I was really shocked when I heard this sad news. Late Mr.Bakhtawar was so nice and wise man. Being a neighbor of him I always found him very friendly with every person.
Being a Wood Badger Scout he always guided me how to solve any issue or how to train and organize different activities for the scouts when I was the GSL of Noor Colony Scouts. The Noor Colony Scouts will always remember his efforts and guidelines in their life.
I pray may Allah give departed soul rests in eternal peace and May Allah give patience and strength to his family.
I pray for the quick recovery of the injured persons.

Dear Readers of PT,
First of all I would like to thank you all on behalf of my entire family for your sympathy and prayers.
The sad demise of my uncle Bakhtawar has really shocked our family and is an irreparable loss which would remain part of our sad memories for ever.
Dear reader, Late Bakhtawar Shah was although not very much educated but was really a visionary man. His commitment to the people of his area and his contributions in the field of education are remarkable and praise worthy. He put his utmost efforts towards the establishment of an English medium school in Shimshal and went on to all those possible options which could help the deprived and deserving students of the region. His dreams came true when a splendid and magnificent building was build in the very core of Shimshal valley first ever in the history of Shimshal.His dreams got more depth as the building started its function as an autonomous body in providing modern education to the innocent children of Shimshal keeping in view the requirments of the time and pertinence of the situation. His vision was so broad that keeping in view the scarce of subject specialists in the region, he went on taking help of the educated female teachers belonging to the various parts of Gilgit by providing them with all the necessary facilities towards the effective teaching mechanism.He also arrnaged for the lodging and boarding of the teachers to avoid any kind of perturbation towards their routine teaching related activities and ultimately towards the fulfillment of the set goal.One of the sister who also lost her life was basically from Oshikandas and was serving the Shishal community in the capacity of Principal for the Naubahar Public School.
Before the inception of the English Medium school late Bakhtawar Shah laid the foundation of Nawbahar Social and Welfare Organization where some of the think tanks and well qualified individuals of the region have their membership and due role. In brief the role of this platform is to work as a governing body for the implementation and execution of the various projects related to Educational and social welfare of the dwellers of Shimshal valley.
Late Bakhtawar shah was also an enthusiastic scout and has great contributions towards the establishment and promotion of Scouting in Shishal.During his tenure as a GSL he has done alot in mobilizing and motivating the youth towards constructive works.
He was much anxious to see the young blood progressing in the field of education and has left behind a daughter who is already out of Shishal for her Bachelor degree education.
His aim was to see Shimshal moving abreast with the other areas of the region in the field of education.
The people of Shimshal have spent a very tough and challenging life as had no connection with the world because of the route which just turned to a jeep able road just a couple of years back.
He was a diverse kind of person having multidimensional approach towards the day today related affairs and was very clear about his obligations and vision.
For me he was not just an uncle rather a good friend who on timely basis used to float some very concrete based ideas which really inspired me and motivated me to be more constructive in life.
I have just tried to expose a few traits of him and would require more time and more energy to overview his better thoughts and their implementation for a noble cause.
I pray for the eternal peace of the departed soul and thank you all once again for sharing your sympathy and affiliations.
All the very best

I was really shocked and stunned by the sad news of the suddenly demise of our dear Bakhtawar Shah. INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHI RAJION May Allah give his soul the eternal peeace and give courage to his family to bear with this great loss. He was known to me for a long time as a scout, volunteer, social worker, community mobilizer, poineer in enhancing quality education, a hardworking human being and a friend. He was very much clear in his vision for quality education and had great ampthy for the community. It is an unrepairable loss to the intire jamat in Gojal and particularly Shimshal.
Very sad tragedy, May Allaha bless with Janat ul Firdous the departed soul and grant speedy recovery and the best health to the survivals, Ameen!
Alas! BaKhtawar Shah(Late) was my friend, was very nice man.
May Maula’s mercy be upon his soul and gives sipiritual strenght to his family to bear this great loss.
Our deepest condolences to the family of Bakhtawar Shah, who we know well from many visits to Shimshal. It is a shocking loss. Kim and I feel the tragedy and offer our prayers.
we extend our heartifelt condolence to the family members and to the people of Shimshal as we have lossed a patriotic youth no doubt (waqat har aik shay ko mita dhaitha hay magar insaani khidmat kabi raaygan nahee hotha). Bakthawar shah devoted his life for the batterment of youth and communities certainly he will be remembered till the end.
We pray may Allah rest his soul in eternal peace Aamin

Bakhtawar Shah was one of the most outstanding persons whom I’ve met in my time in the Karakoram Mountains. His committement and help for other persons was just incredible. He’s gone away too early but he and his doings will last in our minds over time!
