The death toll from devastating floods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has risen to 1,300, followed by the outbreak of waterborne disease that have added to the misery of the people affected by the flood.
A Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) official told Daily Times on Sunday that unofficial death report had risen to 1,300. He said the number of deaths confirmed so far had reached 730 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He said 690 people had been killed in Charsadda, Nowshera, Peshawar, Mardan and Swabi.
He said that 115 people were still missing since the torrential rains and flood hit the province.
Locals said thousands people were stranded in Nowshera and water level was gradually decreasing.
According to unofficial reports, the death toll in the worst hit districts of Swat and Shangla had reached 434 – Swat 244 and Shangla 190.
The Pakistan Army is operating at full stretch continuously in FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and had so far rescued over 28,000 people trapped in floodwater and moved them to safer places.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government declared all flood-hit districts “calamity-hit” and waived off all provincial taxes in these areas.
The KP government called on the World Health Organisation to provide 50 kits for Diarrhea treatment and 50 kits for emergency treatment of the people affected by the floods.
About 17 mobile teams have been providing health facilities in Peshawar, Charsadda and Nowshera.
Meanwhile, efforts were still under way to rescue Chinese nationals stranded in Kohistan. Of over 200 Chinese nationals, 110 have been shifted to safer places.
“The government is facing a lot of difficulties to carry out rescue operations because of the collapse of bridges and roads in several areas,” Shakil Qadir, PDMA director, told reporters in Peshawar.
In Punjab, Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Bhakkar, Layyah and Muzaffargarh districts were put on a red alert due to “exceptionally high flood” expected to hit these areas anytime between Sunday night and Tuesday.
The Meteorological Department issued a warning on Sunday, saying a high tide was expected to pass through Taunsa Barrage between Sunday and Tuesday, putting southern Punjab districts at high risk.
In Taunsa Sharif, hundreds of villages had reportedly been submerged by floodwater.
The Met Department also forecast another spell of rainfall in Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab during the next 48 hours. The chief meteorologist said rains would also spread across Azad Kashmir and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Facebook.com Bans in Pakistan

After clear discrimination of Facebook for not banning blasphemous Fan Page, Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom has directed PTA to ban Facebook Page in Pakistan, told us sources close to authority.

A reliable source, who is in direct contact with Secretary MoIT, told ProPakistani that ministry has issued the directive to PTA to ban said blasphemous content in the country.

Ministry of Information Technology directs PTA for banning any URL or whole of website in case of any inappropriate content available on it.

It is yet to be ascertained if the whole Facebook will be banned or just a single URL will be filtered. In both the situations, Step is inline with thousands of Facebook users and according to their urge of boycotting Facebook on May 20th.

It merits mentioning here that a Fan Page on Facebook is encouraging its members to draw Prophet Mohammad’s drawings (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa-aal-hi-Wasallam).

Despite thousands of requests, Facebook didn’t put this page down even it violated Facebook’s own terms of services.

Pakistan Presidency’s Five Chauffeurs Slip Away in USA

Five official drivers of the Presidency in Islamabad, who were sent on a special training program last year, have managed to take a slip in the United State (US), TheNation reported citing reliable sources.

A credible source told the paper that the Pakistani Presidency had sent five drivers including Rafiq Khattak, Shakir Khan, Fayyaz Butt and two others to the US for chauffeur-training course. However, two of them took the slip immediately after completion of their training while three came back with multiple visas to pursue their careers abroad, abandoning the Government of Pakistan.

The source quoting subsequent information that the remaining sole driver also fled to the US availing his multiple visas.

All the five Presidential chauffeurs, the source said, have still not returned to the country and are probably working on private jobs in the US.

One of the chauffeurs, Rafiq Khattak, who had been working with the Presidency for the last 24 years, have submitted a leave application from abroad. However, the Presidency strongly rejected his application and served him a show cause notice.

When asked about the Presidential drivers slipping away in USA, the Presidential spokesman, Farhatullah Babar, said he had no idea about the incidence. “I have never heard of it,” he maintained.

Observers question why these drivers were sent abroad without following due procedures or safeguards.
