uae

Karachi: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Monday denied reports of not providing visas to Pakistani citizens belonging to certain cities and termed it as fake news, reported Geo News.
Bakheet Ateeq Al Remeithi, consulate general of the UAE in Karachi said that the UAE government has not imposed any such ban. “Reports were being circulated that the gulf country is not allowing visas to citizens from some of the Pakistani cities including Abbottabad, Attock, Bajaur Agency, Chakwal, Dera Ghazi Khan, Dera Ismail Khan, Hangu, Hunza, Quetta, Kasur, Kohat, Kotli, Khushab, Khurrum Agency, Larkana, Mohmand Agency, Muzaffargarh, Nawabshah, Parachinar, Sahiwal, Sargodha, Sheikhupura, Skardu and Sukkur,” according to Geo News.
People belonging to the above-mentioned cities were warned not to apply for visas. “Your visa will be rejected and the fee is non-refundable,” reports read.
Remeithi while expressing his regret over the reports said that Pakistani citizens are being provided visas and they can apply to visit the UAE.
“He told that apart from the consulates in Islamabad and Lahore, he is personally issuing visas to the citizens born or residing in these cities, from the Karachi consulate,” reported Geo News.
According to Remeithi, rumours like these are spread from time to time.
Recently, a proposal to ban Schengen visas for Russia was put forward to the European Union for discussion, official spokesman of the German Cabinet Steffen Hebestreit said, adding that Berlin took note of that.
“It was put forward by certain countries in the EU and is thereby on the agenda. The German government should now discuss it among Cabinet members and inside the EU. These discussions are not completed and therefore I cannot tell you about interim results,” Hebestreit said during a media briefing, as per TASS news agency.

“I request you to have patience,” the spokesman said, adding that “The German government took note of such proposal at the EU level.”
The United States also recently introduced visa restrictions on 28 Cuban officials, including Cuban government employees and high-ranking members of the Cuban Communist Party, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
The 28 officials included officials involved in the alleged crackdown on the protests of July 11, 2021. Among them were high-ranking members of the Cuban Communist Party responsible for defining policy at the national and provincial levels.

Mother Dairy to raise milk price by Rs 2 from Tuesday; fifth hike in 2022

New Delhi: Mother Dairy will raise the price of its full cream milk offerings from Rs 64 per litre to Rs 66 per litre in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).
The revised price point, announced on Monday, will come into effect from Tuesday. However, there would be no revision in the retail price of cow milk and token milk variants.
This is the fifth upward revision in milk prices, an essential food item, in 2022. The earlier revisions were done in March, August, October, and November.
“It is an unprecedented year for the dairy industry. We have been witnessing a significant increase in demand of milk and milk products from both consumers and institutions, even after festivals. On the other hand, procurement of raw milk has also not picked up after Diwali as was anticipated. The procurement prices of raw milk have gone up by about 24 per cent over last year due to higher input costs, heatwave conditions, etc,” read a statement from a Mother Dairy spokesperson.

“This stress on raw milk prices is being felt across the industry, putting pressure on consumer prices. In our commitment to continue paying remunerative prices to farmers to ease the impact, we are severely constrained to revise consumer prices of select variants of milk in Delhi NCR, effective from December 27, 2022. As a responsible organisation, we have always endeavoured to strike the right balance between farmers and consumers. Therefore, we have been passing the increased input cost to our consumers partially on select variants/SKUs and in a phased manner,” the spokesperson said.
