He sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the DHQ Hospital Attock but he could not survive.

HIDES COLLECTION: The local administration failed to stop various mysterious organizations from collecting hides contrary to their claim of keeping a vigilant eye on their activities during the Eid days.

The failure of police and other law-enforcement agencies in stopping these organizations from collecting hides deprived the genuine religious and social welfare organizations of Attock of their right to the hides.

EXCESSIVE FARES: The local transporters have been overcharging the commuters since Monday due to lack of proper check by the traffic police and Road Transport Authority.
