Thanks Allah for safe recovery of all the children. Thanks to Rescue 1122 Rawalpindi for the job well done.
Its good to read that rescue 1122 have saved all lives...God Bless You Guys
I am grateful to read that all the kids have been successfully rescued and that there are no fatalities. I wish a quick recovery to the injured.
almost all buildings in Islamabad are poorly constructed using substandard material and shoddy techniques.
My god this is sad :(
Instead of building rubbish roads and buses, the government should heavily invest in disaster management and recovery departments and units. This 1122 service is awesome but little attention and investment can make it even better. They don't seem to have stone cutting machinery or heavy-duty helicopters or fully equipped ambulances or other necessary equipment; that can be easily provided with 10-20 billion rupees. Same is the case with hospitals, poor people are dying of heat and lack of services in government hospitals.
