Houthi missile attacks on Saudi airports, dozens of flights from Pakistan canceled

Dozens of flights from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia were cancelled following missile attacks on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport and Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport.

According to aviation sources, the operation of Saudi Airlines flights is facing uncertainty; this crisis has led to the cancellation and delay of hundreds of flights. The cancelled flights include six from Karachi to Riyadh, 14 from Islamabad, 12 from Lahore, and two from Peshawar.

The closure of Riyadh Airport has been extended by another 24 hours. Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport will remain closed until late tonight (midnight).

The closure of Riyadh Airport severely disrupted flight operations at the airports in Jeddah, Medina, and Dammam as well. Due to the uncertainty, 34 flights scheduled to depart from various Pakistani airports to Riyadh today were cancelled.

It should be noted that attacks by Yemen’s Houthis on Saudi Arabia are ongoing; a Pakistani national was killed and 11 people were injured in an attack on King Khalid International Airport in the capital, Riyadh.

Just two days ago, an attack at King Khalid Airport resulted in 13 deaths and 309 injuries. The fatalities included a Mufti from Bangladesh, as well as citizens of Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, the United States, and India.

Naan And Roti Prices In Pakistan Increased

Flour prices have risen in Pakistan; price of roti has also gone up

Across the country, flour prices have gone beyond the reach of the general public. Stone-ground flour is now selling at 200 rupees per kilogram, while the price of fine ata (flour) has also seen a significant increase. The price of roti has also risen to between 30 and 35 rupees.

Similarly, fine ata —which has a fixed wholesale rate of Rs 132 per kilogram—is being sold at Rs 176 per kilogram. Ration flour is available at Rs 161 per kilogram in the wholesale market and Rs 168 per kilogram in the retail market.

Meanwhile, the price of roti has also reached the range of 30 to 35 rupees. Controlling market prices has become difficult because flour mill owners are failing to supply flour at government-fixed rates.

Lahore will host 10-day Basant festival from January 29, 2027

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif announced a 10-day Basant festival in Lahore on Wednesday and, revising the schedule, decided to hold the event from January 29 to February 7, 2027.

According to an official announcement, the festivities will be suspended for one day on February 5 in observance of Kashmir Day. This decision follows the revival of Basant in Lahore earlier this year, when the traditional spring festival was celebrated from February 6 to 8 after the provincial government lifted the 2007 ban on kite-flying via an ordinance.

The Chief Minister directed officials to organize a grand-scale festival to mark the arrival of 2027 and to promote Punjab’s cultural heritage. Maryam stated, “The ten-day Baisakhi (or Basant) celebrations will help showcase Punjab’s cultural vibrancy and Lahore’s ancient historical traditions to the world.”

A ban on kite flying and its manufacture was first imposed in Punjab in 2005, after more than 25 people lost their lives as a result. The ban was intermittently relaxed in 2006 and 2007, but was reimposed in 2007 following a rise in fatalities.

According to available records, more than 2,020 people have lost their lives in kite-flying-related incidents up to 2024. Over 90 percent of these deaths were caused by chemically treated kite strings that slashed the victims’ throats or faces.

Electric Scooty battery exploded during Charging at GC University

A fire broke out in the parking area of Government College Women University, Faisalabad, after an electric scooty’s battery exploded while charging; the incident resulted in the destruction of a parked university bus and seven other electric scooters.

Rescue 1122 teams quickly brought the fire under control, and there were no casualties or injuries in the incident. The university’s fire safety system alerted the security staff, who evacuated the area before the rescue teams arrived.

This incident has raised concerns regarding the safety of charging electric scooters on university campuses, particularly concerning the presence of charging points near parked vehicles and other flammable materials.

This incident has occurred at a time when Punjab is expanding infrastructure for electric vehicles in educational institutions. The province is working on establishing charging facilities at colleges, and as the use of electric vehicles grows, the importance of adequate charging arrangements and fire safety measures is also increasing.

Banks in Pakistan will remain open until 10 PM tonight

Pakistan’s commercial banks will extend their operating hours until 10:00 PM today (Wednesday, September 30, 2026) to allow taxpayers to complete over-the-counter payments of government dues and taxes before the deadline expires.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) issued this directive at the request of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). Banks have also been instructed to facilitate special clearing arrangements for government transactions and to ensure the uninterrupted provision of digital payment services via internet banking, mobile apps, ATMs, and other online channels.

Consequently, taxpayers may utilize both physical bank branches and digital banking facilities to complete their payments on time.

Atlas Honda launches new CD 70 2027 model in Pakistan – Price

It is officially August 1, 2026, and Atlas Honda has done what it does best! The iconic motorcycle giant has officially launched the latest Honda CD 70 2027 new model in Pakistan.

If you were expecting a disc brake, a digital speedometer, or a design overhaul, hold your horses. True to tradition, Atlas Honda has once again unveiled the new model with a fresh sticker graphic and updated color trim on the fuel tank and side covers while keeping the core mechanical engine completely identical to its predecessors.

Despite the repetitive yearly “sticker upgrade,” the Honda CD 70 remains the undisputed king of Pakistani roads due to its unbeatable fuel economy, low maintenance costs, and high resale value.

What’s New in the Honda CD 70 Model?

The short answer? The graphics.

Atlas Honda’s design team has refreshed the adhesive tank decals and side cover badges:

Sticker & Graphic Redesign: Sharp, sporty lines with new dual-tone highlight strips over the classic Red, Black, and Blue color variants.
Frame & Engine: Identical 72cc 4-stroke OHC air-cooled engine producing smooth performance for everyday city commute.
Features: Standard kick-start system, backbone frame, 4-speed manual transmission, and drum brakes front and rear.

Key Takeaway: If you own a recent model, the upgrade is purely aesthetic. However, if you are looking to buy a brand-new motorcycle out of the dealership, you’ll be getting the latest registration badge and fresh graphic appeal.

Technical Specifications Overview

For buyers wanting to look under the hood, here are the key specs that power the country’s favourite 70cc commuter:

Engine Type: 4-Stroke OHC Air Cooled Single Cylinder
Displacement: 72 cm³
Transmission: 4-Speed Constant Mesh
Fuel Capacity: 8.5 Liters (1.0 Liter Reserve)
Dry Weight: 82 kg

Why Does Honda Stick to Just Changing Graphics?

Many enthusiasts criticize Atlas Honda for lack of innovation, but the commercial formula works for three main reasons:

Unmatched Parts Availability: Using identical engine architecture for decades means mechanics in every town in Pakistan know how to fix it, and parts are extremely cheap.
Resale Value: Because the base model remains consistent, resale value stays surprisingly stable.
Fuel Efficiency: In an economy with rising fuel costs, achieving 50–60 km/L makes the CD 70 the practical budget choice for daily office workers and students
