Pakistan Day Fireworks in Lahore Minar e Pakistan

23rd March , Pakistan Resolution Day 2017 was observed this year with high spirits and emotions. As Pakistan faces threats from enemies and at the same time trying very hard to progress in various fields, the Pakistani's are well united then ever before.

To salute the ocassion celebrations were carried out in different parts of the country but as the resolution was presented back on 23rd March, 1940 in Lahore at Minar e Pakistan, the place holds a special place in our history.

The day is celebrated in the memory to commemorate the event when the Muslim League adopted the Pakistan resolution at the Minar-e-Pakistan (lit. Pakistan Tower) that called for establishing an independent federation comprising provinces with Muslim majority located in north-western and north-eastern region of British controlled territories in India (excluding autonomous princely States) on 23 March 1940. This is also considered as the foundation stone òf Pakistan. the foundation stone , the resolution quoted as

No constitutional plan would be workable or acceptable to the Muslims unless geographical contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be so constituted with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary. That the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in majority as in the North-Western and Eastern zones of India should be grouped to constitute independent states in which the constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign.

Rain or Shine,
Proud homeowners can keep their home in pristine condition with Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx

The quality paint that offers superior rain resistance and guards against hairline cracks

(Pakistan), March, 2017 – After working tirelessly to provide a beautiful home for your loved ones, the last thing you would want is for elements of nature to taint the fruit of your achievement.

But now, all proud homeowners have nothing to worry about. With the new Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx, keeping the sheen and luster on the walls of your beloved home is made easy.

Act Fast to Protect Your Home
The threats are real - this coming season (May onwards), your beloved dwelling is likely to be subjected to extreme weather changes: searing temperatures of up to 45 degree Celsius one day, torrential rain on another.

According to weather monitoring systems, the average rainfall in Pakistan is almost 1,133,100 litre per year.  This means the average Pakistan home withstands more than two million litres of pouring rain over the years. When coupled with thousands of hours of scorching sun, and dirt and dust, this will damage your home, making it look old, weathered and dirty.


Hairline Cracks On Walls
Extreme weather changes and natural ground movement cause hairline cracks on walls.  Many of these cracks are in parts of the wall that you do not normally see, and some are not visible to the eye. However, there is no telling how deep or shallow these cracks are. Rain and moisture, can easily seep into these cracks and cause damage.

And just like the tip of an ice berg, it is hard to tell how extensive this damage can be. Furthermore, these hairline cracks destroy the appearance of your walls prematurely.  The solution? Protect them with the new Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx.  It shields your home against the damage, but also keeps your house in pristine condition even after years.

Rain-proof and Crack-proof
Thanks to the Powerflexx technology, the Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx paint is three times more stretchable than any other standard premium exterior paint, enabling it to effectively and thoroughly cover hairline cracks.

This ensures that rainwater does not seep through those tiny cracks on your walls, freeing you from water-damage worry.

All-Round Protection in a Can
The Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx stays clean longer by resisting dirt and stains. Formulated with special pigments, the premium paint reflects UV rays, keeping the heat out of your home and your electricity bill lower.

It also guards against peeling, alkali, fungus and algae and retains its sheen better due to the colour lock technology.

Like all Dulux paints, the Singapore Green Label certified Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx is low on odour and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and contains no added mercury or lead.




“As homeowners, we have the responsibility to ensure our home remains beautiful not just on the inside, but also on the outside. Our statistics have shown that rain and heat are the biggest culprits of damage to homes.

The new Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx, with its rain and crack-proof properties, delivers the ultimate protection against the elements and keeps your house looking brand new for extended period.

We are confident the new Dulux Weathershield Powerflexx gives proud homeowners the protection and peace-of-mind they deserve,” says Jehanzeb Khan, Chief executive, AkzoNobel Pakistan.
