that is a big number for grounded aircraft, if true.
News link does not mention how many of each type.
But there are always some aircraft which are used as spare parts, remember how AP-BHW was being cannibalised last year or something.
I would not be surprised if this was true.

Is PIA going to give any clarification on this news from jung?

Ten ATRs grounded.

Two Boeing 777s and three Airbus A320s are undergoing routine maintenance checks, according to news sources.
