DERA ISMAIL KHAN:
Belongings of Save the Children organisation, kept in the out-patient department (OPD) of the Agency Headquarter Hospital, Wana, were charred when the room caught fire, the Assistant Political Agent of Wana Shohaib Khan told The Express Tribune. Sharing further details, he said that furniture, books, medicines and such items of the NGO were kept in the second floor of the OPD and the fire was a result of a short circuit. However, it is too early to state the exact reason behind the incident and the political administration of South Waziristan will inquire into the matter, he added. The Agency Headquarter Hospital, Wana is 4km west of the Wana Rusthan Bazaar in Wana sun-division of South Waziristan.
