Azadi March PTI Workers Clash With Police Near Batti Chowk
May 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
LAHORE: Police used tear gas to disperse PTI workers at Batti Chowk in Lahore after removing obstacles erected to obstruct roadways ahead of the party’s planned “Azadi March” to Islamabad.
The PTI’s Lahore chapter has requested that its members congregate at Batti Chowk today, from where they will proceed for Islamabad.
The police fired tear gas shells to clear the scene after the party workers gathered at the crossroads and battled with them after they removed barricades.
Meanwhile, former federal minister Hammad Azhar confirmed his arrival at Batti Chowk via social media.
According to Geo News, all access and departure routes into and out of Lahore have been barred to prevent PTI activists from marching, while searches on the homes of party officials have resulted in the arrests of Senator Ijaz Chauhdry and Mehmoodur Rasheed.
When a police party raided a local PTI leader’s home in the province capital, guns were seized, according to Lahore Police.
Working Gearbox And Pistons For The New Lego Technic Ferrari Daytona SP3
May 25, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
Lego is also releasing a limited-edition book on its design partnership with Ferrari.
The latest Lego Technic set miniaturizes the Daytona SP3, one of Ferrari’s most recent premieres. Last November, it joined Ferrari’s Icon family of automobiles. The new Lego model will be available on June 1, and the two firms will celebrate with a limited-edition coffee table book recounting their work on the kit. The book will only be printed in 5,000 copies.
The 3,778-piece 1:8-scale Ferrari is 5.5 inches (15 centimeter’s) tall, 23 inches (59 cm) long, and 9.5 inches (25 cm) broad. The Ferrari Daytona SP3 is incredibly detailed inside and out, much like Lego’s other Technic kits – and in places that most people would never see.
A functional 8-speed sequential gearbox and a V12 engine with moving pistons are included in the Lego Ferrari, but that’s not all. The fully functional wishbone suspension, complete with detailed brake discs and working springs, will also be assembled by the builders.
The functional butterfly doors open to reveal an interior that has been painstakingly replicated, even down to the Ferrari insignia on the steering wheel. On the exterior, the automobile has silver-lacquered wheels with Ferrari center caps. “No aspect has been missed,” claimed Lego Group CEO Niels B. Christiansen. “At such a small scale, the attention to detail and perfection of the model astounds me,” he continued.
The kit will be available at Lego Stores worldwide on June 1 before being distributed to other stores on August 1. It’ll set you back $399.99, and Lego recommends it for those aged 18 and over. On June 1, the book “Lego Technic Ferrari Daytona SP3: The Sense of Perfection” will be available for $79.99. The limited-edition book delves into the conceptualization, design, and production of the model.
The Lego Technic kit will be far more accessible than the real Daytona SP3. Only 599 Ferrari supercars will be produced. The Daytona is Ferrari’s most aerodynamically efficient car ever, with a 6.5-liter V12 from the 812 Competition producing 828 horsepower (617 kilowatts) and 514 pound-feet (697 Newton-meters) of torque. The Lego kit is also far less expensive.
A Cop Dies In Raid PML-N Govt Decides To Stop PTI’s Long March
May 24, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
ISLAMABAD: The PML-N administration has opted to halt Imran Khan’s Azadi March in Islamabad, despite mounting pressure from the PTI for early elections and the government’s determination to stay put.
PM Shehbaz Sharif presided over a meeting of the PML-political N’s committee.
“Such actions are equivalent to wrecking the economy,” says Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The meeting will discuss the political environment and possible responses to the PTI’s lengthy march.
The decision was made during a meeting of the PML-political N’s committee, which was chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, only hours after a cop was killed during a raid on the home of a PTI politician.
With security increased in the federal capital and a crackdown on PTI members around the nation Friday night, all eyes were on PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s lengthy march to Islamabad, which was planned earlier as part of the party’s anti-government campaign calling for early elections.
Today’s gathering focused on discussions about the country’s current political situation and strategies for dealing with the PTI’s protracted march.
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah briefed reporters on the current state of law and order, as well as steps to guarantee peace and security.
According to Geo News, which cited sources, it was decided that the “public’s security” must be assured.
During his presentation to the gathering, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was quoted as stating, “Such measures are akin to wrecking the economy.”
The prime minister went on to say that the state’s authority would not be jeopardized at any cost, and that any criminal activity will be stopped.
In the event of any aggressive or offensive behavior, the meeting voted to take legal action.
In a news conference to be held shortly, the interior minister will advise the media on the strategy to disrupt the march.
All chief secretaries, inspectors general, and other key officials would be videotaped in, and district and provincial administrations will be given instructions on how to prevent the PTI from marching on the federal capital.
