TIMERGARA: Local residents on Saturday demanded of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to appoint a postman to the post office at Mayar.

Talking to journalists at Samarbagh, they said the Mayar post office had been without a postman for eight years due to which important letters and documents could not reach concerned people, especially students, on time.

The residents said they had sent applications to the Lower Dir deputy commissioner, district nazim and high ups of postal services, demanding appointment of postman, but to no avail.

They demanded of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to resolve the matter without delay.

MEDICAL CAMP: The Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD) under its children with disability programme (CWDP) set up a free medical camp at Talash on Saturday.

On the occasion, HHRD programme officer Mohammad Bilal said the organisation had been serving a total of 400 special children in Samarbagh and Talash. He said a well-equipped centre for special persons had been opened in Mansehra that provided medical care and organs’ transplant facilities to special persons.
