  • Punjab CM Usman Buzdar will inaugurate the ‘Khidmat Apki Dehleez Per’ initiative. The programme aims to use government machinery for the delivery of services in residential and other areas.

  • Kuwait will “immediately” resume granting family and business visas to Pakistani nationals, Minister for Interior Shaikh Rasheed said Sunday after a meeting with Prime Minister Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah. Pakistani labourers will also be issued work visas under an agreement between the two countries. Kuwait had stopped issuing visas to Pakistan and four other countries in 2011 “over what it said was difficult security conditions in the five countries”, Arab News had reported in March.
  • The authorities in Karachi have imposed a “micro smart lockdown” in the city’s Central district due to an increase in the number of coronavirus cases.