Azadi March will begin as scheduled: Qureshi, Shah Mehmood
As news of the existing government’s announcement of a ban on the PTI’s long march arrived, PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi declared at a press conference in Peshawar that the freedom to march is a fundamental, constitutional, and legal right.
He claims that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari led a march, but that the government did nothing to stop it. Maulana Fazlur Rehman recently organised a sit-in in Peshawar that was not even prevented, he stated. “I want to be clear that we will not stop and that our march will go as planned,” Qureshi stated.
“Regardless of what happens, PTI personnel must complete the long march,” Qureshi stated.
These days, everyone is striving to save money on gasoline. It’s understandable given how quickly gas prices fluctuate. Check out our ideas for fuel-efficient driving and see how much money you can save while doing so.
1. Don’t Be a Lead Foot
The harder you accelerate, the more gas is lost. You can save gas by gently pressing the accelerator pedal. This rule of thumb will help you drive more efficiently.
From a halt, aim to accelerate your vehicle up to 15 miles per hour in roughly five seconds. Use a modest throttle setting and shift between 2000 and 2500 rpm with a manual transmission.
Imagine there’s an egg under the gas pedal to aid you avoid accelerating too quickly. Pretend the gas pedal is pressing down on the egg as you accelerate. This mental trick might help you accelerate safely, saving you gas and money.
2. Keep it Steady for Fuel-Efficient Driving
Have you ever wondered why highway and city driving yield different mileage? When it comes to traditional gas-powered vehicles, highway driving always gets the better mileage rating. Take the Toyota Corolla, for example. Its EPA-estimated MPG for highway travel is higher than for city driving.
The reason for this is because of abrupt changes in speed. On the highway, dips in speed mixed with bursts of quick acceleration can boost your fuel consumption by up to 30%. As a result, abrupt stops and starts might affect fuel efficiency. If you’re not driving in a city, avoid making sudden stops and starts.
If you’re going on a road trip or have a long commute, cruise control can save you money on gas. It saves you money on gas and keeps your car in good running order. Simply adhere to established road signs and turn off cruise control when driving in hazardous conditions.
3. Stay Alert and Keep Proper Distance
Maintain the momentum of your vehicle by planning your actions ahead of time. Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you.
Anticipate pedestrian and other driver movements and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
Counting seconds might help you determine a safe distance. It works like this: when driving, choose an inanimate item such as a road sign, a marker, or something solid that does not move. Start counting as the automobile in front of you passes the object.
Because it was commonly instructed to count 2 seconds, this guideline was dubbed the “2-second rule.” It’s now widely accepted that varied driving conditions result in different count times.
Speed limitations of 35-55 mph necessitate a 3 second separation. Count 4 seconds at 55-75 mph when it’s pouring, the roads are wet, or there’s a lot of traffic. Count 7-8 seconds for a safer journey on snowy or icy roads.
This counting method can assist you in maintaining a healthy distance and improving your gas mileage.
4. Don’t Slam on the Brakes
If city traffic’s stop-and-go slows you down, abrupt stops can do the same. In normal driving situations, coasting toward a stop sign or red light is preferable to slamming on the brakes. This saves both time and money.
It is not only a more efficient driving practice, but it also reduces tyre and brake wear. This allows you to save money on maintenance and repairs.
5. Check Your Tire Pressure
In addition to these fuel-saving driving strategies, make sure your tyres are properly inflated. When you notice the tyre pressure warning light*, check the pressure frequently and fill them up.
Check inside the driver’s side door if you’re unclear how much air your tyres require. Many modern automobiles feature a placard on the dashboard that indicates the proper PSI for your vehicle. “How about the information printed on the tyre?” That is an excellent question!
Tire manufacturers prefer to include valuable information on their tyres, such as the maximum PSI they can handle. It’s vital to emphasize, however, that you should never go above that limit.
This is due to a number of factors. The first is related to normal wear and tear. The tread portion of your tyres will round out if you over-inflate them. As a result, the middle tread wears down sooner. You might be decreasing the life of your tyres in half on average.
The second reason is that traction has been lost. The more you pump your tyres, the more likely they are to lose touch with the road. This might cause you to spin out or possibly crash. This is especially true in the winter when the roads are icy.
The third cause is related to your vehicle. You’ll feel every bump and dip when driving on over-inflated tyres. What was once a pleasant trip has become rough.
6. Be More Fuel Efficient with Less Cargo
Have you ever returned after a road trip only to discover that your automobile performed better the following time you drove it? It may have seemed clogged and sluggish during the journey. Perhaps it felt light and athletic on the walk to the shop the next day. This is for a very excellent reason.
Fuel economy suffers when there is excess load. It’s preferable to leave that additional weight out of the automobile until you really need it. When you come home, unpack the car and leave only what you need for your next trip.
