RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir has stressed the significance of joint civil-military efforts in addressing the challenges faced by the people, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday.
“Field Marshal highlighted the need for good governance, infrastructure development, and the importance of inclusive, people-centric progress,” the military’s media wing said while reflecting on the army chief’s visit aimed at aimed at reviewing the security situation, assessing development initiatives, and reinforcing coordination between military and civil institutions in the province.
The military’s media wing said that besides a comprehensive brief on the security dynamics, including threat perspective and successful operations against Fitna al Hindustan, the army chief was also apprised on the ongoing development projects, and efforts to enhance socio-economic conditions in southern Balochistan.
During interaction with Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti and representatives of the civil administration, the Field Marshal highlighted the need for good governance, infrastructure development, and the importance of inclusive, people-centric progress.
Reaffirming unwavering support for all initiatives aimed at improving the socio-economic development in the province, the COAS “reiterated the Pakistan Army’s resolve to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Balochistan in their pursuit of peace, prosperity, and sustainable development”.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday, January 17, that he’s going to sue JPMorgan Chase within the “next two weeks.”
This move escalates a long-running feud with the nation’s largest bank over the closure of his accounts following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump accused the bank of “incorrectly and inappropriately debanking” him.
Earlier, he claimed that the bank gave him just 20 days to move hundreds of millions of dollars under pressure from the Biden administration.
Countering this narrative, JP Morgan has consistently denied all such accusations.
With this lawsuit, there’s a major deterioration in the U.S. President’s relationship with the bank and its CEO, Jamie Dimon.
During the 2024 campaign, Dimon was floated as a potential Treasury secretary pick, but tensions have since soared.
The president has repeatedly lashed out at Dimon for criticising the Justice Department’s criminal probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and for opposing Trump’s proposal to cap credit-card interest rates.
Trump also denied a Wall Street Journal report that had offered Dimon the position of Fed chair, writing: “This statement is totally untrue; there was never such an offer.”
Bloomberg earlier this week asked Dimon if he would take the role to which Dimon responded: “Absolutely, positively no chance, no way, no how, for any reason.”
The planned suit is similar to one the Trump Organisation filed against Capital One earlier in 2025, alleging improper account restrictions.
The planned suit against JPMorgan follows a similar legal action the Trump Organisation filed against Capital One earlier in 2025, alleging improper account restrictions. The president’s move reinforces his broader narrative that financial institutions have systematically “debanked” him and his supporters for political reasons since he left office.
Hailee Steinfeld stays tuned in to Josh Allen’s NFL performances despite her demanding schedule, and she gave an insight into her routine in the ongoing season in her latest newsletter.
The 29-year-old actress is expecting her first baby with the Buffalo Bills quarterback and could not attend all the games, but she was sure not to miss watching any on television.
The Sinners star recently attended the Golden Globes, which clashed with Allen’s playoffs at the same time, but Steinfeld wrote in her Beau Society newsletter that she was “a little (lot) distracted.”
The Dickinson actress explained, “My glam team is incredible at what they do and worked around my constant movement. Andrew [Fitzsimons, my hairstylist] warned me every time an iron was close to my face, so I didn’t accidentally burn myself.”
The mom-to-be continued to praise her makeup team, who utilised the ad breaks to finish off her nails and makeup.
Steinfeld concluded her newsletter with more grateful reflections, as she discussed becoming a “softer, stronger” version of herself in her 29th year, and embraces the upcoming chapter of parenthood in her life.
