TWO GIRLS ABDUCTED: Armed kidnappers abducted two girls and a boy from their houses in two incidents.

In another incident, three armed people Allah Rakha, Majeed and Irfan, entered the house of Muhammad Ramzan and abducted his daughter Nadra.
LESS SPACE IN GRAVEYARD CREATING PROBLEM: The burial of dead bodies has become a problem because of less space in Ghorey Shah graveyard.
The residents of Sabri Colony, Mohallah Faizabad, Seth Colony, Hussain Colony, Government Colony, Church Road and the other areas bury their dead relatives in the graveyard Ghorey Shah. The number of graves is increasing day by day and fresh burials have become a problem owing to the less capacity of the graveyard. The grave excavators often charge more than the amount fixed by the government. Their rude behaviour is also a problem for the people as they demand extra money from them. But the district administration has done nothing in this regard.
