In response to claims in the media that linked the two Chinese engineers who were killed in an explosion in Karachi to the ongoing IPP talks, the Finance Division has provided clarification.

The Finance Division issued a statement in which it stated that the government has been in negotiations with independent power producers (IPPs), one of which being the power plant for whom both of the Chinese engineers worked.

The engineers who passed away, on the other hand, were not taking part in the IPP discussions. Consequently, any impression that is formed to this effect by reporting in the media is incorrect and has no basis in reality.

In order to assess the security and preparations for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit that will take place in Islamabad the following week, Federal Minister of the Interior Mohsin Naqvi called a crucial meeting.

Speaking at the Islamabad meeting, Mohsin Naqvi instructed the relevant authorities to do stunning landscaping around major highways and to cover the entire city with elegant lights and flowers.

The implementing authorities were charged by the Interior Minister with completing the renovations to the Jinnah Convention Center as soon as possible.

The Minister stated that the fact that Pakistan is hosting the SCO Summit is evidence of its effective foreign strategy.

Babar Azam’s replacement as the team’s white-ball captain has been discussed openly by Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Babar announced his decision to resign from the role on social media last week. He explained the decision away as the result of a tough schedule and his desire to concentrate more on batting.

Greetings, Fans Today, I’m going to share some news with you. Following my notification to the PCB and Team Management last month, I have chosen to step down from my position as captain of the Pakistan men’s cricket team, according to a statement released by Babar Azam on his social media accounts.

He then said, “It’s been an honor to lead this team, but it’s time for me to step down and concentrate on my playing role.”

He disclosed that, following “thorough consideration,” he has given the selection committee the task of choosing a new captain.

therefore,The captain’s position is crucial, therefore I’ve told them to decide after giving it great thought, Mohsin Naqvi stated.

Recall that Babar Azam led Pakistan for the second time during this tenure. His first term came to an end in November 2023 as a result of Pakistan’s miserable performance in the India ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

The top hitter gave up the all-format captaincy, but in March of this year, he was given back the position for white-ball captain. Prior to captaining the reigning champions in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, he led Pakistan in three bilateral T20I series against New Zealand, Ireland, and England.
