KARACHI: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) witnessed sharp volatility on Tuesday, but last-hour value-hunting helped the benchmark KSE-100 index close in the green for a second consecutive session. Market nervousness stemmed from a fragile US-Iran ceasefire following a day of clashes involving shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and missile strikes targeting the UAE. Topline Securities Ltd said the benchmark index saw a mixed and volatile session, touching an intraday low of 1,415 points and a high of 971 points, before settling at 164,742.47, up 793.53 points or 0.48 per cent), amid persistent uncertainty over US-Iran developments.

The Sindh provincial government in Pakistan granted a permit for Aurat March's Mother's Day gathering in Karachi on May 10, 2026, but imposed 28 restrictions including bans on 'anti-state' slogans, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and clothing deemed 'objectionable.' The march organizers rejected the conditions as violations of freedom of assembly, while the broader Aurat March movement condemned the restrictions as tools of state censorship and control of women's rights activism.

• Calls for nationwide audit, seizure of non-compliant, falsely labelled stocks • Blames Drap, provincial authorities for ‘catastrophic failure’ KARACHI: Warning of a looming “man-made epidemic”, the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) on Thursday expressed serious concern over the widespread manufacture and use of reusable syringes despite a countrywide ban and demanded an audit of all syringe-manufacturing units and the seizure of all non-compliant stocks. The association also called for a high-level inquiry into how “falsely labelled” syringes passed regulatory checks and entered the supply chain, while urging stringent legal action against clinics and practitioners found using or possessing banned conventional syringes. “In addition, the government must initiate an emergency awareness campaign to educate the public on identifying genuine auto-disable syringes,” the PMA said in a statement. It directly held the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (Drap) and provincial health authorities responsible for a “catastrophic failure”. “It is not merely a bureaucratic lapse; it is a direct assault on the lives of millions of Pakistanis. The PMA stands with the victims of this negligence and warns the government that unless immediate corrective measures are taken, the current rise in HIV cases will evolve into an uncontrollable national emergency,” it added. The association regretted that the ban on conventional disposable syringes imposed in 2021, which was once hailed as a landmark step for infection control, had now been exposed as a “paper-only” policy. “The discovery of syringes falsely labelled as ‘auto-disable’ (AD) that function as reusable instruments is a criminal deception.

KARACHI: While inflation-hit Karachiites are already paying the highest price of flour in the country, the city administration’s decision to further increase the prices of various flour varieties by Rs4 to Rs15 has compounded their problems. As usual, the new price list of various essential items issued by the Commissioner of Karachi has provided no relief to the masses as retailers continue to defy the official rates. Retailers also maintained an old habit of not displaying the price list of commodities at their shops.
