About Akbaat News

Akbaat News is a hyperlocal news and information platform for Kasur District, Punjab. We publish news, a business directory and practical information for people who live and work in Kasur — in Urdu and English, on the same page.

What we cover

Kasur city and the wider district, including Pattoki, Chunian, Kot Radha Kishan, Phoolnagar, Mustafabad and Khudian. Local government and administration, crime and courts, health and education, utilities, weather, business and civic life.

We are deliberately local. National and international stories appear only where they change something in Kasur.

Bilingual by default

Most of Kasur reads Urdu; a lot of search, syndication and younger readership works in English. Rather than publish a story twice and split it in two, each article lives at one address with a language toggle. Same story, same URL, your choice of language.

How we work

Some of our reporting follows up on stories first published by other outlets. Where that is the case, the source is named and linked at the bottom of the article. We write our own copy — we do not republish another publication's text.

Where a draft has been prepared with AI assistance, the article is flagged as such in our records and is reviewed by a person before it is published. Read our editorial policy for how we handle sourcing, corrections and attribution.

The directory

Our business directory brings together listings for Kasur from OpenStreetMap, public records and other local directories, plus businesses that submit themselves. Listings we have not independently checked are shown as unverified, and many contact details come from older sources — call ahead before relying on them.

Own a business in Kasur? Add it to the directory — it is free, and it goes live once our team has reviewed it.
