Protesting Chitralis in Peshawar condemn govt apathy
The protesters, including representatives of various organisations of traders, asked the government to open the under-construction tunnel for safe communication of the people in the winter. The protest demonstration was held outside the Peshawar Press Club. Carrying banners and placards inscribed with demands calling for the opening of the tunnel for two days in a week, the protesters criticised both the federal and provincial governments for playing with the sentiments of the people. “A child died due to severe cold near the tunnel but the authorities did not move to facilitate the stranded people,” said a protester. The protesters said they were living in Peshawar and other parts of the country but their families were still in Chitral but they had no road communication due to heavy snowfall and closure of the road. Expressing concern at the death of the boy while on way from Chitral to Peshawar for medical treatment, the protesters said the government should compensate the heirs of the deceased. They urged the federal government to fulfill its responsibility and expedite work on the tunnel to bring an end to woes of the public. They demanded the KP government to extend cooperation to the passengers stranded on either sides of Lowari Pass to avert any mishap on the Chitral-Peshawar road. The stranded people, they said, were in dire need of basic requirements and government should facilitate them.]]>
Those who remain calm and do not speak against the heinous and dreadful calamity are also culprits. I urge all to avoid politicizing this matter as this is a humanitarian issue. Our leaders must join hands and show to the world that Chitralis are educated people and understand how to live as decent citizens and how to fight for their basic rights.
Wether it’s Mr.A , Mr.B and even every respresentatives of District Chitral are immediate and direct responsible for such pathetic condition of mountain community. It is no neccessory To highlight the name of every one in FIR as @ Shuja Mir stress it thrice in his comments. The point raised by @Dr.Faizi is genuine and according to present situation. The political hierarchy in the game can’t be blame as they policy implementors are from the govt sectors.
My noble creater of AWAZE-CHITRAL brothres.Thanks a lot and keep it up and make registration of such party/group if needed by law and speak openly about the right and wrong in the best interest of our lovely chitrals future. A day will.come Saleem khan will be countable for his gaining illegal wealth by corruprion. The FIR should be lodged againat all three MPAS/MNA becaz this was their job to sorted out Lowari issue before hand to avoid any unforeseen acident like innocent 2 year old boy died in lowari tunnel.They are directly reaponsible for this issue being our representatives in Corrupt N.S.government.Thanks a lot& bye now.
The authority who has signed the contract with the SAMBU Company should be the first to be nominated in the FIR. How he had been so naive not to enter a condition in the contract that during closure of the Lawari Pass the Tunnel should remain open for the commuters. That stupid authority had to work out alternative strategy for continuance of traffic during winters before contracting the second phase of the project.
Fir should be against saleem khan MPA ,he was minister with the previous government and a part of Zardari team,who stopped funding for the Lowery.He did not take any step even did not come to the people of chitral. He was busy to collecting money. Ye
Dr sb…why our mpa,s name should not be included in the FIR. As a selected rep of our community it was absolutely their duty to follow up the case with the govt depaetments before such horrible incident happen.I do have lot of repect for u from the childhood and expect balance comments becaz you are the most senior educationist of chitral..plz and thanks.
Protest is ist step,second step should be lodging an FIR in PS Drosh Against the PM CM,Governor KP. and Chairman NHA under CrPC 302 and 420 for the murder of Rehanullh,the 2 year old son of Hazrat Jan from Ursun Chitral.