7. Reduce Heater Use in Winter
Heaters and air conditioners are designed to keep you comfortable in your automobile. It’s why many automobiles offer air conditioning, heating, and seat warmers.
However, relying on climate controls reduces gas efficiency. Try parking in a warm area like a garage to conserve gas in the winter. This keeps you warm in the winter and saves you money on gas.
Another thing you may do is avoid driving an idle car for too long with the heating on. Turn on the heat shortly before getting inside your car or while it is running. This reduces the time it takes to warm up and saves petrol.
The Chiron Super Sport Produces More Horsepower Than Bugatti Had Anticipated
May 24, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
Bugatti uses a gigantic dyno to put its 273mph creation through its paces.
This is a 273mph Bugatti Chiron Super Sport connected to a very heavy-duty dyno, ladies and gentlemen of the Internet. Aren’t there echoes of Frankenstein’s Monster strapped to the surgical table?
Bugatti recently attached its own beast to a dynamometer to see how much power the 8.0-litre W16 engine might produce. It was originally stated that it had 1,578bhp, but new tests have revealed that it actually has 1,595bhp. That’s a lot better
Bugatti Chiron Super Sports Back ViewBugatti Chiron Super Sports Dyno RunBugatti Chiron Super Sports DynoBugatti Chiron Super SportsBugatti Chrion SS
The dyno is also a fascinating piece of equipment. It’s called a ‘high-performance all-wheel single-roller dynamometer’ by Bugatti, which implies the car’s wheel runs on one huge roller instead of the customary two.
As a result, the wheel’s ‘rolling behavior’ is more like that of a road wheel, and the tyres generate less heat than they would between two small rollers. That means you’ll be able to test at higher speeds, with Bugatti’s dyno capable of 480kph (298mph). Isn’t it fortunate that the road-going Super Sport is limited to 273mph?
Each set of rollers weights 3.5 tons, and the cooling fan is four meters tall. It can move 300,000 cubic meters of air per hour and generate a 230kph airstream (143mph).
To test the Super Sport, a combination of high-strength screws bolted to the carbon monocoque, ‘crisscrossing strong chains,’ and special straps are used. Sounds terrifying.
Imran Khan Announces Islamabad Long March Will Begin On May 25
May 23, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
PTI Chairman Imran Khan speaking during a press conference in Peshawar.
Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan and the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, has stated that a Long March on Islamabad will take place on May 25.
He urged people from all walks of life to join the march.
He went on to say that the whole country, including young, students, women, businesspeople, ex-servicemen, and people from all walks of life, were invited to join the Azadi March to defend Pakistan.
Imran Khan has told the military to keep its vow of “neutrality.”
According to him, he will lead a lengthy march from Peshawar to Islamabad.
Demands election dates and the dissolution of assemblies.
I want our entire nation to come to Islamabad, on Srinagar Highway for the Haqiqi Azadi March on 25th May where I will meet you at 3 pm. I will be leading the March from KP InshaAllah.#حقیقی_آزادی_مارچpic.twitter.com/fd7MBh1drf
PTI Chairman Imran Khan made the statement at a news conference in Peshawar on Sunday, following the conclusion of a meeting of the PTI’s core committee.
PTI chairman Imran Khan said he will arrive in Islamabad on May 25 and meet with his fans and workers at 3 p.m. on the Srinagar Highway. Several PTI leaders surrounded the former prime minister, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Mahmood Khan.
He declared at the start of the news conference that every field of business, agriculture, and information technology had progressed during his administration, but that his government had been overthrown by a foreign plot.
He went on to say that the country was on the right track until a US-backed plot to destabilize his administration was planned with the cooperation of the former Opposition.
Imran insisted that the plan was not against him, but against Pakistan, and that his administration was overthrown at a time when the country was making tremendous progress in terms of industrial and agricultural expansion, as well as a record-breaking increase in GDP (GDP).
The previous opposition was considered to be extremely experienced and capable in governing the country, but the entire nation observed their condition and ineptitude in administering the country for one month, according to the former prime minister.
Despite their experience, he added, the rupee was devaluing, the stock market was falling, and inflation was rising.
He stated that they were capable and experienced in looting the country and committing corruption.
He claimed that the PML-N and its partners merely came to power to settle their corruption charges and safeguard their looted funds.
Addressing the young, he stated that Pakistan could not flourish and thrive until the rule of law was implemented.
At the conclusion of the news conference, he urged law enforcement agencies and the bureaucracy not to obstruct the long march by arresting PTI employees, warning that they would be held accountable for their conduct.
