Court filings in a New Mexico case have revealed that senior Meta executives raised serious internal concerns over the company’s plan to introduce end-to-end encryption on Facebook Messenger and Instagram. According to internal messages from 2019, Meta’s then head of content policy warned that the move would significantly reduce the company’s ability to detect and report child exploitation cases to law enforcement. Despite these warnings, the plan moved forward and is now central to a lawsuit accusing Meta of misrepresenting user safety risks.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has suffered its third loss of a HAL Tejas light combat aircraft this month, with the pilot ejecting safely as the jet sustained severe damage during landing, Indian media reported. Initial accounts suggest a possible technical glitch or brake failure after touchdown, leading to a runway overrun. The aircraft may be written off due to the extent of the damage. Following the incident, the IAF has grounded its fleet of around 30 single-seat Tejas jets to conduct detailed technical inspections and a safety probe. The previous losses include a March 2024 crash near Jaisalmer, where the pilot ejected safely, and a fatal November 2025 accident at the Dubai Airshow. These incidents come amid delays in the Tejas Mk1A program, which is nearly two years behind schedule despite a recent order for 180 fighters, including a new contract signed in September 2025 worth INR 623.7 billion for 97 Mk1A jets.

Kamil Khan has announced that he is stepping away from his role with Sialkot Stallionz only a month before the start of PSL 11. In a statement shared on social media, he said he joined the franchise leadership out of his passion for Pakistan cricket and had been handling the cricketing side of the project. During his time with the team, he claimed several early developments, including signing Australian star Steve Smith, bringing in former Australia captain Tim Paine, and securing a commercial partnership with New Balance. However, Khan said certain internal management decisions led him to step away. Reports from PSL sources suggest that a new investor group has agreed in principle to acquire more than 90 percent of the franchise shares, which would shift administrative control away from OZ Group after concerns about financial commitments.

The mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has announced a temporary shutdown of the city’s traffic network as a major snowstorm approaches the northeastern United States. The restrictions began at 9pm Sunday and are expected to remain in place until noon Monday. Under the emergency order, streets, highways and bridges across the city are closed to regular traffic, including cars, trucks, scooters and e-bikes. Officials said the measure is aimed at keeping residents safe and allowing emergency services to operate without obstruction. Essential workers and people facing urgent situations are exempt from the ban. Authorities also warned residents to avoid unnecessary travel as the rapidly developing storm could bring more than a foot of snow to the region, marking one of the most serious winter weather threats the city has faced in nearly a decade.

The Indian aviation industry faces mounting challenges as Bangladesh barred SpiceJet from using its airspace due to unpaid dues. Flights from Kolkata to northeastern cities like Guwahati and Imphal are now taking longer alternate routes, increasing flight duration and fuel consumption, raising operational costs for the airline.

SpiceJet has been experiencing financial difficulties for months, with a reported loss of Rs 269.27 crore in the quarter ending December 2025. Analysts suggest that the situation reflects broader diplomatic tensions between India and Bangladesh, turning into a significant operational and political dispute.

A child miraculously survived after falling into an open nullah near Rehmat Chowk in Orangi Town, right outside the office of UC 7 Chairman Syed Imran Shah (PPP). Residents report that the nullah has remained uncovered for over a year and a half despite repeated complaints. Witnesses said the boy fell into the damaged section but managed to climb out with help from a friend, drawing attention from nearby residents.

Local community members warn that the exposed drain poses a serious risk of accidents. This is not the first incident of its kind in the city; on December 29, 2025, an eight-year-old boy died after falling into an uncovered manhole in Korangi’s Mehran Town. Last year, 14 children lost their lives falling into open manholes, and 13 more died due to uncovered drains across Karachi, highlighting serious administrative failures.

Punjab government’s airline is set to begin operations in April with seven passenger aircraft in its initial fleet, while Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif will travel on regular Punjab Airlines flights instead of using a separate special aircraft.

The Punjab government’s airline is expected to start operations in April, sources told state-run media on Thursday, adding that seven passenger planes have initially been acquired for Punjab Airlines.
According to sources, the airline will operate domestic flights only for the first two years. International operations are planned to begin in the second phase, two years after the start of domestic services.
Sources further stated that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s existing helicopter will be included as the first asset of Punjab Airlines. After the airline becomes operational, the chief minister will travel on Punjab Airlines aircraft, and no separate special plane will be purchased for her.

All provincial ministers and officials will also use the airline for travel. Officials said a strategy is being devised to ensure that the establishment of Punjab Airlines does not place an additional financial burden on the provincial treasury.

The government plans to use both existing and newly acquired aircraft entirely for profit. When the chief minister travels on Punjab Airlines, the full fare will be paid, sources added.
