Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Saturday expressed shock over the loss of lives and trapping of soldiers of the Pakistan Army in a snow slide at Gayari Sector in Siachin.
The Prime Minister, who is in constant contact with the authorities concerned regarding the rescue operation, said the incident in no way would undermine the high morale of soldiers and officers. He also asked the authorities to keep him abreast of the ongoing rescue operation. According to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), around 100 army personnel came under a snow slide early this morning at Gayari Sector near Skardu.
Hectic rescue efforts have started and sniffing dogs, helicopters and troops are at the site to undertake rescue efforts. Army sources said heavy engineering machinery has also been moved in from Rawalpindi by air to speed up the rescue work.
Overcharging of fare irks commuters: Citizens have protested against overcharging of wagon and Suzuki fare by Rs 3 from stop to stop by owners of Toyota Hiace and Suzuki’s plying on different routes of twin cities. The wagon drivers have started charging fare Rs 15 instead of Rs 12 from one stop to other stop on the route from Dhok Hafiiz Karal Chowk to Miran Abad, Fwara chowk unilaterally while no notification has been issued by the Transport Authority in this regard. It is injustice with the commuters to charge fare at the rate of Rs 15 even for the distance which is less than one kilometer, said Gulzar Ahmad, a citizen.
“We have also been affected adversely by the hike in the prices of petroleum products but increase in fare by Rs 3 from stop to stop is sheer tyranny, said a group of school teachers. On the other hand Punjab government has not increased fares from 2010 but the wagon drivers are violating blatantly the fares fixed by transport authority.
Drainages in capital become garbage stations: Drainages and streams flowing through Islamabad have become garbage stations owing to negligence on part of the Capital Development Authority, residents say.
The city is begging to stink to its streams and drainages that have become garbage-dumping stations owing to negligence on part of CDA.
Slum dwellers and residents of nearby localities started throwing wastage into them.
