Legal Amendments Challenged and Oil Prices Drop in Global Market
Today's top stories include the Sindh High Court Bar's challenge to changes in anti-terrorism and narcotics laws and the decrease in oil prices in the global market. Additionally, Kuwait's smart water meter project and news from the international entertainment world are also in focus.
The Sindh High Court Bar Association (SHCBA) has filed two constitutional petitions in the Sindh High Court. These petitions challenge the recent amendments made to the Control of Narcotic Substances (CNS) and Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) laws. The Bar Association maintains that these amendments could pose a threat to the independence of the judiciary.
A decline in crude oil prices has been observed in the global market. This decrease follows negotiations between the United States and Iran held in Switzerland. Iran states that it has secured certain concessions for oil and petrochemical exports, which has eased concerns regarding oil supply in the global market.
Work is underway on a project to install smart meters in Kuwait to improve water usage. Kuwait’s Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) has extended the deadline for submitting bids for the supply and installation of this project. The project aims to modernize and streamline the data collection system.
