Efforts to rescue the victims were facing hindrances due to a surge in the waterflow of the river.
Who is RESPONSIBLE ?? Human Life seems VALUELESS in Pakistan; be it in Cities, in Rivers, or in Air.
No Govt., Official accepts the charge !!
may allah give them jannah.
unnecessary loss of life would have been avoided by just a basic inspection of wire and lift carried out every week…
Another case of negligence on regular safety inspections.
Traveling over the river? Life jackets would help!
