Pakistan trolled globally after writing US ‘Unites States of Americas’ in official statement

Islamabad: Pakistan has once again found itself at the centre of international ridicule after its Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an official note filled with glaring errors. The statement referred to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his visit to the United States to attend the inaugural session of the Board of Peace from February 18 to 20. What sparked widespread mockery was the headline that read, "Prime Minister's Visit to the Unites States of Americas." The note contained two obvious typos, incorrectly writing 'Unites' instead of United and 'Americas' instead of America. Social media users quickly spotted the blunders and…

Noida, Ghaziabad join Gurugram in luxury homes demand surge: Will premium segment continue to outperform?

New Delhi: Luxury housing across NCR has registered a sharp uptick, with projects witnessing stronger sales velocity and steady price appreciation over the past year.

Italy bow out of T20 World Cup with better six-hitting show that Pakistan and Australia

Kolkata: Italy lost to the West Indies today in their final group stage game as they couldn't chase down the target of 166 runs. They featured in the T20 World Cup for the first time and have bowed out of the tournament with one win in four matches. However, they impressed many with their performance as Italy, at one stage, were in the hunt to beat England in the 203-run chase. Moreover, their six-hitting prowess impressed many the most as they were much better than teams like Pakistan and Australia in the group stage. The Italian cricket team finished the…

Taliban’s new law allows husbands to beat wives so long as there are ‘no broken bones, open wounds’

Kabul: The Taliban has introduced a new penal code in Afghanistan that appears to allow husbands to physically punish their wives and children, as long as the injuries do not include “broken bones” or “open wounds”.

Under the code, a husband who uses force that leaves visible fractures or injuries could face only up to 15 days in prison, as cited by the Independent. The new rules make it difficult for women…

India enter Super Eights with plenty of batting issues, team remains calm ahead of South Africa clash

Ahmedabad : Four wins in four matches might suggest that everything is going well in the Indian team. However, someone who had a closer look would understand the underlying issues that need to be sorted before the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup 2026. Abhishek Sharma’s three ducks on the trot may appear unlucky on his part, but there’s a technical pattern at play. Opposing teams have studied the southpaw closely, exploiting his vulnerabilities. Entering the tournament as one of the “players to watch,” Abhishek has struggled against spin in the powerplay. Both Pakistan and the Netherlands capitalised on…
