Govt turned earthquake into opportunity, says Musharraf
2007-10-09
President General Pervez Musharraf said on Monday that the government had converted the challenge posed by the earthquake in 2005 into an opportunity by rebuilding the lives of earthquake-affected people along modern lines in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and the NWFP.

Musharraf said the United Nations and other international organisations had termed PakistanÂ’s efforts for the reconstruction of quake-devastated areas better than efforts carried out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the US.
Talking to reporters after inaugurating Jalalabad Park in Muzaffarabad, the president said better houses, state-of-the-art infrastructure, including road networks, healthcare facilities and educational institutions, were being built in the quake-affected areas.

President General Pervez Musharraf said the United Nations and other international organisations had termed PakistanÂ’s efforts for the reconstruction of quake-devastated areas better than efforts carried out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the US and the Tsunami disaster that hit South and Southeast Asia.

Which explains all we need to know about how Pakistain remains mired in the stone-age seventeeth century, on a good day.
