Also, that Shaheen's aircraft parked next to AP-BLA has been there for quite some time. Apologies I cant recall its registration but it was an A320. Some engineers were working on that aircraft as well when I last saw it on Thursday.

Roughly how long will this work take? Is it severe enough to write the aircraft off service for more than a month?
PIA, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Lufthansa, BA, Turkish, American, AirBerlin, Thai, Air France, Delta, Korean, Qantas, and many more. :D

Two incidents of different nature happened to the aircraft both incidents not linked to each other. each incident should be investigated separately.

Wait a minute... I am confused :?

Where did the 60's and early 70's livery come from on this PIA A320?

You've missed many such things going on in PIA while you were away!

^ Three PIA A320s & a Boeing 777 are painted in 1960s livery to celebrate sixty (1955-2015) years of the airline.

Retro livery overdose.
