This morning, a group of eight school children and two teachers found themselves in an unexpected situation. They were travelling to school in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when one of the cables snapped, leaving them trapped in a chairlift 1,200 feet in the air.
Rescue official Bilal Ahmad Faizi has said an urgent rescue effort is now underway. Tanveer Ur Rehman, a local Battagram district official, elaborated: “The chairlift is hanging 1,200 feet above ground. Rescue efforts are impossible without a helicopter, and experienced rescue officials are needed to ensure the rescue goes smoothly.”
In response, Pakistan’s caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar has ordered all “dilapidated and non-compliant chairlifts” to close immediately. District Police Officer Sonai Shamaroz was able to confirm that all of the children in the chairlift are ninth-grade students.
