GILGIT: For some, playing a friendly football match on the frozen surface of a 70-feet deep lake in bitter cold was more adventurous than scaling the K2, the second highest peak after Mount Everest.

A match was organised on the frozen Khalti Lake in Ghizer Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan with G-B’s Minister for Education Ali Madad Sher attending as the chief guest. It lasted for 30 minutes and was played between Ghizer-11 and Minister-11, which the former won 4-3.

PESHAWAR: A staunch opponent of the Taliban, founding member and ex-commander of the Adezai Peace Militia, Dilawar Khan, 46, was laid to rest in his ancestral graveyard in Adezai on Friday. Dilawar was admitted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH) six days ago with a respiratory illness and was in the intensive care unit (ICU) since.

Farman Khan told The Express Tribune his brother breathed his last in the hospital Thursday night. “He is no more. We have lost him,” he said. Dilawar was also the vice-president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s Peshawar chapter. He is survived by a widow and six children.

granite hills of Karoonjhar Nagarparkar, sindh

This the only hill in the district near Nagarparkar on the northern edge of the Rann of Kutch. It consists of granite rocks, (probably an outlying mass of the crystalline rocks of the Aravalli range. The Aravalli series belongs to Archaen system which constitutes the oldest rocks of the Earth's crust) and Chinese clay. This is a small area quite different from the desert. The tract is flat and level except close to Nagarparkar itself. The principal range, Karunjhir,is approximately 19 km in length and attains a height of 305 m. Smaller hills rise in the east, which are covered with sparse jungle and pasturage and give rise to two perennial springs named Achleshwar and Sardharo as well as temporary streams called Bhetiani and Gordhro, after the rains. Karoonjhar Dam is being constructed to supply water to people of Nagarparkar area.

Salt Desert, Great Rann of Kutch

The Great Rann of Kutch, is a seasonal salt marsh located in the Thar Desert in the Kutch District of Gujarat, India and the Sindh province of Pakistan. North part of Kutch is the Great Rann - it has many moods and appearances which change from dawn to dusk. Salt crystals dazzle like millions of diamonds under the scraching sun. Its still vastness is eerie under the bluish glow of the full moon and the best time to view it is in full moon. During a thunderstorm at night it flashes brilliantly. Rann has vast area about 4000 kms. The name "Rann" comes from the Hindi word ran (र&#2339 meaning "desert".

My bad luck just one day before my visit to this place it rained and so that's why you can see patches of mud in between else its only pure white during this time.
