RIP – Ehsanul Haq Jan
We are deeply saddened over the passing of Ehsanul Haq Jan of Booni, Upper Chitral, in United States of America (USA). He was 52.
Ehsanul Haq Jan was associated with the UNICEF and had been living in the USA along with his family for the last many years. Earlier, he worked with the AKDN in Chitral and Gilgit-Baltistan before joining the UN body.
He leaves behind his parents, wife, five brothers, two sisters and two children – a daughter and a son.
When contacted by ChitralToday, Shamsul Haq Qamar, brother of the late Chitrali development expert, said on phone from the USA that they were returning to New Jersey from Virginia in their car, driven by Mr Ehsan’s wife, when it met with the accident on a highway in Maryland area. Jan passed away on the spot.
His wife was flown in a police helicopter to a trauma centre at Baltimore with injuries. Mr Qamar and his wife who were visiting Ehsan were treated for minor injuries in a nearby health centre.
Mr Qamar said a decision about bringing the dead body to Pakistan would be taken later after fulfilling legal formalities.
Meanwhile, Shamiar Khan Lal, the father of the deceased, in a statement in Booni asked relatives, friends and well-wishers living in different parts of Chitral to pray for the departed soul in their areas instead of visiting Booni.
Jan was a nice friend and made quick rise in his career starting from Chitral and culminating in the UN in USA. He was such a polished persality. His sudden passing has saddened not only his near and dear but all those who even hadn’t met him.
I pray that Almighty give patience to his family, especially his oarents to cope with it.
Very sad indeed. Equally shocked and devastated by this tragic news. May God bless the beautiful soul eternal peace and all of the family has the courage to bear this loss. This is indeed an irreparable loss for the entire community.
This is really sad and great loss to all of us. He was a good live heart and cool personality. May Almighty God give his family courage and patience.
Indeed it is immense loss not only for Chitral but for Pakistan. His sudden loss has created such a vacuum which cant be filled for centuries. He was such a good friend and good human being. He was man of charismatic personality and loved by every one in Chitral.
Our heartfelt condolences to his entire family members
We pray that Al-Mighty Allah grant his departed soul eternal peace and give bereaved family to bear this great loss. Ameen
Very sad indeed for the family….was he engaged with Unisef at individual level or àssigned a job by the govt of Pakistan?. A matter of great pride for us if he represented the country. We are sorry for his untimely departure. While using the highway in USA he should not have allowed his wife to take control of the driving seat….women are weak by nature you know. They can not handle emergency situations…….a very precious life was lost.
Such a tragic end to the life of a young man with lots of hopes for himself and scores of his near and dear ones. May Allah grant patience to his family in these testing times.
Broken broken, broken 😭😭😭, Dearest Lal rest in eternal peace ameen 😭😭

Ameen!
