My punctuality deficit has neither decreased or increased today. It remains stable at 322 minutes. It almost seems as if time has stood still, after 72 days of punctuality practice.

Update 2057hrs:
Something very gory and irresponsible happened in Haveli, Poonch AJK about 5 hours ago. Here's the Facebook post released a few minutes earlier:
For the sake of those who do not delve into the FB post here's what I wrote:
The #PakistanArmy is in serious trouble in AJK.
About 5 hours ago it is reported that a Pakistani Army truck travelling through #Haveli #Poonch #AJK crushed a local - Zahid Badar Qureshi - to death before fleeing from the scene.
The public is in uproar and the local administration has yet to engage.
Urdu report on matter:
پاکستان آرمی کا ٹرک
ذاہد بدر قریشی کو روند کر چلا گیا۔
ذاہد بدر قریشی کا

Update at 2317hrs:

Their chants:
Qaatil Qaatil! (Murderers Murderers!)
Fauj Qaatil! (Army Murderers) with obvious reference to the Pakistani army
..then
Ye jo dehshat gardi hay (This terrorism)
Is ke peechay wardi hay (has a uniform behind it) with obvious reference to the Pakistani army's uniform
..then
Ye jo maara maari hay (These killings and mayhem)
Is ke peechay wardi hay (have a uniform behind it) with obvious reference to the Pakistani army's uniform
..then
Zaalimo jawaab do (Answer us oh oppressors)
Khoon ka hisaab do (give an account of the blood) you have spilled
..
