DASKA – A 25-year-old youth attempted suicide by jumping down from a two-storey building in the Cantt police precincts over psychological problem. On receiving information, Rescue 1122 rushed to site and shifted Hassan Subhani to CMH.
WOOD BANK DEMANDED: Furniture manufacturers and exporters from Daska, Sambrial, Pasror and Silakot have urged the government to set up a wood bank to ensure the supply of Sheesham (rosewood). They said they were facing a great inconvenience owing to the artificial shortage of Sheesham created by middlemen.
They added the proposed wood bank would help promote furniture industry, curb the role of middlemen, and discourage illegal timber trade, which was leading to deforestation. The furniture manufacturers urged the government to establish wood depots in Lahore, Sialkot, Chiniot, Jhelam and Gujrat.
