    Karachi traffic accidents claim 108 lives in 45 days

    Canada Global (Web News) Traffic accidents in Karachi have escalated in 2025, resulting in 108 fatalities—72 in urban areas and 24 in the suburbs. The rise in dumper truck-related crashes has further worsened the situation.

    A freight train collided with a trailer near Mai Kolachi, followed by an oil tanker crashing into them. The oil tanker’s front portion was crushed, trapping its driver inside. After intensive rescue efforts, the driver was successfully freed.

    Authorities confirmed the accident occurred at an unmanned railway track. Traffic on Mai Kolachi Road was severely affected, with diversions in place from MT Khan Road to PIDC and Boat Basin towards Bilawal Chowrangi.

    Meanwhile, a separate accident in Malir’s Memon Goth claimed one life. Initial reports suggested a dumper was involved, but investigations found no evidence. The deceased’s identity remains unknown.

    In response, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced measures to improve road safety. The Sindh government has mandated fitness and registration for all heavy vehicles, barring those without valid fitness certificates.

    Additionally, the water board has introduced a barcode system for registered water tankers to ensure compliance with safety standards. Unregistered vehicles will be seized, and previously registered ones will be reassessed.

    A 30-day deadline has been set for heavy traffic vehicles to obtain fitness certification. Furthermore, the operational hours for dumper trucks in Karachi have been revised, now restricted to 10pm-6am instead of 11pm-6pm.

    Speaking on news channel, Memon emphasized shared responsibility for road safety, attributing accidents to reckless driving, traffic violations, and enforcement gaps.

    He clarified that vehicle fitness regulations are longstanding and that the government plans to outsource the transport department to improve oversight.

  • Monsoon rains lash southern, upper Pakistan as 14 more deaths reported

    Monsoon rains lash southern, upper Pakistan as 14 more deaths reported

    Canada Global (Web News) In the past 24 hours, monsoon rains have pounded the southern regions of the nation, causing flash flooding that cut off numerous cities and villages from the rest of the nation and killing 12 people and wounding 15.

    In Sindh and Balochistan, a large region was drowned by rainwater and a deluge in local streams and minor rivers, causing damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Additionally, southern Punjab’s arid region of Cholistan and other areas saw severe downpours.

    The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) reports that six deaths and 13 additional injuries have been confirmed in Balochistan thus far.

    On the other side, a landslip in Gilgit-Baltistan resulted in the deaths of three family members—a mother and her two children—and the injuries of two others.

    In the past, flash flooding brought on by heavy rains forced the administration to declare an emergency in Lower Chitral and Upper Chitral, a region susceptible to flash flooding like other areas of Malakand and Hazara divisions.

  • Second Russian oil shipment reaches Pakistan

    Second Russian oil shipment reaches Pakistan

    Canada Global (Web News) As Pakistan now relies on cheaper supplies from Russia to cut its trade imbalance and relieve pressure on its declining currency, an oil tanker delivering the second batch of Russian crude anchored at the port.

    The operation to unload the consignment of 55,000 metric tonnes of crude oil that is being carried by the ship “Clyde Noble” will shortly begin.

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that he had kept another promise as soon as the first cargo of Russian oil arrived in Pakistan. “Today is a day of transformation. In the direction of prosperity, economic development, energy security, and affordability, we are making little but steady progress.

    Separately, Pakistan’s State Minister for Petroleum Musadik Malik told Reuters that the country paid in Chinese currency for its first government-to-government import of discounted Russian crude, but he declined to discuss the deal’s financial terms, such as the price or the discount Pakistan received.

    Malik predicted that if a steady supply of oil from Russia was guaranteed, the price of petroleum goods would begin to fall. He said, “When Pakistan started meeting one-third of the domestic needs through the imported Russian oil, there was going to be a huge difference in prices with the benefit being transferred to the masses.”

    We aim to purchase one-third of the crude oil from Russia at a reduced price. The oil [petroleum products] will be more affordable once we have accomplished our goal.

    Musadik also made fun of the PTI’s assertion that the previous administration was overthrown because it planned to purchase Russian oil, claiming that the fuel had already arrived from Russia.

    He denied reports that the PTI had pushed forward with a plan to buy oil from Russia, claiming that the ministry did not have a single document to support the assertion. He reminded the audience that the Russian envoy had previously denied their assertion.
