Several artificial intelligence chatbots — including OpenAI’s ChatGPT , Google’s Gemini , and Elon Musk’s Grok — have successfully established themselves in the market. The data scrapers of these AI companies collect data from millions of websites without permission and without payment , feeding it into their algorithms so they can instantly provide users with the information they seek. This activity by AI chatbots developed by major tech companies has shaken the economy of online websites. Before the rise of AI chatbots, websites allowed search engines like Google or Bing to access their content so that they could gain more traffic and earn revenue through advertisements. But the rapid development of generative AI has enabled companies like Google Gemini and OpenAI ChatGPT to provide information to users directly on their own pages — in their own words , instead of sending users to the original website. They do this using their web crawlers , which visit millions of websites p...

CHICHAWATNI – More than seven months after the brutal killing of an MPhil student near Adda Kassowal, the primary suspects remain evading arrest, despite a high-profile investigation that has already led to the demotion of a local police official. The victim, Atteqa Mazhar , was shot dead inside her home in Village 1-14L on the night of August 14, 2025. Investigations reveal the attack was carried out by her cousin, Ali Raza (also known as Muddasir), and five accomplices after Atteqa reportedly rejected a marriage proposal.

Under intense pressure from the local community and influential figures, the victim's parents were allegedly coerced into declaring the murder a suicide. The cover-up extended to the local precinct. Following a departmental inquiry, Zeeshan Bashir , the then-SHO of Kassowal Police Station, was removed from his post and demoted from Sub-I...

SAHIWAL: A decade after the 1,320-megawatt Sahiwal Coal Power Plant was hailed as a beacon of progress, a new research report by Zahra Naeem and Hussain Asad in Dawn paints a harrowing picture of what locals call a "second 1947." What was promised as a catalyst for prosperity in Punjab’s fertile heartland has instead become a symbol of environmental ruin and broken trust. The Anatomy of Displacement The report details a "calculated strategy" used during land acquisition in 2014. Authorities bypassed traditional family structures, issuing compensation checks to individual heirs and women to fracture collective resistance. Farmers like Muhammad Siddiq testify that they were forced to sell their ancestral lands at PKR 2 million per acre—far below market rates—only to be met with police raids if they resisted. An Ecological and Health Crisis The "fruit basket" of Punjab is withering under the weight of 3,000 kg of daily coal ash . The findings are s...
