PT Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gulmit, February 10:<\/strong> During the past two days a ferry raft operated by the Pakistan Army has evacuated around 300 stranded commuters out of Gulmit, headquarter of the Gojal Tehsil.<\/p>\n

The action by Pakistan Army has been hailed by the local people. However, some have expressed concerns about ensuring safety of large number of people.<\/p>\n

“The raft is\u00a0inconvenient\u00a0for transportation of patients”, Rehman told Pamir Times recently. “The government should instead ensure presence of doctors at the Tehsil Head Quarter Hospital”, he further said.<\/p>\n

It is pertinent to note that all state\u00a0institutions\u00a0and NGOs have failed to provide doctors on permanent basis for the 25,000 people of Gojal Valley, despite of several protest demonstrations.<\/p>\n

A couple of days back the GB Health Minister told the GBLA that soon a doctor will be sent to Gojal Valley but so far no action has been taken in this regard.<\/p>\n

According to the Rabita Committee Mutasreen Gojal (RCMG) , at least 13 people, mostly children, have died in the Gojal Valley since blocked of the river last year, due to unavailability of health facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
