 Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan has gone crazy over the idea of naming the airport in Islamabad after Benazir Bhutto. Benazir International Airport Express News says that MQM Pakistan is against naming Islamabad International Airport after the woman who died for her country, Benazir Bhutto. Kishwar Zahra, a member of the MQM's National Assembly, said that I had proposed naming Islamabad Airport after Quaid Millat Liaquat Ali Khan. He said that while they were talking about the flood, all of a sudden the resolution to call Benazir Bhutto Shaheed was passed. He said, "I disagree with the passed resolution." It should be noted that a few days ago, the Assembly passed a resolution on behalf of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) member Nawabzada Iftikhar Khan to change the name of Islamabad International Airport to Benazir Bhutto International Airport. Nawabzada Iftikhar said that the airport was named Benazir Bhutto International Airport to honor what the Bhutto family had done.

 It turned out that the Sindh government gave the National Radio & Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC), which runs and maintains the Peoples Bus Service (PBS) in the province, permission to raise the prices of a city bus route by 100%. Informative sources told a newspaper that the decision was made at a meeting of the Fare Revision Committee for Intercity Routes, which had members from the NRTC, the Sindh Mass Transit Authority, and engineers from a third party. They said that the new, longer PBS route from Gulshan-i-Hadeed to Tower made the maximum fare go up from Rs50 to Rs100 because the distance was now 58km longer. The route starts at Allah Wali Chowrangi in Gulshan-i-Hadeed and ends at Tower. Along the way, it stops at Steel Town, Port Qasim Chowrangi, Manzil Petrol Pump, Quaidabad, the Malir neighborhood, Malir Halt, Colony Gate, Natha Khan Bridge, Drigh Road Station, PAF Base Faisal, Lal Kothi, Karsaz, Nursery, FTC, Metropole, Kara City Station and Chundrigar Road.

Wikimedia Commons — Beautiful Beach near Manohra Manora is a small island in Karachi's southwest. It was once a fishing village. Because of naval installations, it became an important island after independence. People go to Monora by boats and ships. I remember my father was posted at F.G. Public school at Manora.  We used to go there by ship called Surkhab, which was managed by Karachi Port Trust.  It is also connected to the ground by a narrow ground passage. Picnics on sandy beaches are quite popular among visitors from Karachi. Palm trees line its northern shoreline, providing not only scenic value but also a nursery for prawns and tiny fish. Local fishermen rely on these prawns and fish for a living. In terms of ecology, culture, and society, Manora has a long history. Travelogues and stories in Ottoman, Arabic, Persian, Portuguese, and English, as well as local literature, all reference it. The island's historic architecture bears witness to its aesthetic and cultural le...
