‘UFO’ spotted near Rahim Yar Khan
The video of an Unidentified Foreign Object (UFO), spotted in the city Rahim Yar Khan of Pakistan’s Punjab province, has gone viral in the country.
A pilot of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) captured the picture of an unidentified, shiny flying object that he spotted while flying on a domestic route from Lahore to Karachi Saturday.
“The UFO was extremely bright despite the presence of sunlight,” said the pilot, adding that it was not a “planet” but could be a “space station” or an “artificial planet” .
The UFO was spotted by locals of Rahim Yar Khan as well, who made videos of it.
A PIA spokesperson has, however, stated that it is “too early” to identify the object.
Rawalpindi locals rally to save 100-year-old tree
Residents of Rawalpindi came together to save an ancient banyan tree from being felled for a road project.
Authorities had planned to axe the 100-year-old tree for the Rawalpindi Ring Road project. However, with residents opposing the move, engineers are attempting to find an alternate route.
Even though experts suggested chopping down the tree, Rawalpindi Commissioner Muhammad Mehmood turned it down and said that he has tasked the engineers to find an environment-friendly solution that doesn’t include axing the tree.
Around Rs 6.7 billion have been allocated to protect natural sites during the project.
The ‘jiyala’ dancer for Bakhtawar Bhutto’s wedding
Pakistani folk dancer Ghulam Mustafa, known as Shaman Chandio, has been invited to perform at Bakhtawar Bhutto’s wedding at the Bilawal house in Karachi on 29 January. Bakhtawar, daughter of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and sister of Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto, is set to marry US-based businessman Mahmood Chaudhry.
Chandio has been a part of PPP rallies since the 1988 general elections and calls himself the PPP’s jiyala — a PPP supporter who is bound to stick with the party or with the Bhutto family no matter what state the party is in. Chandio looked up to Benazir Bhutto, like any other jiyala.
Chandio switched professions from a fruit-seller to a dancer/performer after he witnessed a performance by Jalal Chandio, a popular folk singer and dancer in Pakistan.
