      ‘Wearing underwear is a must’: Pakistani airline’s bizarre dress code for cabin crew attracts flak

      A red-faced Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) was forced to issue a clarification on Friday after the state-owned carrier received much flak for its bizarre dress code for its cabin crew, instructing them that wearing undergarments underneath the uniform was a must. On Thursday, PIA told its crew that wearing undergarments underneath the uniform was a must, saying that a lack of proper attire would leave a “poor impression” and “portrays a negative image” of the airline. Not surprisingly, the diktat was massively criticised from several quarters, terming it as “inappropriate.” The national carrier immediately withdrew the bulletin, due to the backlash it received, Geo News reported.

      he US imposed sanctions on Mumbai-based firm Tibalaji Petrochem Pvt. Ltd Friday for carrying out oil trade with Iran even as US Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said Washington will continue to “accelerate” enforcement of such punitive measures. This is the first such act of sanction against an Indian firm, and it comes within days of External Affairs Minister S.

With the latest move, Putin has proclaimed Russian rule over 15 per cent of Ukraine, a claim that has received outright rejection from Western countries.

      Russia to counter US sanctions; will make 1000 planes to rival Boeing, Airbus by 2030

      The Ukraine-Russia war has had a multi-pronged effect on the world and the nations involved. One of those effects is the significant impact on the Russian aviation industry. Because of the sanctions imposed on the nation, the imports of aircraft in the country have been significantly affected, giving birth to huge problems in the country, which rely upon tech imports. Hence, to deal with the problem, Russia is targeting the production of 1,000 airliners by 2030, based on reports by Reuters. Earlier, Russia was dependent on manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus for planes in the pre-war situation. The aircraft from these organisations were responsible for carrying out 95 percent of Russian passenger traffic, based on Reuters reports. Rostec is one of the…
