How do I contact Geo news today for the latest travel safety update in Pakistan?
I want to know if it’s safe to travel to Pakistan right now. I’m looking at the news and seeing that there are some protests going on in Lahore, but how do I know if this will affect my trip there? I think it’s great that Pakistan’s political leaders are standing up against what they consider wrongful treatment by the United States, but how much of this will directly affect me when I visit? Do they even have an English version of Geo News? Where can I watch it online?
What does the standard political status look like
Pakistani political parties are negotiating to form a new government following Wednesday's parliamentary elections, which failed to produce a clear-cut winner. Supporters of religious cleric Fazlur Rehman said his party had won up to 91 seats and would form a coalition with the main opposition party led by former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. But the count reported by The Associated Press gave Mr. Sharif's party only 54 seats and other media reports gave it 59. So, who is right?
Negotiations have been underway among parties, but so far no deal has been reached as negotiations face resistance from rivals over several issues including appointing members of an interim cabinet.
Party leaders have until June 7 to reach a deal, and President Asif Ali Zardari may give them an extension. If no agreement is reached by June 8, he will take charge of forming a government. He has said he would give it two months to form a coalition that can run the country until new elections are held.
As we all know, major protests and chaos took place across Pakistan on May 11th 2017 after Nawaz Sharif announced that his party was going to be part of operations against terrorists based in FATA (Pakistan-Afghanistan border region). During these peaceful protests many lives were lost due to lack of basic facilities and violence perpetrated by anti-riot forces.
What does this mean for me as a tourist?
Whether you are planning a short-term or long-term trip to Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Quetta or elsewhere, here are some things you should know about traveling to Pakistan:
It is safe to travel to Pakistan if you exercise extreme caution.
Pakistan may impose a strict dress code, so women travelers should wear loose and conservative clothing and carry slippers with them as they leave their hotel rooms. Females need an unmahram (someone who is not related by blood) accompanying them at all times. In practice, this usually means that males must serve as escorts.
The government of Pakistan has declared many areas off-limits to foreigners without prior approval, so it is important to get such approval before traveling. The Foreign Ministry also requires foreign visitors to register with its local branch within 14 days of arrival. As a traveler, you should also be aware that there are many militants operating outside of Islamabad and Lahore, as well as in tribal areas near Afghanistan. There are ongoing attacks by militants on military and civilian targets throughout the country. In addition, sectarian violence has increased recently between Sunnis and Shiites.
What should i be extra careful about?
Pakistan is an increasingly dangerous place, so use a few simple precautions to keep yourself safe. Make sure you tell friends and family about your itinerary, or consider using a company that provides security, like International SOS or even my friend Lisa Vandergrift who has her own company Safety Zones. If you find yourself getting nervous in public places during prayer times or crowds, just keep walking calmly; don't get trapped inside shopping malls without means of escape. Stay alert at all times! Avoid loitering on the street where terrorist attacks are most likely to occur: You can find out from Today News in Pakistan what parts of any given city are off-limits. Be vigilant while traveling on transportation: keep to brightly lit areas and avoid unpatrolled spots late at night.
What are some things i can do to prepare before coming here?
Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help get your bearings when arriving here. Follow these tips, and hopefully you'll be on your way to an easier journey:
• Look at the map of Islamabad before coming. There is a lot to see!
• Pick up a SIM card from one of the companies like Mobilink or Telenor. You will need to provide them with identification documents such as passport and visa, but it's better than relying on Wi-Fi hotspots.
How likely is it that my trip will be affected by recent political events or unrest?
Regardless of where you are traveling to, it is always a good idea to know what is going on before hand. This will allow you to be prepared and more confident that your trip will go as planned. As of September 9th, 2022, most Westerners would not be advised to go to Pakistan as there are very high risks for terrorist activities such as kidnapping and terrorism. Recent political events, unrest, and attacks could make it difficult or even dangerous for foreigners.
It should also be noted that those who plan on travelling from within Pakistan may find themselves in danger if they are unable to secure a safe route of exit out of the country. Things could escalate quickly so travellers should plan their departure strategy with great care.

Who proposed The name of PAKISTAN?: Sir Muhammad Iqbal was a Muslim poet, philosopher and politician. He devoted his life to creating a separate nation for Indian Muslims. He wrote a book titled as THE DISSOLUTION OF India. In 1930 he presented a proposal of formation of new country (PARAMOUNT NATION) which is known as Pakistan presently but was rejected by England.
