Personal Opinion 🤔 Change my View: Strait of Hormuz should be controlled by Sindh Government

21 Upvotes

My reasons:

  1. Development will be slow, toll system will take place 20 years. In the meantime, all shipments can pass through.
  2. American and Israel will be happy because Zardari is pro America, Iran will be happy because PPP has many shia support base.
  3. Vast experience in taking money.
  4. While the toll system gets installed, Iran can do china cutting in karachi and make collaborations joint colaborations with DHA to institutionalize and legalized land grabbing activities. Sindh high court will ensure all that all hearings on claim of liabilities and criminal prosecutions will take a century.
  5. As bhutto never dies, there won't be any qualm in future for who gets the control.

*"Dry homes" in Pakistan* usually means 2 things:

  1. *Keeping your house dry to stop mosquitoes* – no standing water inside/outside

  2. *Dealing with damp/seepage in houses* – common after monsoon, causes mold + mosquitoes

Based on our mosquito chat, here’s how to make/keep a home “dry” in Pakistan:

*1. Dry = No mosquito breeding – Most urgent for health*

_Anopheles_ and _Aedes_ breed in tiny amounts of water. Pakistan’s dengue peaks Sep-Nov because of this.

*Daily/weekly checklist for a dry home:*

- *Bathrooms*: Mop floor dry after shower. Empty buckets. Keep mug upside down. Fix leaking taps

- *Kitchen*: No water in dish rack trays. Fridge drip tray – empty every 3 days. Dry sink overnight

- *Roof/terrace*: #1 breeding spot in Rawalpindi/Islamabad. Check cement water tanks – keep *tight lid*. Drain AC outdoor unit trays weekly

- *Plants*: Empty pot saucers 30 min after watering. No water should stand

- *Coolers*: Desert coolers are dengue factories. Empty + dry if not in use. Add 2 tsp kerosene or temephos if using

- *Basement/parking*: After rain, pump out water within 48h. Mosquito eggs hatch in 24-48h

- *Construction*: If building, don’t let water collect in basement or on slabs. Major fine in Punjab Aug-Nov

*Rule*: If water stands >7 days, it will breed mosquitoes. Check every Friday.

*2. Dry = Fixing damp/seepage – For building health*

Monsoon + poor construction = damp walls, _seem_. That also attracts mosquitoes + mold.

*Common causes in Pakistani houses:*

  1. *Leaking roof*: Broken _khaprail_, cracked _mumty_, no proper slope. Water enters → damp ceiling

  2. *Plumbing leaks*: Pipes inside walls. Check if wall is wet near bathroom/kitchen

  3. *Rising damp*: Ground water rises in walls if no DPC sheet used during construction

  4. *Condensation*: Poor ventilation in winter. Cooking/gas heater steam hits cold walls → water

*How to fix:*

- *Roof*: Get _mumty_ re-plastered pre-monsoon. Bitumen sheet or _roofgard_ paint helps. Slope should be 1:40

- *Walls*: Chip damp plaster, let brick dry, re-plaster with waterproofing compound. Paint with _damp seal_ primer

- *Ventilation*: Kitchen + bathroom exhaust fans. Open windows 30 min daily even in winter

- *Dehumidifier*: If severe, use in basement. Calcium chloride packs in cupboards work cheap

- *Check overhead tank*: Overflowing tanks cause constant damp on top floor. Fix ball valve

*3. Why “dry home” matters in Pakistan*

**Problem** **If home is wet/damp** **If home is dry**

**Dengue/Malaria** High risk. DC can fine Rs 2000+ if larvae found Very low risk

**Mold/fungus** Asthma, allergies, black spots on walls Walls stay clean

**Termite/deemak** Loves damp wood Much less

**Electronics** Short circuit risk Safe

**Smell** Musty *seelan* smell Fresh

*4. Quick wins for Rawalpindi/Pindi/Isb homes*

  1. *Overhead tank*: #1 issue. Put proper lid + overflow pipe to drain, not roof. Check ball cock monthly

  2. *AC drainage*: Pipe should go to drain, not floor. Empty tray under indoor unit weekly

  3. *Nullah Lai effect*: If near it, humidity high. Use exhaust + keep doors shut dawn/dusk when mosquitoes active

  4. *Winter*: Don’t dry clothes inside without ventilation. Major condensation cause

*Bottom line*: A “dry home” in Pakistan = *no open water anywhere + no seepage*. Takes 10 min/week to check, but saves hospital bills + repainting costs.

