heavy flooding in Hyderabad...six children swept away in hill torrents and flooding in Dir, swat..problems causes the poor to sit out in the open on highways/riversides...punjab government doing litle to help ease the misery...Pervez Elahi refusing to leave his office and sends chief secretary to handle the problems...deaths in punjab rise to 38..problems multiply in sindh and karachi/ hyderabad LG polls put off...overall death toll in floods /rain/hill torrents over 900...PTI least moved to help the troubled population and imran continuing his ayashi..on charity... jalsa's and court cases
25 August, 2022--FAC charges protests continue in various cities of Punjab...the dumb PTI wala's think the government is focussing on Imran rather than economic plights...with the PTI critisizing everybody under the sun and holding rallies day in and day out and even inciting the army to rebellion they have to try to reign in the PTI crooks...their attempts to isolate punjab to hide their ineptitudes/inefficiencies is causing further problems...LHC allows non payment of FAC for July till decision...SC also moved..In affluent karachi 1.5 million out of 3.2 million consumers use 200 units or less... in the rest of the country 17.5 million use less than 200 units... Note:mybill of 1265 units is 63625...massive...they have restarted all the surcharges..FPA Rs.13823..Electricity cost one slab Rs28.92 per unit..total cost Rs50.30 per unit...government taxes Rs10069.84... this is really criminal...people are justified and everyone should be on the street...as iqbal said...jis khet se muyasir na ho rozi..us khet ke her khosha gandum ko jala do...
24 August,2022--the PTI is deliberately breaking the law...section 144 in islamabad and contempt of a ADSJ...imran summoned in contempt case...however they have even started lathi charging protestors in Peshawar and the KP government is to initiate tit for tat cases against the PDM...
24 August, 2022--protests erupt in Lahore, Rawalpindi against inflated power bills..seem tobe organized small protests of the lower middle income groups...They suggest that they used to get bills below 5000-6000 but now get bills above 20000...In the imran government slabs were reduced to two...so people getting bills below 5000 were getting bills around 10000...recent hikes probably are not the problem as they are tobe applied over three months but some say the FAC is too high...many suggest that the extreme heat has everyone utilizing more fans and coolers and even low cost AC's are said tobe available ..government announces relief for those using less than 200 units...few in urban areas and the rich agricultural sector...one does not know why the government tries to play divide and rule...the comparision between income of agriculture and lower-middle income groups is not possible as even the smallest agriculturist earns in lakhs...most earn a lot from milk...Khuram Dastgir probably has no idea about and love for the urban population...
24 August, 2022--rains continue unabated …some aberration is causing more moisture accumulation over Pakistan...and probably the same aberration is causing a drought elsewhere like Italy...the more the heat the more moisture in the sky...sindh almost flooded and Karachi's roads destroyed...Baluchistan and GB limping along..death toll above 830...government appeals for international aid
23 August, 2022--even the primeminister protests inflated electricity bills initiated by Miftah/IMF...since traders taxation in electricity bills has been withdrawn inflated tariffs should also be with withdrawn...protests in some Punjab areas more in the south...new Wapda... chairman says he will install new 11000MW power stations by 2029...mostly from hydel which will complete towards the decades end...he should also work to provide new coal/oil/other power stations for the summer peak times …this year load shedding in the peak summer months has been terrible...February to August is the peak shortfall area...new hydel plants might cover a month or two but summer shortfalls are expected to continue until the dams can be kept full
23 August, 2022--Shahbaz Gill has shown a remarkable recovery in hospital and has been shifted to the Islamabad police for a two day remand...Islamabad lacks a jail of its own it seems...eg the police/Punjab (a neutral ) home minister says that he was not tortured after meeting him in jail ..he now says he was not tortured at Adiala jail but by the relatively mild natured Islamabad police...a pistol and satellite phone recovered from Gills parliamentary lodge..one RO rejects Imran's papers for NA108 while another accepts for NA118...tribunal takes up case …Gill probably suffers from memory loss as he says his wallet was in his car but was found in his room and says the pistol must be somebody else's.
23 August, 2022--the IHC gave imran protective bail for three days in a case alleging terrorism...the case filed by a junior judge who said imran threatened, the judiciary, police and the neutrals...what he will do against the neutrals who are largely considered to have treated him in an indulgent way like pampering a baby...the IHC also instituted a contempt case as he attacked and threatened a magistrate level female judge...imran now has attacked every level of the judiciary , military from the army chief down and the poor police...the police and beaurocrats have suffered more at the PTI hands
23 August, 2022--rain havoc continues in various places in the country...remote areas suffer more as government especially in punjab more interested in politics than hard work...government should try and build pucca houses for the poor in rural areas of KP, Sindh and Baluchistan where many mudhouses have collapsed killing sometimes whole families...hill torrents, river flooding and excessive rains caused most of the problems..baluchistans roads and rail links have been severed..GB asks for international donors...many roads and bridges have washed away and their is a heightened sense of misery in those places...around 300 deaths have occurred...in karachi the swollen Lyari river caused problems with a family in a car being swept away...the more urban punjab has also suffered heavy rains with hill torrents in DG khan...however dams have filled up but there is no letup in load shedding...with discos just switching off electricity for fun at times...
