Khar: The Bajaur District is all set to have Rescue 1122 services, according to a news source. A representative from the district administration stated that Bajaur would be the second tribal district to benefit from this facility; with Khyber District residents already availing the service.
The official also revealed that 49 Rescue 1122 employees, five fire brigades, and equipment had already arrived in Khar, the headquarters of the district. He further stated that the equipment and vehicles were parked in a government building for safekeeping; while the employees had been housed in the civil colony.
The district will have one Rescue 1122 station in Khar, and one in Nawagai Town. The Rescue 1122 services will provide first-response aid, ambulances, emergency firefighting, and all other such services. Establishing these centres in the tribal districts will promote better development there and provide the citizens with quality emergency and healthcare services. Khyber district’s Rescue 1122 operations have already been functional in the Jamrud tehsil since August, and now Bajaur will benefit as well.
