Manan Mandokhail, Syed Muhammad Yaseen:
Mir Balach Nosherwani, a young man from Quetta’s Sariab Road sacrificed his life while saving a child who fell into a well. A minor boy was collecting garbage in the area and suddenly fell into a well in the Sariab area of Quetta. To save a young soul, Mir Balach put his life at peril and went down into the deadly well full of rainwater. Floods and rains have claimed 207 lives including 61 children across Balochistan.
“Despite repeated appeals, no official rescue team came”, Jamil Ahmed, one of the relatives of Balach lamented.
It’s very unfortunate to mention that Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and other rescue organizations seemed to be ignorant of the whole scenario. “They came when residents of the area retrieved the dead bodies on their own”, Mr. Ahmed said as his voice cracked because of the trauma.
Dead bodies were retrieved after 14 hours
After 14 hours of continuous search operation by locals and PDMA, the dead bodies of both the young boy and Balach were found in the well full of rainwater. This daily repeatedly tried to speak to the PDMA official but none responded in this regard.
The body of the young man was removed from the well after 14 hours by the insensible rulers and nominal rescue organizations. The residents of the area lashed out at the provincial government and the PDMA for their failure to launch a timely rescue operation.
PDMA team arrives after the recovery of dead bodies
This daily timely reported the incident to mount pressure on the government to move technical staff and machinery to save human lives.
Mir Balach Nosherwani in Saryab who was trying to rescue children drowned in the water. The child who fell into the well and the rescuer could not be pulled out at 12:00 AM in the Quetta Sariab area. After 14 hours of a continued search operation, the dead bodies of Balach and a young Pashtun child were found.