20 Aug, 2022--Gill issue lingers on..his childhood asthma has him in PIMs and a shamefaced Imran tries to meet his supposed aid in hospital and is denied...with his anti military/establishment/new elections campaign collapsing into nothing he now wants to use the Gill harassment /torture issue to raise the spirits of his deflated supporters...with his crooked foreign funding he is on a collision path with islamabad who have imposed section 144...his rallies have no issue and he wants something to inspire his failed anti sharifs campaign...however Gill has not been able to raise the temperature as the people are not too against the big spending generally useless army...the army chief has been on a spate of foreign tours to make as much as he can before being sent home...people worry more if an extreme right wing general like Faiz Hameed the creator of TLP will make it or some more serious general will be considered...Faiz can deal with issues on all sides of the political spectrum..even be toady...an activist general can bash in the oppostion too...there are several pro imran generals and the PMLn had better beware of that or lose the next election...!...imran has little political awareness and thinks that his street violence threats will cow down the PMLn...PMLn should arrest Fawad Chaudhry who wants to occupy state buildings like Sri Lanka...SC again trying to impose itself on the country by changing the amendments to the national accountability ordnance...if it is only applied selectively than the ordnance should be repealed..it has become something like the hudood ordnance..The CJ seems tobe confused about which is the ruling party...
20 Aug, 2022--The Punjab police is on a one sided campaign to arrest key PMLn leaders who have escaped to islamabad...it was the PTI lawmakers who attacked the deputy speaker and spent an entire day in hooliganism but not even one PTI mpa is mentioned by the magistrate for arrest...technically the PTI is a failed provincial type hooligans party and has been unable to do anything apart from going after PMLn walas..and police and beaurocrats...maybe they will go after army generals the next time they are in power
20 Aug, 2022--two cops die as a remote controlled bomb goes off near a police post in Mohmand
20, Aug, 2022--Imran again blames army for dealing harshly with terrorists and making them disappear in Baluchistan and border tribal areas..he says army involved in the insurgency...it is really not Gill but imran who is running an anti army campaign...on Rushdie he says it is sad but his writing show a lack of respect for the Quran and the prophet...shows support for the attackers anger...!
20, Aug, 2022--floods continue in Baluchistan and GB...24 inch gas pipeline swept away in Bolan river..,road and rail links to Baluchistan broken...
16 August, 2022--now who will be the next army chief...? i heard an indian u tube analysis who seem to prefer Bajwa staying on suggesting that he will visit the USA in September..he has just recently visited the USA...whether he went to get US support or other matters is not known...he is however supposed tobe interested in money/bountis /IMF quite a lot...he has also worked with indians in the UN and reportedly met an indian women for 25 weekends in Dubai...i suppose in the recent past Raheel Sharif was considered a good appointment while others had some problems or the other...the indians have dropped Faiz Hameed like a hot potato...although he could be a good appointment having a workhorse reputation and dealing with all sorts of political and economic problems...however he and shamshad mirza are also considered very close to imran khan...while the military generally has been close to imran... bajwa fell out with him over his permutations on the transfer of faiz hameed...seniority wise the two at the top become asim munir and shamshad mirza...however many analysts are more keen on azhar abbas and nauman mahmood...mohd amir seems too junior and a bit inexperienced and that could cause a spate of resignations...if u dont consider mohd amir and asim munir and drop shamshad mirza for being too pro imran than azhar abbas and nauman mahmood could be easy mild choices...and there would only be one resignation as asim munir is retiring just a few days prior to Bajwa...basically it boils down to the GHQ choice meaning the consensus view of shahbaz and bajwa...the last two appointments have been GHQ men and have fared differently...Raheel Sharif brother of a sitara juraat and an orphan like Bajwa who the indian utuber says is ruling Pakistan......usually GHQ does recommend one in four and bajwa can usually make his views heard...why asim munir left the ISI and was replaced by faiz hameed after just eight months... on the insistence of imran khan...or whether Bajwa wanted his protege in the post...all these officers have been in and around Bajwa so one would like to see who he recommends...!usually many say that the iSI chief has a upper hand in the appointment...the public does not like military generals who are controversial...Bajwa is controversial so is faiz hameed...however all lt generals generally have the recquisite experience and the only difference is how they interact with primeminister...
