Aankh ....
Mujse mat pooch ki kyun aankh jhuka li maine,
teri tasveer thi jo tujhse chupa li maine,
jis pe likha tha ki tu mere muqaddar mein nahi,apne maathe ki woh tehreer mita li meine,
har janm sabko yahaan sachha pyaar kahaan milta hai,teri chaahat mein to umr bita li meine,
mujhko jaane kahaan ehsaas mere le jaayein,waqt ke haathon se ek nazm utha li meine,
ghere rehti hai mujhe ek anokhi khushbu,teri yaadon se har ek saans saja li meine,
jiske sheron ko woh sunke bahut roya tha,bas wohi ek ghazal sabse chupa li meine...

Eid celebrated in full swing in Attock , Punjab Pakistan
Attock city was brimming with religious fervour on the year’s most festive day on Friday as thousands of residents marked Eidul Fitr celebrations.
After the Eid prayers on Friday, the city’s parks and public eateries were filled with dressed up children with their families for the entire Eid weekend. The pleasant weather further lifted people’s spirits although the lack of public transport forced many to hire private vehicles and rickshaws which was an added burden on their pockets.
Jinnah Park in Attock Cantt and Railway Park, along with the banks of the Indus River were packed with families and young boys and girls were particularly happy as schools would be reopening on August 16. At the same time, there were numerous complaints over the lack of basic amenities at the park and the exorbitant rates of edibles at public and private eateries.
Residents were of the view that prices of food items at public parks should be monitored as items were being sold at double their market prices and the entry fee should be waived off at special holidays.

Crime on the rise in Attock

Javed Iqbal found his bike missing when he parked it outside the house of a friend. A few days ago a Railways employee r/o Shakardara was deprived of his bike at gun point when he was going to railway station. Similarly Khawaja Shahid of Amir Hamza Colony was deprived of Rs 25,000 and eight-tola gold ornaments at gun point when he along with his family was present at his home. The residents told The Nation that police are claiming increase in patrolling and taking other measures but all this seem lip service.

Universal enrolment: Teachers’ Union, govt start talks
LAHORE:
The Punjab Teachers Union on Thursday held talks with the School Education Department to end a deadlock after teachers across the province threatened to boycott the enrollment drive in the wake of penalisation of teachers owing to poor results.
This is the first round of talks between the department and the teachers after Emergency Enrollment Campaign was launched by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on August 14.
The door-to-door enrollment will make use of nearly 30,000 teachers.
The meeting was held between Schools Education Department Additional Secretary General Ahmed Ali Kamboh and officials of the Punjab Teachers Union (PTU) as per an earlier arrangement.
The PTU said that the meeting was held to convey reservations of teachers who had earlier threatened to boycott the enrollment drive.
According to a statement issued by the PTU, a 14-point charter of demands had been presented by the PTU President Chaudhry Sarfaraz to Kamboh.
The demands included complying with the recommendations of the Pay and Pension Commission, medical and rent allowances, restricting additional field duties of teachers and teacher training programmes.
A review of English as the language of instruction was also recommended.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, PTU General Secretary Rana Liaquat Ali said he was hopeful the matter would soon be resolved.
He said the PTU had demanded penalisation of teachers be immediately stopped.
“The additional secretary has assured us he will immediately address our grievances,” he said.
Ali said that the two-day training for the enrollment drive had a low teacher turnout on Thursday.
Meanwhile, PTU officials teachers may boycott the drive if the second round of talks failed.
“There is a huge possibility that teachers may boycott the drive and even go on a strike if talks fail next week,” Ali said.
According to PTU, a meeting with Secretary Schools Abdul Jabbar Shaheen was scheduled for next week.
