The oversight of the Hajj operation will be directly conducted by the Minister of Religious Affairs and the federal secretary, as stated by the spokeswoman for the Religious Affairs ministry.

The pre-Hajj flight operation for the government initiative concluded smoothly today. The remaining 380 pilgrims from the government initiative in Islamabad have also arrived in Jeddah.

Within the upcoming 48 hours, a total of 20,000 individuals undertaking a religious pilgrimage will travel to Saudi Arabia to participate in the Hajj. 70,000 pilgrims have successfully arrived in Saudi Arabia via the private Hajj program. The departure of Hajj pilgrims for Mina is scheduled for the evening of June 13th and 14th. The Pakistan Hajj Mission has set up a camp office in Mina to provide convenience.

Hajj licenses have been revoked for domestic pilgrims who do not have the required immunization.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah has notified the cancellation of Hajj permits for a number of domestic pilgrims due to their non-compliance with the Neisseria meningitis vaccine requirement.

The ministry announced on its X platform that 90 percent of domestic pilgrims have fulfilled the necessary preventative health criteria, including receiving vaccinations, to save themselves from any infections when interacting with other pilgrims.

The ministry urged the remaining domestic pilgrims to promptly acquire the Neisseria meningitis vaccine in order to prevent the revocation of their Hajj visas.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior reported that the Hajj Security Forces apprehended 21 individuals who were attempting to transport 61 pilgrims to Makkah without a valid Hajj permission. The individuals apprehended at the entry ports of Makkah on June 7 comprised of 13 citizens and eight expats.

The General Directorate of Passports’ seasonal administrative committees have issued a total of 21 administrative decisions against individuals. These decisions entail penalties such as a 15-day imprisonment for each person involved and a fine of SR10,000. The fine is multiplied by the number of violators being transported. The names of the violators will be publicly disclosed in local media, at their own cost. Additionally, the expatriates will be deported after serving their prison sentences, and they will be prohibited from reentering the Kingdom for a duration determined by the law. The committee also resolved to request the court of law to seize three vehicles utilized for transportation.

Lt. Gen. Muhammad Al-Bassami, the Director of Public Security, reported that over 140 fraudulent Hajj companies were apprehended by Public Security authorities during the current Hajj season. The Ministry of Interior has urged all citizens and expats to adhere to the regulations and directions of Hajj in order to ensure the security, safety, and comfort of the pilgrims during the Hajj season.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
