Peshawar's burn center stays non-functional after third year of construction
PESHAWAR:
People who are suffering from burns have to tolerate their pain as the burn centre in Peshawar is not functional and treatment cannot be provided to the burn victims on time and the hospitals don’t have enough resources to treat the burn victims.
A special burn centre was built in Hayatabad but unfortunately it was never functional as the required facilities were never provided because of the lack of funds.
"If the federal government is not disbursing the required funds then the KP government should provide the amount as the centre would serve people of the province," a plastic surgeon, Dr Qazi Amjad, said while talking to media.
Every year at least 8,000 patients with burn injuries are brought to Peshawar from different districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the adjoining tribal areas. But they have to be referred to Islamabad as burns centre in Peshawar hospitals lack the basic facilities.

Court scorches health dept for burn unit delay
PESHAWAR: Days after a woman walked into a Peshawar police precinct and set herself on fire and had to be rushed 200 kilometres to the federal capital for treatment, a court has expressed its displeasure in delays in building a burn unit in the provincial capital.
A two-judge bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) comprising Justice Qaiser Rashid and Justice Ghazanfar Khan, while hearing a case relating to the construction of the Neurosurgery ward in Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH), expressed dissatisfaction over the slow pace of development work.

Actual numbers of trees planted are barely 100 million according to latest reports. They didn't even finish 1 program properly. We have to ask where did Rs 12b for billion trees go because one could build world class burn unit and forensic lab with that money.

Its not PTI that is the problem it is KPK people who are incompetent uneducated , either refuse to educate or incapable of being educated to better themselves and their province.
Not totally their own fault, they have been affected by afghan influx and their retardation has affected KPK culture - niqab, terrorism, womens rights and being useless and only good for low skilled jobs like truck driving.
Questions need to be asked as to why are they not able to drive investment? Why do they not have corporations of any sort? Why do they not have a decent city in the province? My patience is wearing thin with them, a lot of money is wasted on corruption and any money which does get used on projects is wasted on incompetence.
This is not a personal attack so before a KPK chest thumping comes forward crying racism, you are all Pakistanis, take the criticism. Same was said about Karachi and now they are turning things around with 60 skyscrapers being built and law and order returning to normality. So deal with it and provide solutions.

