A devastating fire at Gul Plaza shopping centre in Karachi claimed 72 lives, and police have now filed a chargesheet naming an 11-year-old boy as one of the accused. Authorities allege the child accidentally started the blaze while playing with matchsticks.

US Labor IG Probes H-1B Program, Calls It a Criminal Enterprise Exploiting Workers

Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito has launched an in-depth investigation into the H-1B visa program, describing it as a criminal enterprise. He argues that the program is being exploited at the expense of American workers, placing blame on the government and companies rather than visa holders themselves. The probe is part of a broader inter-agency task force aimed at uncovering interstate crimes linked to the program. Additionally, a proposed new rule could require H-1B visa holders to leave the US immediately upon losing their jobs, eliminating the existing grace period they currently enjoy.
