Pakistan's first bilingual tracking app launched
KARACHI: Falcon-i, the country's largest IoT fleet management company, has launched Pakistan's first bilingual tracking app. The app offers full functionality in English and Urdu for its users, making tracking accessible and convenient for everyone. According to the details, the addition of Urdu to the app's navigational languages, alongside English, is a breakthrough in the fleet management industry, ensuring its reach and usability for users nationwide. Now, users can use live vehicle monitoring, biometric login, remote immobilization, and trip history features in their preferred language. This offers an easy solution to people who find Urdu more convenient, making the app accessible to people from diverse locations and backgrounds. The launch of this bilingual app is particularly notable in Pakistan's fleet management landscape, where fleet usage is rising in semi-urban and rural markets, but tech adoption is inconsistent due to language barriers. The app's growing user base in regions such as southern Punjab, interior Sindh, and northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa makes the inclusion of the national language, Urdu, to the app timely and necessary. Falcon-i plans to add more languages to the app in the future, facilitating use for more people looking for options in their local language. It will offer better opportunities for people who wish to use these apps but are restricted due to language barriers. Falcon-i's bilingual tracking app is integrated with AI, machine learning, and embedded insurance for efficient vehicle tracking regardless of your language preference. The dual-language experience sets a precedent for other technology providers in the country, challenging the industry norms of English-only user interfaces and encouraging the inclusion of more languages to facilitate the users. It enables the users to not only monitor their fleet nationwide and internationally, but also ensure the safety of their private-use vehicles with Falcon-i's next-gen tracking and update systems.

Chirah Dam fast-tracked for twin cities' water security
Amid rapidly growing population in Rawalpindi and Islamabad and the resulting pressure on water resources, the federal government has decided to initiate the Chirah Dam project in the Chirah region of Islamabad. The move follows directives from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, aimed at ensuring long-term water security for the twin cities. The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) has submitted a formal proposal to the Punjab Secretary of Housing for project approval. The Chirah Dam is expected to supply 28 million gallons of water per day (MGD) to the twin cities. The estimated cost of the project is approximately Rs80 billion. In parallel, two other key dam projects — Chahan Dam and Dadhocha Dam — are already under development and are slated for completion in the coming years. Originally delayed under the Capital Development Authority (CDA), the Chirah Dam project is now being fast-tracked following a recent high-level meeting chaired by the prime minister. The meeting focused on addressing the escalating water demand and the gap in current supply. In response, WASA submitted a request to engage consultants for the preparation of the project's PC-I (Planning Commission Form-I). Official sources say the Punjab Irrigation Department will oversee the construction of Chirah Dam, while WASA Rawalpindi will be responsible for establishing the surface water treatment plant and water distribution network. Upon completion, the dam will supply treated water equally to both cities — 14 MGD each. Meanwhile, the Chahan Dam Water Supply Project — currently underway with Asian Development Bank loan funding of Rs33.95b — is being executed under the Dream Project. Once operational, it will add 17 MGD to Rawalpindi's water supply. In addition, the Dadhocha Dam project is under construction by the irrigation department and will provide an extra 35 MGD to Rawalpindi. WASA Rawalpindi will manage the water purification, pipeline network, and rising main installations. For this, it has engaged Usmani & Co as the consulting firm to develop the PC-I documentation. According to WASA Managing Director Rawalpindi, Muhammad Saleem Ashraf, the combined output from Chirah, Chahan, and Dadhocha dams will result in an additional 80 MGD of water — 14 MGD for Islamabad and 66 MGD for Rawalpindi. These initiatives, coupled with existing water sources such as Khanpur Dam, Rawal Dam, and various tube wells, are expected to significantly enhance the region's water supply infrastructure and sustainably meet the long-term needs of both cities.
