Indonesian woman, family chase pickpockets in France, wallet recovered in one hour
PICKPOCKETS are a hazard one has to watch out for, especially when travelling in certain countries where it remains a prevalent issue in tourist areas. An Indonesian woman's bravery and determination in catching a pickpocket who stole her wallet while travelling by train in France was commended online. She was carrying €420 (RM2,075). According to Indonesian news portal, Kompas, the woman, identified as Nur Idni Anwar, also popularly known as Nunik, was in the train with her family when she came across three young women aged between 19 to 20 years old. Two of the women looked heavily pregnant. As soon as she saw the two heavily pregnant commuters, the 54-year-old asked her youngest child to give up the seat for one of them. One of the women, wearing a black shirt, took the seat while the other woman, clad in a red shirt, stood next to Nunik. 'I often watch reels about pickpockets in Europe. 'So I whispered to my husband that these girls looked like pickpockets,' she was quoted as saying. A few moments later,Nunik checked her bag and discovered that her wallet was missing. She then confronted the pregnant passenger seated in front of her about the wallet. The woman immediately denied the accusation so then, Nunik suspected the woman wearing the red shirt being the pickpocket – believing that she stole her wallet and handed it to the woman in black. The woman in black exited at the next station. Nunik and her family initially hesitated to go after them but eventually decided to also get off at the same station and split up to look for the three women. Her husband and children went to search for the pregnant women while Nunik was left with the third woman, reportedly dressed in a white shirt. The woman wearing white was said to be the decoy in the pickpocketing operation. Nunik claimed that the woman gestured toward the train, indicating that the actual pickpocket got back on the train. Nunik re-entered the train, prying open the doors which allegedly reopened. Her family rejoined her as well and the child reported seeing one of the pregnant women nearby. They exited the train again and tracked down the decoy. As soon as Nunik caught sight of the decoy, who was going up an escalator, she immediately approached her and grabbed onto her shirt. The decoy denied the theft and refused to admit her alleged complicity but Nunik refused to give up and yelled that the woman was part of a pickpocket gang which drew the attention of two other women who communicated with Nunik using Google Translate and urged the decoy to admit the alleged theft. Nunik continued yelling that her wallet was stolen. Later on, a man assisted Nunik and called the police and also spoke to the decoy who still refused to confess until after an hour, she made a phone call. After that, the pregnant woman in black returned to the station and returned Nunik's wallet. The police arrived shortly afterward and took away the pickpockets. Following the incident, she realised that €70 was missing out of the original total in her wallet but chose not to pursue her case further. Nunik asked the French police to not detain the pregnant pickpockets, considering their pregnancy.

Domestic consumers: Pakistan govt hikes gas fixed charges
ISLAMABAD: Federal government has approved increase in the fixed charges for domestic gas consumers of both gas companies (SNGPL/ SSGC) by Rs150 (protected) and Rs400 (non-protected) effective from July 1, 2025. With an average 10 percent tariff hike will applicable to the power sector, bulk consumers, and general industry (process). The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC), on Friday, approved the summary submitted by the Petroleum Division, seeking approval for a revised natural gas pricing structure for the fiscal year 2025–26. The ECC considered the proposed adjustments in energy sector tariffs and decided to maintain gas prices to protect household consumers with only fixed charges re-adjusted in domestic sector to recover the asset costs. It also allowed price of gas for bulk consumers, power plants operating on natural gas and industry to be increased by an average value of around 10 percent. SNGPL, SSGC: Weighted average price of imported RLNG cut slightly The committee approved a raise in gas tariff to bulk consumers from Rs2,900 per mmbtu to Rs3,075 per mmbtu. For power sector tariff has revised from Rs1,050 per mmbtu to Rs1,313 per mmbtu. For general industry (process) tariff was revised from Rs2,150 to Rs2,350 per mmbtu. The minimum bill for protected and non-protected consumer will be calculated at the first tariff slab of each category. Power tariff would also be stand revised for PPL's gas supply to Guddu, and Mari Energies' gas supply to Foundation Power. According to the summary submitted for consideration of ECC, it argues that only room to revise prices is available in the domestic sector slabs, wherein, a huge cross-subsidy is involved which is estimated at Rs168 billion per annum at current prices. Government is already engaged with IMF under the resilience sustainability facility to replace cross-subsidies with direct or budgeted subsides in commensuration with income levels of the domestic consumers under the BISP. As per the reform measure, the framework for replacing the cross-subsidy would be developed by June 2026 following the model being pursued by Power Division which is expected to be rolled out in 2027. Petroleum Division worked out option whereby revision in the gas tariff, as well as, fixed charge has been proposed; however, in order to lower the impact of price revision in domestic sector, the revision in bulk domestic, industry (process) and power sector, which is unchanged since February 2023, has also been approved. The revisions in gas tariff are estimated to meet Rs41 billion revenue deficit of SNGPL and it would also generate Rs31 billion surplus for SSGC which would be utilised to meet prior revenue shortfall of SSGC which are around Rs565 billion.
