Both Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are predicted to see rain, high gusts, and thunderstorms.

The city’s forecast is still gloomy in Lahore due to the intense humidity brought on by recent rainfall. Sabzazar H Block experienced power outages that lasted up to 48 hours due to interruptions in the supply system, as reported by the Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) in several regions.

Balambat in Timergara’s Maidan River has flooded as a result of heavy rains in Lower Dir. Periodic rains have caused water to infiltrate homes in Sharifabad, where rescue workers are attempting to remove the water using pumps. Swabi has seen this situation before. Rescue efforts are underway after two animals in Kotha were buried in the wreckage when a house’s roof fell from the rain.

Reshun Valley and other streams in Upper Chitral, as well as the Chitral and Lower Dir regions, have experienced significant flooding as a result of the recent rains. In addition to severely damaging homes, gardens, and farmland, the floods have also hampered traffic. Low-lying areas in Lower Chitral have been inundated by similar flooding that has been reported in the rivers of Koghuzi, Shishi Koh, and Kalash Valley.

A flood crisis resulted from late-night heavy rain in various locations in upper and lower Chitral. Damage was done to gardens, homes, and standing crops.

Extended rains in the Neelum, Jhelum, and Muzaffarabad valleys have brought beautiful weather, but they have also resulted in road closures, especially on the highway that connects Muzaffarabad to Rawalpindi at Kohala. Next day rain is expected, according to the Met Department.

Also, Dadu, Attock, and Mehr have had heavy showers and thunder, which has improved the weather.

Rivers in Balochistan’s northeastern districts have flooded as a result of heavy rains; rivers like the Nari, Tali, Lehri, and Mishkaf have recorded high water flow.

Traffic in Mahandri Bazaar was suspended and substantial damage was caused to Mahandri drain on the Kaghan highway in Mansehra due to extreme flooding. Presently, the Kaghan Valley is overrun by stranded tourists.

The Harnai-Quetta roadway is closed due to severe rainfall that continued through the night in Harnai and its surrounding areas, resulting in river and canal flooding. Farmlands in the area have also been harmed by the high-level flood discharge in the Zardalu river.

Rainy trains have begun to appear in rivers and canals, and the temperature has dropped in Khyber district and its suburbs as a result of the sporadic rain.

In Kalam’s upper regions, the rains in Swat have resulted in flooding. The wash-away of a temporary land route has suspended communication with the upper areas. In order to repair the passage, heavy machinery has arrived.

According to a spokesperson, all departments—including NHA—have been instructed to maintain vigilance, and efforts are on to maintain traffic on the highways in Swat, Kalam, and other popular tourist destinations.

The country is still facing major issues as a result of the severe rains, but authorities are trying to rectify the damage and help affected populations.

Instagram releases a kid-focused feature.

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.

Published

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.”
