Welcome back, bloggers!
We hear the top brass distanced itself from the bloggers’ detention and now they’re all coming home, with charges dropped. This is good news. We hear some of them were also on the ruling party’s media cell, which had some people hopping in indignation, but kudos to Mr Bean (if indeed kudos is due) for being an equal-opportunity offender!
110 year old institution
A renowned rights activist has brought this to the notice of the public: the 110 year old Tarnab Agricultural Research farm, set up during the British Raj near Peshawar, was meticulously organised over 200 acres by a dedicated expert from Australia. This was for the development of seeds, progressive agricultural techniques, experimentation and training. The activist says that a few days ago, 25 acres of this pristine farm were brutally chopped off and handed over to builders and traders, to build a new Expo Centre. Does The Great Khan know, and if so, why has this been allowed?
