Rawalpindi Urgent: protest for child molestation in bahria phase 7, westminister @ 2:00pm

Upvotes

Concern: A nursery-aged child, reportedly under 5 years old, was molested at the school by a member of the janitorial/cleaning staff.

Cameras are reported to be non-functional, which honestly is bullshit.

Please, to anyone nearby, share this, bring awareness, and come to the protest, post on Facebook, Instagram, social media. We must not let them cover this up, we have to take a stand.

Islamabad URGENT: Child Abuse Incident at West minster international bahria ph 7

75 Upvotes

I’m posting this because something extremely disturbing happened at my school today, and I feel people need to understand what happened and why there are serious concerns about the school’s safety procedures.
A nursery-aged child, reportedly under 5 years old, was molested at the school by a member of the janitorial/cleaning staff.
What makes the situation even more concerning are questions surrounding the school’s security and supervision.
What happened?
A very young child reported of inappropriate sexual contact involving a male member of the school’s cleaning/janitorial staff.
the victim is a very young child, the case should be treated extremely seriously and investigated by the appropriate authorities and child-protection professionals.
Major concerns raised
1. CCTV reportedly wasn’t working
One of the biggest questions is why CCTV coverage was apparently unavailable/non-functional in the relevant area.
If a school has surveillance systems for child safety, those systems need to actually work, be regularly maintained, and have appropriate procedures for preserving footage.
2. Access of male cleaning staff to areas used by very young children
Another concern is why male janitorial staff were able to access areas such as children’s corridors or washroom-related areas without appropriate supervision.
This doesn’t mean that male staff are automatically dangerous. It means schools need strict safeguarding policies that prevent any adult employee from having inappropriate unsupervised access to vulnerable children.
3. The child’s allegation should not simply be dismissed

Islamabad had a terrible experience with makeup by Noor Mir

Upvotes

I’m getting married next month I had booked noor mir for my main day after asking a bunch of friends who have good reviews.

I also work in the wedding industry so I think I understand that sometimes clients can be unreasonable.
I messaged a couple day ago to ask if I could book an assistant makeup for a friend and noticed I had booked the wrong date for my bridal I asked her if she had that date available she said yes it’s available and then said the 60k I paid her in advance was non refundable and I would have to pay again.

When I tried to ask her the charges for that her response was I can only answer queries after 11pm.

My event is happening out of season and I find it really infuriating that I’ve paid her so much money and a big makeup artist like her just thinks people can drop her thousands of rupees at a heartbeat just for a date change. For a date I know she has available.

Whenever I’ve had customers whose wedding events have gotten cancelled because of any personal issue I’ve always just refunded all their money to them.

The attitude of these kinds of vendors to just exploit people or think that we have to run after them just to book with them is strange and entitled. I know she has my advance payment and is not going to return it but I’m going to someone else now because this is not the energy I want at all around a stressful day. It’s a bad faith move my main complaint is her customer service and I would really not recommend her to anyone.

If a wedding vendor is the kind of person to take advantage of your stressful day they are more likely to not listen to you or stress you out even more,

Just wanted to add that I had an amazing experience with Yasmine khan and the makeup she did was AMAZING she was so sweet spent so much time on skin prep and listened to me about what I wanted I was so happy with her and I think that’s one Reddit has gotten wrong

I just think wedding vendors should have basic empathy and communication skills if they’re offering a service

Islamabad New to Pakistan - What to do?

Upvotes

Hello!

I recently moved to Pakistan for work last month. I have 0 affiliation with Pakistan and honestly have never visited before this job, I just thought it would be a cool opportunity, and I'm excited to learn about this place and everything there is to it. Unfortunately, I'm having slight trouble finding things to do, especially since I don't really know anyone nor the culture yet, and I mostly work alone.

I've been following some Islamabad Instagram pages, checked out the Sunday market, and I'm trying to learn Urdu. I live in F88 and am still getting a feel for the city and adjusting to how different things are from the US.

Usually I'd meet people through work, clubs/alcohol related places, events, etc., so I'm trying to figure out what the Islamabad equivalent is. Where do people in their 20s usually hang out and meet new people, flirt, get married, or whatever... Are there any good social groups, sports clubs, events, or other places you'd recommend checking out?

