The quality of ghee cans in 1960s was so good that they were converted into water buckets or utensils, cans or jars for kitchen storage as well as storage of commodities in shops. And they lasted years and decades.

Dr Tariq Rahim Soomro found this old container of Dalda ghee at his village Dehat - interestingly it says Dalda Vanaspati in English and Bangla, indicating that it is from pre-Bangladesh secession era of 1960s.

Pakistan and Bangladesh have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen bilateral cooperation against drug trafficking and narcotics abuse, the Ministry of Interior said on Saturday.

The development came during Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s visit to Dhaka, where he met his Bangladeshi counterpart Salahuddin Ahmed, according to the ministry.

It said that Naqvi and Ahmed signed the MoU on behalf of their respective governments, adding that both also agreed to set up a secretary-level joint working group between their ministries.

Under the MoU, both countries will fully cooperate to prevent the illegal transportation and smuggling of narcotics, while joint efforts will be made to “curb the growing trend of drug abuse and eliminate its negative impacts”, the ministry said.

It was also agreed that a joint strategy will be formulated to dismantle narcotics sale and supply networks. The relevant agencies of both countries will exchange timely intelligence and information regarding drug traffickers and trafficking networks, the interior ministry said.

According to the ministry, Naqvi also offered full cooperation to his Bangladeshi counterpart regarding the Safe City project.
