MANSEHRA: Eight members of a family were killed and three sustained critical injuries when a vehicle plunged into the Siren River in Gujjara area here on Sunday.
The vehicle was on its way to Tarmung village in Pulrah area, when the driver while negotiating a sharp turn on a steep road lost control over the steering. As a result, the vehicle skidded off the road and plunged into the river.
The police and locals fished out the bodies and shifted them to the Civil Hospital, Pulrah. Three injured were rushed to the King Abdullah Teaching Hospital, Mansehra, in critical condition.
MANSEHRA: PML-N MNA Mohammad Sajjad Awan has alleged that the PTI government is using the National Accountability Bureau to oppress the opposition’s lawmakers.
“Our family has been facing the NAB crackdown since the PTI formed government in the centre through a stolen public mandate in the 2018 elections. The so-called anti-corruption watchdog sent its teams in thrice to ‘unearth’ irregularities in the development funds used by my brother, retired Captain Mohammad Safdar, as MNA but failed miserably,” he told reporters in Darband area of Oghi tehsil on Saturday.
Mr Awan, whose brother retired Captain Safdar is the son-in-law of former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, said the PTI government was victimising its political rivals, especially Sharifs, to cover up its wrong policies and weaknesses.