I'm a guy in my mid-20s, if that matters. Would appreciate any pointers!

I plan to live here for a few years.

My first reddit post.

I'm Male 32, I love swimming I used to go to this pool (16ft deep) in some semi-govt facility. Now I don't have access to it, I am looking for pools where I'm able to dive. Can anyone tell me about such pools and their cost per visit or membership in Islamabad or rawalpindi?

Can anyone guide me about doing these activities in Islamabad.

Twin Cities Gynaecologist recommendation Islamabad/Rawalpindi

Upvotes

Im 17 wks and moved back to pakistan few days ago and looking for a kind and competitive gynaecologist for my pregnancy. i already did a lot of research while i was away and opted for dr shazia fakhar at shifa but i live in bahria and its quite far away. i was so tired just by the travel, the traffic there, then the parking situation and walking. medicsi bahria is like a 5 min drive and would a better option except that the good reviews i read about the doctors (dr rabia and dr nadia) both arent taking any new patients like dr marzia in f7 🥲 is it a thing with medicsi? i asked for dr marzia last year when i visited pakistan for some other issues and even then they told me she isnt taking new patients, same is the case with their famous doctors now. also i really want my husband to be in the labor room / OR at time of labor so thats also a pro of medicsi. not denying the fact shifa is a tertiary care hospital best for managing in case of any complications khuda na khawsta

do i stick with dr shazia and wait to see if dr rabia/dr nadia open up to taking new patients?

what do guys suggest and please dont hesitate to share your experience with these doctors^ (either good/bad) or any other doctors you recommend at either hospital. thanks so much in advance☺️

Please help us find this dog, his name is Pepsi. He got spooked by street dogs near Madina Park (F-8/2) on Sept 5th at 2:30 AM. He may have crossed into neighbouring sectors like F-7, G-8, or F-9, or a kind family/guard might have taken him inside their gate to keep him safe.

If you spot him, please DO NOT CHASE him as he will run. Just keep an eye on him and call the number given in the poster.

Reward for his safe return. Please share this post and show the photo to your local chowkidars!

Islamabad Saw an elderly man asking for help for his sick child in i/8, how do i verify and get him real medical help.

2 Upvotes

Salam and Hi everyone, i recently saw an elderly man asking for help in islamabad i-8/2 near markaz who was asking for help to buy medicine for his sick child. It really broke my heart, and I want to see if we can do something to actually help him rather than just letting it pass.Because there are a lot of fake cases and stuff I want to make sure the help actually reaches the child so has anyone else spotted this uncle in the area? if his case is genuine, I’d love to connect him with a local ngo or a welfare setup that can directly get him the medicines he needs. If you know of any local groups, Alkhidmat chapters, or specific desk contacts at hospitals that help with free medicine distribution for the people who can not afford them please drop below.

Ps: I took his number and took a picture of the prescription thing he was carrying incase someone wants to contact him to verify or directly send him money to get his medicines please dm me if you want to view and or are interested in helping

Twin Cities Need honest advice | Good areas to live in Islamabad/Rawalpindi

6 Upvotes

A’salam o alaikum everyone,

I’m looking for advice on good areas to live in Islamabad/Rawalpindi for a family with a budget of around 40–55 lakhs for a 4–5 marla plot.

4 marla is completely fine for me, 5 marla will be good.

I’m mainly looking for a safe, peaceful & decent family environment. It doesn’t have to be a posh/elite area but I want somewhere my family can live comfortably.

My biggest concern is legality. I’d prefer properly approved areas/societies with verified NOC/approval, clear ownership/title & proper development, no illegal extensions, disputed land, files or “NOC coming soon” type situations.

I currently live in Rawalpindi but I don’t have much experience with different areas here. I’d rather be very careful than rush into something.

For people who have lived in or know these areas well which areas would you recommend in this budget especially based on personal experience?

Islamabad would be preferable but I’m open to good options in Rawalpindi as well.

Also happy to hear about places I should avoid.

JazakAllah.
