“Relieved to know that all the kids have been successfully and safely rescued. Great teamwork by the military, rescue departments, district administration as well as the local people,” Prime Minister Kakar posted on X. The children used to go to school by crossing the same valley and the river through this cable car. The local administration along with Rescue 1122 teams were present at the spot, but due to the height and the hilly terrain, it was not possible for rescue officials to carry out a relief operation, Assistant Commissioner Jawad Hussain said.
