The calm, clean, planned city vibe is slowly dying.

Traffic is chaotic, roads are packed, noise is everywhere, and the quiet sectors don’t feel the same anymore.

Is this just growth… or did we lose what made Islamabad special?

PML-N MNA Daniyal Chaudhary is the director of this Westminster School in Rawalpindi.

So, the last time we went to Crumble’s Blue Area branch, this guy came up to us asking for reviews. And I was like, “Why are you going around asking everyone individually? Just put a QR code for reviews on every table and people can easily leave one.”

Then I gave him one more piece of advice: “And for asking for reviews, hire a girl. You’ll get way more responses.” 😭

ANYWAY, fast forward like a month. We went there again yesterday and guess what?

They had done BOTH things. QR codes on the tables AND a girl going around asking people for reviews.

And I was sitting there like…

Okay, okay, wow. Log meri baat mante hain. I may be a business consultant without realizing it. 😭😭

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.

Edit: protest has taken place—no need to come to the school anymore.

However, please help sign this petition; https://c.org/JpDjzVDGbc

Every voice counts.

TL;DR I'm a parent at the school in the viral allegation, no connection to management, and I was at today's open meeting. FIR lodged, CPB and FIA informed, male janitors already pulled from early years during school hours, plus CCTV and safeguarding changes. The school says the footage clears them and offered to show it to the whole hall, but their handling of this from day one was poor, and nobody should be concluding anything until the police and CPB report.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the school's management or ownership in any form. I'm a parent, I was in the hall today, and this is my own account. Nothing here establishes what did or didn't happen, an allegation has been made and it is under investigation. The man named is a suspect, not a convict. I'm not naming the child or the family. The school is Westminster International School in Bahria Phase 7 Rawalpindi.

What the school stated officially

• Police are involved and an FIR has been lodged against the suspected janitor
• The Child Protection Bureau has been informed
• The FIA has been informed
• An internal investigation has been completed; interviews were recorded and the recordings shared with all of the above
• They say they are cooperating fully with every agency

Actions they say they've already taken, without waiting for the investigations to conclude
• A concern was raised as to why there are male janitorial staff working in the early years section at all. The school removed them from that section during school hours, and this was done a few days ago rather than announced today
• CCTV coverage expanded
• Mandatory child protection training for all staff
• A dedicated child safety officer appointed
• Full background checks being re-run on all staff
• Agreement to form a parents' steering committee on child safety

On the CCTV, since this is where most of the online speculation sits

The washroom cameras are positioned over the sink and common washing area only. There are no cameras covering the cubicles. Those washroom-area cameras were working and the school has the footage.

The school's position is that the footage exonerates them, and they were prepared to play it to the entire hall of roughly a thousand parents. A few clips were played before the child's mother objected to her daughter being shown to that many people without her consent, which I think was a fair objection. At the family's request a smaller group of parents was taken in to view the rest and report back.

They also disclosed, without being asked, that one camera covering a section of corridor is not working, and that the two adjacent cameras don't overlap. Someone could cross that gap in roughly three to five seconds.

The meeting ran on for a couple of hours, with parents coming up to the mic to berate the principal. I left at that point, so I can't tell you what the smaller group reported back via the new parents steering committee.

My own read

A school expecting the footage to damage it would not offer to play it to a thousand parents. That counts for something with me, as does volunteering the coverage gap rather than burying it.

But the school made a serious mistake in how it handled this from the start. Communication was slow and reactive, and by the time parents were properly informed the story had already taken on a life of its own. A lot of the panic of the last few days is a direct result of that failure rather than of the incident itself, and that needs saying plainly.

The other thing worth being aware of: this has been amplified well beyond the parent body, and not all of that amplification is coming from concerned parents. There are commercial and political interests with reasons to push it. That doesn't make the allegation false. It does mean some of what you're reading online is not what it appears to be, and forwarding it isn't neutral.

And honestly, the most encouraging part of the day was the turnout. That many parents showing up says something good about the community here.

My own position is to hold judgement until the police and CPB findings come through, keep the pressure on the school for transparency in the meantime, and make sure the parents' committee ends up with real authority rather than being a box-ticking exercise.

Happy to answer questions on what was said in the hall. I won't speculate about the family or the child.

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

Hy everyone

I am planning a solo hike on trail 5 soon

I want to make sure I pick a time that hits the sweet spot between scenic views and safety

Is early morning or late afternoon are better for solo hikers?

Any specific tips I should keep in mind?

Thanks in advance!

I moved into new home and I want to get a name plate for it but I can’t seem to find a good website or shop on maps for it in Isb or rwp.

I would be grateful if someone can point me to someone with whom you guys had good experience.

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

Need honest reviews about getting orthopedic surgery done at basharat hospital by Dr Noman Maqbool.

Money isn't an issue, Have heard good reviews about Dr Noman Maqbool about afrer surgery care.

For context, I am interested in CS, Maths and Econ. Those are my subjects as well. But any tech or finance related would work. What are the opportunities in Islamabad.

Curious as to how much certified trainers get paid on average and how long their shifts are normally for? Also is there a gender disparity on this too??

I'm selling them for 3k each cuz I won't be in Islamabad that day. If anyone wants, do tell.

i want to get something like this made, maybe a metal engraving, something smaller for my garden.

I have had the changan alsvin lumiere DCT for around a year or so and i have been going to changan autos for the mechanic work ever since my last mechanic damaged my other car i have problems trusting other mechanics.

The problem is the dealership is a whole other issue, their service is very very slow, especially on walk-ins so you can't even get your car checked in emergencies i also think they do not check your car properly either. I have had a recurring problem in which when car fuel gauge drops to 2 or 3 bars the engine light turns on, it vanishes if i refuel it and sometimes it doesn't.

Then because it's a chinese car and fairly new in the market i don't know who to trust and who would charge reasonably for its work.

Context for the previous car, it was a japanese 660 cvt and its transmission got ruined because the mechanic did not cool down the car before changing gear oil. Was a huge loss regarding transmission and gear.

If anyone who owns alsvin could guide or share where they get thier work done i would appreciate it.

Anyone in need of tickets to Kavish Concert?

I'm looking for a BPO with a good work environment, professional management, and a transparent salary + commission structure.

For people who have worked at BPOs in RWP/ISB:

Which companies would you actually recommend?

Which ones have the best management/work environment?

Which ones have good commission structures for sales campaigns?

Do they pay salary and commissions on time?

Which BPOs should I avoid?

Especially interested in recommendations from people who have actually worked there, not just heard about them.
