LAHORE: A large number of farmers ransacked a government rest-house while protesting against Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA) here on Tuesday.
Revenue officers have called farmers at Babakwal Bangla on Kala Khatai Road to announce the award rates of to be acquired land. The meeting started around 12noon and as soon as the farmers heard the government’s proposed rates for their lands they became infuriated and started chanting slogans.
They exchanged hot words with the revenue officers and one of the officers slapped a farmer after which farmers became violent and a scuffle started between them and revenue officers. The revenue officers fled the scene and the infuriated farmers ransacked the rest-house and blocked Kala Khatai Road for several hours.
Some of the various designs displayed at the event.
KARACHI: Shamsha Hashwani opened Day 2 of ‘A Secret Garden Fashion Pakistan Week Spring/Summer ‘21’, with the Lenny Massey band in attendance, with ‘Surraiya’, a collection for brides and grooms in complementing tones and zari, tills and dhaba work. Its appeal lay in classic eastern cuts and silhouettes.
Amnesia by Maheen Khan in collaboration with Hilal Silk Palace aimed to revive the dying craft of hand-woven silk thread and the union brought forth a stunning collection in black and muted grey with classic Maheen signature cuts and silhouettes accentuated with beehive pattern gold jackets as separates. Overall the effect remained mesmerising. A triumph hands down as always.
It was fashion week, simmered down, decluttered, honed into an efficient, timely model.
Small but chic, from the illuminated tree in the centre of the courtyard that was fashioned into a catwalk to the live jazz music playing in the background, Fashion Pakistan Week (FPW) had a classy vibe to it.
Coffee and pizza were served in the refreshingly short break in the middle of the shows, eliminating the possibility of fashion fatigue! Not that FPW was fatiguing. The hair and makeup, fumbling on the first day, was much better on this day, opting for the muted, pastel tones that were safe but worked well enough.
