House set on fire by unknown people
YARKHUN: Unknown people set the house of a man on fire in Dizg village on Saturday night.
According to local people, Niat Hussain, son of Hussaini, was in Laspur and his family members were asleep inside the house when the house caught fire from outside. When they tried to flee, the door of the house was found bolted from outside. The housemates managed to save their life by breaking the window of a room and informed the neighbours.
A motorcycle and firewood stored outside the house were burnt in the fire but the inmates remained unhurt. The local police have started an investigation into the incident.
Let us see what Chitral Police does here. We should expect police to trace the evil and show his success. No doubt it is a test case for Police.
Nib the evil at the bud, this is a clarion call for the local administration, lest the evil should slip out to proliferate in the entire area. For God sake save this small peace of land, which has remained peaceful for times immemorial, from the evil forces that have started taking roots. Peace is a treasure if we understand it. It is your responsibility my friends in the Police to curb such happenings. The ugly incident of murder in Yarkhun area in the recent past is still fresh in the minds of people.
This news is really shocking if it is correct as has been reported. We are there in the far flung mountainous areas of Chitral only for one reason, that it has always been the abode with peace and tranquility. If this is not there then there is no other cogent reason to have more sufferings on being over there. Thorough investigation is requested from the police so that the culprits do not go free.
