by Nadeem
Gulmit, April 17: A policeman fell into the lake formed on Hunza River while returning on a private boat from Gulmit. Also sitting in the boat were AC Hunza, a judge and some other government officials. The reason for this accident is said to be slipping of a box of goods on which the policeman was sitting. Fortunately he was rescued from the lake with the help of ropes. However, his gun could not be found.
After the accident the boat was turned back and the officials reportedly spent the night in Gulmit.

Boat Drivers have to be convinced with Safety and Security Measures.There must be Some check and balance procedures to be adopted for our local peoples Convience and for their saftey.
Lets Hope and pray there is no more accidents of this kind.
