Asim Jofa Designs Protective Gear For Doctors & Medical Staff
Coronavirus has claimed around 31000 lives around the world and is rapidly spreading in Pakistan. The number of cases in the country have closed around 1560 with 14 deaths all over. Doctors and medical staff have been fighting the battle at the frontline, risking their own lives and helping patients suffering from this deadly virus around the world.
While fighting at such close proximity with a virus that is highly contagious, its a sham that Pakistani doctors haven’t been provided with apt medical protective suits that allows them to keep their ownselves safe. Although aid has been arriving in the shape of protective suits and masks for the medical staff, there is still a shortage in the country.
In such a situation, it is commendable that Pakistanis with a reach and influence are taking steps to curb the shortage of medical protective suits for the doctors and nurses fighting on the front line with COVID19.

Sabaat Episode 1 Story Review – Few Surprises
I was eagerly looking forward to this first episode because the teasers were quite promising. My first impression of the drama is actually quite different from what I was expecting it to be. Firstly, I was looking forward to watching Sarah Khan in a different role and was more excited about that than Mawra’s role in the drama. After watching this first episode however I am pleasantly surprised with Mawra’s character and performance. The leading characters are somewhat clichéd – the modern girl who is shallow and the dupatta clad girl who has a completely different outlook towards life.
First Impressions I definitely enjoyed watching Anaya’s (Mawra Hocane) scenes with her parents more than anything else in this first episode. Syed Muhammad Ahmed is such a graceful and convincing actor, no one plays the loving and caring father better than him. The chemistry he shares with all his on-screen daughters is exceptional every single time. Apart from that, I was expecting Miraal (Sarah Khan) ..
Amir Liaquat’s Little Act Of Kindness During Quarantine
Pakistan is in crisis these days. We are not financially strong enough to cure thousands of patients all at once. Coronavirus is spreading rapidly throughout the country and the only way to control it is to stay in isolation. People are requested to maintain social distancing and avoid gatherings until things get better.
Doctors, nurses, medical staff, police, and rangers are playing the most important role right now. They are risking their lives every day to save the lives of millions of families. They are on their duty day and night to stop everyone from roaming on the roads without any reason. Doctors are trying their best to cure coronavirus patients.
We as citizens of Pakistan salute all the doctors, paramedical staff, police, and rangers for doing an amazing job in this difficult time. Amir Liaquat did an act of kindness to appreciate the real heroes. He cooked biryani on his own and distributed among all the police and rangers near his home.
It was his way of saying than..