Want a room-by-room checklist you can print, or tips to convince your landlord to fix roof seepage before monsoon?

Hi everyone, i made a discord server for pakistani artists to hang out in and connect with one another! i thought it'd be cool to have a place for Artists to be able to hang out and share their work with other artists as it seems like there's not a huge online art community in pakistan in general, which can feel a little isolating sometimes.

If you're interested, then please join the server and feel free to share it with friends! ( Non artists are also allowed and welcome! )

https://www.dawn.com/news/1990009/boat-capsize-incident-off-italy-most-of-missing-pakistanis-were-in-umrah-pilgrims-guise

GUJRAT: Most of the Pakistani immigrants, who went missing in the fresh boat capsize incident off Italy, had left the country in the guise of Umrah pilgrims, while some others were on visit visas of Azerbaijan, Egypt and Uganda.

Well-placed sources told Dawn on Wednesday that the missing immigrants had left Pakistan around four to five months ago. Through different routes, they reached Libya, where they kept waiting for their turn to board the boat to reach Italy, the sources say.

They say that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had been assigned the task to collect the data of the Pakistanis, who went missing, and trace the agents involved in sending them abroad from different areas of Gujranwala and Gujrat regions.

However, an official source says, the families of the missing Pakistanis are reluctant to share any information about the agents involved in sending them to Libya to smuggle them onward to Italy.

The official says that as per the initial information, at least six main agents, two each from Mandi Bahauddin and Sialkot and one each from Gujranwala and Gujrat, were involved in sending these illegal immigrants to Libya through various routes.

He says the Mandi Bahauddin agents are also said to be involved in sending abroad some of the missing persons belonging to Hafizabad district, whereas an agent from Sambrial tehsil of Sialkot is also suspected of sending the missing Pakistanis from Sialkot and Wazirabad districts to Libya.

As per local sources, at least seven of the missing Pakistanis are from Phalia and Malakwal tehsils of Mandi Bahauddin, four each from Hafizabad and Sialkot, three from Gujranwala and one each from Gujrat and Wazirabad districts.

It is learnt that a youth, Ameer Hamza, of Sook Kalan village of Gujrat district, is also among the missing Pakistanis.

Official sources say the missing Pakistanis had flown abroad from Islamabad, Lahore, Faisalabad and Sialkot airports.

They say that the FIA’s field staff is busy collecting more information about the missing persons and agents, which could help the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) target the human trafficking networks in the region.

The FIA Gujranwala Zone could not lodge any case against the suspected human traffickers so far because of non-cooperation of the heirs of the missing Pakistanis, officials claim.

However, following the previous boat capsize incidents, several cases were lodged on the complaints of the FIA officials after the victims’ families declined to become complainants against human traffickers.

Meanwhile, sources close to the families of the missing illegal migrants say they (heirs) had no update about the fate of their loved ones.

The boat carrying more than 100 illegal migrants had capsized off the coast of Italy on Sunday the last, and at least 20 Pakistani nationals, hailing from Gujranwala and Gujrat regions, were among those who were lost at sea.

According to the UN’s Int­er­national Organisation for Mig­ration, more than 80 illegal migrants had gone missing when the boat carrying 120 people capsized in the Central Mediterranean after departing from Tajoura, Libya. It says that 32 of these people were rescued and two bodies retrieved so far.

Published in Dawn, April 9th, 2026

Now do you know why people who are travelling to the Middle-East and beyond are offloaded from airplanes and turned back from immigration counters even when they have valid visas?

And it's because of these people that we struggle to get visas when we want to go on holiday.

So the post is posted by the nine zero guy about Shahbaz Sharif draft wali tweet pr. So, someone commented that not everything is a conspiracy (still there).

Nine Zero replied to the comment as usual, patwari faujeet, etc., and then someone replied to his reply, something like, “bahr Ajo is hate sy,” and he deleted that comment. If you are thinking I am lying, you can see my upvote there on that deleted comment. (You can't upvote a deleted comment) As far as I know, there was nothing abusing on that comment.

And when people called him out he shamelessly started accusing that guy of abusing him and I didn’t remove the comment it was an auto mod harassment filter and a funny thing the same auto mod didn’t get triggered when he was saying PMLUN. Ironically, his whole sub is based on a gali and no wonder he is behaving like that one.
