There is much outrage over the Supreme Court’s decision of June 14 in which the bench declared the leases of more than 10,000 houses fake with a stroke of a pen.

KARACHI:
The year 2020 will for times to come be remembered as a year of loss and mourning. As the year draws to a close, we remember some of Pakistan s notable personalities who we lost this year forever.
Their loss - for various reasons - added to the despair of the friends and families they left behind as the outbreak of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic upended, among several other things, our traditional ways of mourning the demise of a loved one.
