CHITRAL: District president of the PPP and former MPA from Chitral Zainul Abedin has demanded of the government to declare emergency in Chitral as the population of about 500,000 was besieged due to the closure of the Lowari Pass and cancellation of PIA flights, causing shortage of daily-use items.
He said life-saving drugs in hospitals were in shortage and urged the government to provide the medicines to all the healthcare centres immediately.
The PPP leader regretted that no remedial measures had been taken by the government despite the fact that he had already approached the president and prime minister and other ministers concerned and apprised them of the hardships of the people.
He said the immediate solution to the problems of the people of Chitral was the opening of the recently-constructed Lowari Tunnel even for a short duration on a daily basis without disturbing the pace of work.—Zahiruddin
