| [GEO.TV] The police on Wednesday apprehended two people — the cable car operator and its owner — over negligence in connection to the tragic incident of the gondola that put the lives of eight people at risk for more than 15 hours in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Battagram yesterday. The incident took place early Tuesday morning when eight passengers — most of them were students — onboard the cable car were on the way to school. The trolly got stuck halfway when two of its wires snapped. The army later started an operation — led by SSG's general officer commanding (GOC) — to save the people on board the cable car. After the nerve-testing rescue operation, all eight passengers were successfully rescued by the Pakistain Army's commandos. Meanwhile, ...back at the alley, Slats Chumbaloni was staring into a hole that was just .45 inch in diameter and was less than three feet from his heavily sweating face ... the police also launched an investigation into the incident and sealed the cable car’s control room. According to the Hazara division deputy inspector general of police, five counts related to negligence have been added to the first information report (FIR). He added that further Sherlocks are underway in this regard. |