He said that the PTI was planning a lengthy march on Islamabad since it was an insult to Pakistan’s 220 million people that a US Undersecretary threatened Pakistan’s ambassador to dismiss Imran’s administration or face harsh times. He asserted that Imran Khan went to Russia against the US’s orders and was conducting his own foreign policy.
Imran Khan Is Planning A Long March In The Last Week Of May
May 23, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan announced on Saturday that the date for a lengthy march to Islamabad will be announced in the final week of May.
Imran Khan claimed the decision was made by the PTI’s central committee in a video message. “After much deliberation, we decided to announce the date of the long march in the last week of May.”
He claimed that the country had been mistreated and that the most corrupt individuals had been forced onto it. Imran Khan said that 60% of the cabinet members are on bail.
He said that the prime minister is known as the “crime minister” and that he is facing money-laundering charges totaling Rs40 billion with the FIA and NAB. Imran Khan urged everyone to get ready for the lengthy march from Chand Raat.
“This is an invitation to all Pakistanis, not just the PTI.” You must inform the entire world that Pakistan is a living nation.”
He exhorted everyone to come out with [Pakistan] flags, particularly young people. “Inshallah, our next move will be the Islamabad march,” he continued.
Imran Khan said that a “sea of people” will converge in Islamabad, certifying that no foreign power can impose the corrupt clan on Pakistan’s people, and that the country will select its own fate.
F1 Will Not Replace Russian GP As 2022 Calendar Stays At 22 Races
May 21, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
The decision leaves a two-weekend gap between the finish of the European season on September 11 in Monza and the start of the six-race flyaway series in Singapore on October 2.
Shortly after the Russian invasion on Ukraine began, the Sochi event was cancelled, along with the event’s ongoing contract.
F1 quickly began exploring for alternate locations in order to retain the overall number of races this year at 23.
Qatar was an early candidate. Last year, the country staged a race at the Doha circuit, and it will do so again in 2023. Due to its commitment to the FIFA World Cup, it had intended to skip this year.
The September date was deemed to be early enough to avoid clashing with football tournament preparations, but there were worries about the high heat and its possible influence on the turnout.
The notion of a second race in Singapore a week before the conventional grand prix and perhaps at a different time of day arose throughout the Melbourne weekend.
However, logistical concerns prevented F1 from transferring directly from a European site to Singapore.
The money was crucial to any arrangement. F1 is in a totally different scenario than it was two years ago, when certain venues offered low-cost or even no-cost solutions to keep the number of races up.
A new race would have had to make financial sense for both the teams and F1 itself, given global inflation and substantial increases in freight costs.
The confirmation will be welcomed by the teams, who are facing the difficulty of staying under budget while constructing fresh new vehicles in the midst of an already tight timetable.

LAHORE: Pakistan’s Asia Cup campaign got off to a bad start as they lost 2-1 to South Korea in a practice match in Jakarta.
According to the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF )’s on Friday, Ali Shan scored Pakistan’s sole goal, while South Korea scored two goals, one on a short corner and the other in a field effort.
On Monday, Pakistan takes on arch-rival India in the Asia Cup opener, followed by a match against Indonesia on Tuesday.
The Asia Cup will also act as a qualifier for the World Cup next year, which will feature four Asian countries.
Pakistan Is Considering Playing In A Tri-Series Against New Zealand Ahead Of The T20 World Cup
May 19, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Sport News
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has formally contacted the PCB for the series, which is expected to take place in the first week of October, with the World Cup starting in the middle of the month. “The PCB has been asked to play in a tri-series in New Zealand ahead of the T20 World Cup,” said the NZC. “We are currently examining the invitation and will contact the NZC after a consultation period.”
While Bangladesh, which was also invited by the NZC, has confirmed their participation in the series, Pakistan’s congested September schedule has prevented the PCB from making a quick decision.
Pakistan will compete in the T20 Asia Cup from September 1 to 17, followed by a seven-match T20 series against England, the dates of which have yet to be determined.
Another issue that the PCB is considering is games that are scheduled outside of the pre-determined Future Tours Program. According to reports, the ultimate decision will be taken by the Pakistan team management, lead by Saqlain Mushtaq, and would take into account the players’ workload.
New Zealand’s cricketing ties with Pakistan were harmed when the latter abruptly cancelled their visit to the nation hours before the opening match, citing security concerns.
Dawn has learned that NZC reimbursed the PCB financially for their losses following the Kiwis’ departure. According to insiders, it paid a “significant” sum to cover the PCB’s expenses for the guests’ lodging, security, and venue arrangements. The PCB reacted angrily to New Zealand’s surprise withdrawal from the tour, with chairman Ramiz Raja criticizing the move.
New Zealand vowed to return to Pakistan in December-January for a three-match One-day International series and two Test matches, as well as five one-dyers and as many T20s in April 2023.
