Sahib Khan, who emerged as a hero during the rescue operation, shared in a media conversation that he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father, who also dedicated themselves to aiding those trapped in the chairlift. He appealed to the government for employment, suggesting that if jobs cannot be provided, necessary resources should be extended to safeguard people's lives.
Meanwhile, the school's headmaster and students are advocating for the government's intervention in constructing a road in the area.
It's worth noting that on August 22, the cable of the chairlift snapped in Pashto village, Allai, Battagram, leaving eight individuals, including six schoolchildren, suspended at an altitude of 900 feet. The mishap occurred at 7 a.m. as the children were en route to school via the chairlift. Two out of three cables broke, leaving the chairlift hanging midair.
Ultimately, the Pakistan Army, rescue teams, and local residents collaborated tirelessly to successfully rescue all individuals from the precarious situation.
