Good Morning! *|MERGE1|*. It’s June 24.?

Yesterday, while I was in the office, I saw the news of the blast in Johar Town, Lahore. Apparently, many people heard the blast in nearby areas. ?According to the latest news, the explosion took place near Hafiz Saeed’s residence. Three people lost their lives while dozens others were injured. This is extremely horrifying. Lahore mein kafi arsay baad dehshatgard hamla huva hai. I really hope ab sab stable rahay.

But the question is: how could someone enter a populous residential area? Is the Punjab government doing enough for our safety? ?

Also, After two years of enthralling cricket, New Zealand are the inaugural ICC World Test Championship winners! NZ defeated India in the final on Wednesday. It was such an exciting match. Simon Doull summed it up the best: “Sometimes, maybe sometimes, nice guys do finish first!”?

It’s going to be a sunny day in most cities today, and some clouds are expected in Karachi.
