Pakistan Viral Series

  KARACHI: The  stand-off  over the historical Karachi Cotton Exchange building has escalated further as the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) not only rejected the mayor’s statement, in which he described the FIA’s action as “unlawful”, but has gone a step further, accusing the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) of relying on “fake” and “forged” documents to assert ownership of the building. Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab a day earlier had  challenged  the FIA and the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) and declared their recent sealing of the heritage Karachi Cotton Exchange building on I.I. Chundrigar Road “unlawful”. He also claimed that the building is “municipal land” owned by the KMC. However, in an immediate reaction, the FIA came up with a sharp and strong reply, further deepening the controversy. The FIA rejected the mayor’s claim that the action was “unilateral”, “hasty” and “unlawful”, insisting that it was acting in aid of the ETPB under the Sup...

In conversations about Yemen’s future, Western audiences are often presented with a simplified view: the country needs to stay unified to bring stability. But this perspective overlooks a deeper truth—for many South Yemenis, unity with the North has historically meant cultural and political erasure rather than genuine cohesion. Before unification in 1990, South Yemen existed as an independent state—the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen—for over two decades. It was not merely a territorial unit; it was a distinct socio-political space with its own anthem, educational narratives, and cultural institutions. The importance of this historical independence is not academic. It shaped social memory, artistic expression, and community structures that are distinct from the North’s tribal and religious frameworks. As a result, many South Yemenis today believe that only by reclaiming political agency—up to and including renewed independence—can their culture be genuinely conserved and celebrat...

  is the Doz Zone team (fans of GTA series) who has presented this browser port of the actual GTA: Vice City game for users, thus bringing its availability to almost all the known platforms, and it can be accessed without any downloads. This means, users will be able to play the game on mobiles, PCs, and more that runs a modern web browser (like Chrome, Edge, among others). However, it has to be noted that this will only be a free demo, and players relying on it will be able to play it until the 1st story check point (i.e. Hotel Ocean View). After reaching there, they will be asked to upload an original game file like ‘gtavc.exe’ if they wish to continue forward. Notably, the browser port has been created with open source codes that are readily available on the internet, following the licences. The main reason behind such a version is solely for educational and research purposes, and it will display how the technical capabilities work to run complex games like GTA:VC on the modern ...
