Heat, power cuts risk Eid meat storage
Deep freezers bought by customers for keeping sacrificial meat are piled up outside the showrooms at Regal Chowk for delivery. Photo: Jalal Qureshi/express Intense heat and prolonged load-shedding during Eidul Azha have made preserving sacrificial meat a serious concern. Health experts advise drying washed meat thoroughly, cutting it into small portions, and storing it in airtight containers or polythene bags before freezing. Dr Hilar Sheikh of Jinnah Hospital told Express News that improper drying or delayed freezing can lead to spoilage. He warned against using regular plastic bags, which fail to block freezer gases, causing toxins to form. Repeated freezing and thawing may also cause food poisoning or hepatitis E. In case of outages, storing meat in ice-packed steel or thermocol boxes is advised. Early distribution to the needy is encouraged to avoid waste.

India's false thunder fizzles in face of reality
Trailers roll steadily towards Karachi Port, loading and unloading export cargo with clockwork precision - a scene of normalcy that flies in the face of Indian media's fictional narrative of destruction. As crowds gather at bustling food streets and night traffic paints the city in motion, the so-called "bombed" city proves it's very much alive. PHOTO: Jalal Qureshi/express If one were to believe the shrill drumbeats echoing from Indian newsrooms, Karachi — a vibrant metropolis of over 30 million — would have been reduced to nothing but rubble. But just like all other lies, deceit and shenanigans that originate across the border, this too has been unmasked as fiction, not fact. Indian media's hollow cries of an "attack on Karachi" are yet another chapter in a tired playbook of fearmongering, spun not for truth, but for optics. Yet, Karachi stands tall — unbroken, undisturbed, and unimpressed. The Express Tribune has investigated the Indian media's false propaganda about an attack on Karachi and has brought to light the real situation in the city. Amid breathless Indian media reports claiming devastation and emergency in Karachi following a supposed attack, the facts on the ground tell a very different story — one of calm, continuity, and resilience. The only thing under siege was the truth itself, as Indian anchors peddled panic from behind studio desks, far removed from the ground reality. Business districts are buzzing, streets are jammed with everyday hustle, and commercial life pulses unimpeded across the metropolis. From Keamari to Korangi, Machar Colony to Malir, no trace of disruption can be found. Public transport runs routinely, cargo flows unhalted, and the city's famously tireless populace continues its daily rhythm — entirely unaffected by foreign fiction. In a striking twist, even the traffic jams once cursed by commuters were now seen as a welcome sign of peace — proof that life in the city marches on, loud and proud. Many voices from across Karachi have condemned what they call India's media warfare, aimed at pacifying its domestic audience with tales of manufactured triumph. "This is nothing more than psychological warfare," said Patron-in-Chief of the Karachi Traders Alliance Khawaja Jamal Sethi. "Karachi is open. Our markets, our petrol pumps, our lives - all are operating as normal. India is waging a war of words because it cannot win a war of truth." President of the Pakistan Goods Transport Alliance Malik Shehzad Awan confirmed that no disruption had occurred in cargo or commuter movement. "India is spinning tales, but the world can see that Karachi neither sleeps nor is scared." Echoing the sentiment, senior political analyst Zia Abbas pointedly remarked, "Modi's government has suffered military, moral, and diplomatic defeats. Now they are clutching at the straws of media warfare, but Pakistan sees through the façade — and so does the world." From minority leaders like Naveed Bhatti, who reaffirmed that the city's diverse communities feel safe and stand united, to humanitarian workers like Chhipa's Chaudhry Shahid Hussain, who called Indian claims "utter fabrications". Sindh's Minister for Local Government, Saeed Ghani, summed it up as "there is no emergency, no attack, and no disruption. This is Indian propaganda at its worst — and it has failed. Citizens from all religions and communities in the city are united."

Nepali, Turkish accessories high on Eid shopping list
Women select accessories at a market in the city for the upcoming festive occasion of Eidul Fitr. Photo: Jalal Qureshi/express The dress designs from 60s and 70s are all the rage in the Eid preparations these days, with retro fashion fad, there has been a boom in the demand for antique and oxidised artificial jewellery designs. The artificial jewellery in the markets of the metro are stacked to the roof with glittering post-millennial designs as well as huge earrings, pendants and bracelets that ring of hippie era. Be it big jhomkas of Rajasthani design or the articulate Turkish earring with a glint of west, customers have their pick to match the mood and the dress. During market surveys by The Express Tribune, women said wearing gold was now only limited to weddings, they prefer artificial jewellery to accessorise per the prevailing fashion. And this year, the accessories have to match short shirts and farshi shalwars. Meanwhile, shopkeepers claim that social media and drama serials have increased the demand for antique and oxidised jewellery. Women's jewellery trends change with time, with recent years seeing oxidised and antique jewellery make a prominent place in the fashion industry. Oxidised jewellery has a special allure due to its dull shine and unique design depicting a combination of traditional and modern fashion. Antique design jewellery takes inspiration from the royal jewellery of the old era. The demand for these styles has evidently increased in the major markets of Karachi, and they are also being purchased through online shopping forums that provide high-quality artificial pieces at low prices. These artificial pieces are lightweight for everyday use, as well as light on the pocket, increasing their popularity among women. Vendors in Zainab Market claim the trend of antique and oxidised jewellery will increase with time, as the younger generation is particularly interested in these unique and traditional designs. Rajasthani, Afghani, Nepali, Mughal and Classical jewellery styles are particularly famous for their deep colors, delicate craftsmanship and unique designs, aiding women in their consideration of antique and oxidised jewellery as the best choice for Eid. Rajasthani bangles are being sold at prices ranging from Rs500 to Rs1,000, while Turkish bracelets are available for Rs1,000. Nepali bracelets, on the other hand, are available for prices between Rs200 and Rs1,000. Rajasthani, Nepali, and Afghani earrings are being sold from Rs200 to Rs1,000 while German necklaces are priced between Rs500 to Rs2,000.