Legislations prove no barrier: Over 55 women killed violently in K-P
PESHAWAR:
It was ominous when on just the second day of the year a woman walked into a police station and set herself on fire. Officers took their time in responding to the searing sight as the woman suffered which were ultimately fatal burns.
Since that incident two months ago, which took place in the provincial capital, more than 54 cases of violence against women have been perpetrated in the province, including some which have drawn the attention of the top court. Justice in most of those cases, however, remains elusive.
A database of incidents of violence against women collected by a local non-governmental organization (NGO) using newspaper reports as the basis for their data recorded, at least 18 major incidents of violence against women, including honour killings, across the province were committed in January. This doubled to 37 in February.
The data, though, only shows a partial picture since a number of cases are never reported in the media, while a fraction is not even reported to police.
The first incident of violence in 2018 occurred when a woman, identified as Salma, walked into the Kotwali police station in Peshawar and set herself on fire. She was apparently protesting against the release of a house owner she had a dispute with. The woman suffered extensive burns and succumbed to her injuries in Islamabad days later.
This incident was followed by the brutal murder of a couple in Toru Mayar area of Mardan. The two had eloped and had allegedly been killed in the name of honour.
Another woman was gunned down by family members in Mansehra who had contracted love marriage 15 years ago.
On January 8, a boy killed his stepmother in the Saddar area of Mardan. A day later, another couple was killed in Dir, apparently in the name of honour.
The same day, a man killed his wife in the Doranpur area of Mardan.
Days later, well-known stage actor Brekhna was killed along with her father by her suitor in the Kakshal area of the city. The man later committed suicide.
On January 18, brothers strangled their sister in DI Khan in another honour killing case.
On January 28, a newlywed bride was killed in Kohat.
A day later, a medical student Asma Rani was killed in Kohat by two brothers after she rebuffed advances. The case drew the attention of the apex court. Recently her family’s request to move the case from Kohat to Peshawar was also granted.
The next day a man threw acid on his wife and stepdaughter in Batkhela area of Malakand.
In Parang, Charsadda, a girl was filmed naked by two boys.
A boy killed his stepmother and then dumped her body in a deserted area within the remits of Mathra police station.
It was followed by the killing of two sisters in the Pishtakhara area on the outskirt of Peshawar. These two were also apparently killed in the name of honour since they were seen as making a living by dancing, something which was unacceptable to their brothers.
On February 2, a local singer Sumbal was gunned down allegedly by Jehangir Khan – the same man who had previously killed Ghazala Javed in Peshawar.
On February 7, a married woman committed suicide in the Budhani area of Peshawar due to unknown reasons. The same day, an 18-year-old girl committed suicide in Mardan.
Separately on the same day, Momina was apparently killed for honour by her in-laws after she was allegedly spotted with her lover in Nisata, Charsadda.
On February 9, a man killed his sister-in-law in Kolai area of Kohistan when he spotted her with a man. When his mother tried to save the woman, she was also killed. The accused lover was also killed.
On February 11, in Topi area of Swabi, a man allegedly killed his wife, cut up the body into pieces and then buried them inside his house. The next day in Bannu, a man killed his wife in Kachi Camp.
On February 13, another woman was killed by her husband in Bannu due to unidentified reasons.
Though there was a ban on celebrating Valentine’s Day publicly, there was no ban on violence against women on the day after a man killed his wife, a mother of three, in Akora Khattak area of Nowshera. He then left the body in the house and fled with his three children.
On February 15, a woman committed suicide after a verbal dispute with her husband in Urmar Payan area on the outskirts of Peshawar. A woman also committed suicide in Jehangirabad area of Peshawar the same day.
On February 16 a man and his sister-in-law were killed by unidentified assailants in Bannu.
On February 17, a woman was allegedly raped inside her vehicle by a policeman in Haripur.
The next day, a teenaged girl who was assisting her elder sister during the polio vaccination campaign was abducted by unidentified people in Sheikhan. She was found unconscious from a nearby graveyard a few hours later with officials claiming that she was not raped.
On February 20, another local singer, dancer and actor Noor Sher was killed by her husband Malik Sheraz in Abbottabad. They had divorced just five days after their marriage.
The same day, a man and his father attacked his wife in Chamkani area of Peshawar because the woman had filed for divorce. She, however, survived with injuries.
On February 22, a man killed his daughter in Ogai area of Torghar along with her suitor Muhammad Saeed, ostensibly for honour.
Similarly, a girl was slaughtered by her brother and cousin in Abbottabad inside their residence when she was found to be pregnant on February 24.
On February 26, a young girl was killed by a man and his father when the family refused to accept their marriage proposal in the Pishtakhara area of Peshawar.
On February 27, a girl was killed by her brother in the Katlang area of Mardan after she refused to make tea for him.
Rights activist Tamure Kamal told The Express Tribune said that it was unfortunate that violence against women continues unabated despite the fact that there is proper legislation in this regard.
Another rights activist, Imran Takkar said that the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa police, like those in the rest of the country, are not gender sensitive. Moreover, continued violence against women only shows that government policies have failed.

I'm not PTI fan but I was genuinely happy that about time that KPK received some due development but it looks like they took the same route that PMLN has taken where they've only bothered with developments they can put a board on. What happened to emphasizing on social reform ? You build all the schools and have the best policing system but it doesnt matter at all unless you're producing good citizens.

I have to agree with this poster. Based on crime statistics shared by dawn. Violence against women is a national and not a local issue.

25 harassment complaints from last year remain unattended in Peshawar: NGO
More than 25 female students of universities in Peshawar complained about harassment on campus during the past one year, said an NGO. The complaints are unattended to date.
The NGO works for women’s rights in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
When the inquiry committee was asked about the complaints, their focal person, Prof Abdul Rauf, said that they have received only one complaint so far. “Female students should contact us and we will protect their identities,” he said.
According to the NGO, it has been seven years that the bill against harassment was passed but no one was appointed to take charge of the harassment committees.

Not all Pashtun are truck drivers. There are fantastically educated people in the province of KPK. KPK is not a jungle. This province has renowned universities, doctors, professors etc.
The problems you have highlighted exist all over Pakistan. We are still a developing economy. Don't blame the people though. Blame the stupid leaders of this nation. We never made a priority of building schools, hospitals etc. Our misplaced priorities are to loot, have multiple cars and palaces.
Our leaders are thieves. They have off shore bank accounts and properties. Look at the Panama drama for instance. All money belonging to the people is stolen and kept in off shore bank accounts. What if this money is spent on health and education?
