Ramadan has come. Happy Ramadan to everyone out there. But the looters and black-market vendors will see this month as an opportunity to loot the people. May ALLAH put them back onto the right path.

PIA pilots advised not to fly while fasting
Pilots and cabin crew of the national flag carrier have been advised against flying while fasting as it will not only risk their lives but also that of others too in the aircraft and on the ground.
A letter to all cabin crew members with instructions regarding “in-flight fasting” stating that as advised by Corporate Safety Management and the Aircrew Medical Centre, it is perceived that flying while fasting is a possibility, but in such a case the element of risk is considerable and margin of safety is minimal.
In any emergency situations with complications, wrong and delayed actions may lead to serious consequences due to impaired judgment and incapacitation. It needs no emphasis that the sanctity of fasting is undeniable. While fasting, one has to go for a change in normal routine, therefore, fasting and flying may not be confined to religious reasons as there are defined relaxations on fasting while traveling, it said.
During fasting, attention and decision-making ability decrease, reflexes begin to slow down, stamina also decreases, so after considering all the factors, it is clear that flying while fasting is not only harmful to you but that of others too, in the aircraft and on the ground.
It is therefore necessary that all cockpit/cabin crew who are observing fast are advised “not” to fly.
A spokesman for the national flag carrier said that a circular had already been issued in this regard and compliance is ensured.
According to Civil Aviation Rules (CARs) 1994 rule 41(3) no crew member shall exercise the privileges of his/her license as a crew member while fasting.

About 13 hours. I am in Toronto.
We have colder months now. So, it's easier to fast.

As Ramadan favor, Karachi traffic police say no speeding tickets near iftar time
Traffic police in Pakistan’s bustling port city of Karachi have been instructed not to issue speeding tickets to commuters during the evening rush hours ahead of the fast-breaking iftar meal, the city’s traffic police chief said on Wednesday.
Traffic volume on the main thoroughfares of Karachi, a city of over 20 million people, usually surges around 6pm in the evening until 9pm as people return to their houses from work. During Ramadan, traffic peaks between 5 p.m. and iftar time a little after 6pm as people rush home to eat after a long day of fasting.
“Traffic police have been instructed to refrain from issuing any challans [tickets] from 5pm until iftar, focusing instead on facilitating smoother traffic flow to enable timely arrivals of people for iftar,” Traffic Police Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ahmed Nawaz told Arab News.
“We face resource constraints, and engaging traffic police in challan activity would disrupt traffic flow, especially during Ramadan’s peak hours when there is severe traffic on roads and everyone is in a hurry to reach home.”
He said issuing tickets not only consumed the time of the traffic cops but also delayed commuters, adding that policemen had been instructed instead to ensure a smoother flow of traffic.
