Islamabad airport to shut down for 8 eight days



Flight operations at Islamabad International Airport will face temporary suspensions on select days in August due to Independence Day parade rehearsals, the Pakistan Airport Authority announced.

 During rehearsals, flights will be halted. The authority has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) stating that on August 11, 12, and 13 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., arrivals and departures will be suspended. Airlines have been directed not to schedule any flights during these hours.

 Additionally, additional suspension days earlier in the month are covered by the NOTAM. In order to accommodate parade practice, flight operations will be suspended for varying lengths from August 6 to 9 and from August 11 to 14. In these eight days, a special daytime suspension will take place between 11am and 1pm.

 It is advised that passengers check the schedules. To avoid inconvenience, authorities have urged travelers to confirm their flight times in advance. Airlines are expected to adjust schedules and notify passengers of any changes.

 The brief suspensions are part of the security and logistical preparations for Pakistan's 77th Independence Day celebrations, which will take place in the federal capital with a full ceremonial display.

It would appear that the GPU was shipped to one of these Chinese labs, where the GPU and VRAM chips from the RTX 5090s are removed. Redditor Orders MSI RTX 5090 Ventus 3X From Amazon but Finds No Tamper Seal; Further Investigation Revealed Ripped GPU Chip and VRAM From the PCB  Fake GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs are flooding the market once more. Since we have witnessed and reported fraud of this kind on multiple occasions, it shouldn't come as a surprise that this one resembles something we have recently reported. The GeForce RTX 5090 is highly sought after, particularly in the AI market in China. The GPU can only enter the country through smuggling because the country has an official ban on it.

Overseas Pakistanis send record $3.2b

KARACHI:  In July 2025, Pakistan received $3.21 billion in worker remittances, up 7.4% year-over-year from $2.99 billion in July 2024. These remittances were brought to the country by over 2 million economic migrants who were dissatisfied with the political and economic situation in Pakistan and sought employment elsewhere. According to preliminary data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the inflows also showed a significant increase of 47.6% compared to July 2023, indicating a strong recovery in transfers of overseas workers over the past two years. Increasing inflows from Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the European Union (EU) were primarily responsible for the expansion. However, despite the overall improvement, the data indicate emerging vulnerabilities for Pakistan's external account due to significant declines in a number of important remittance corridors. Pakistan remained dependent on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for th...
