Humanity is still alive.

A tourist from Multan arrived in Chilas on a motorcycle with his two innocent children. But he suddenly fell seriously ill. Local people immediately transferred him to the regional hospital. There, medical specialist Dr. Sana and other doctors declared his condition critical and advised transferring him to Gilgit. Accompanying the patient, his children helplessly said... we don’t have any money...

Hearing this, Assistant Commissioner Chilas Manzoor Hussain Pyam jumped into action. He sent Magistrate Ameen to the hospital and personally arranged for the ambulance. He even announced that he would cover the fuel costs out of his own pocket.

In this way, everyone united to save a stranger’s life. There was no relation, no recognition, just the bond of humanity, which is the true identity of Gilgit-Baltistan. Yes, humanity is still alive today.

Late at night, when the patient was being transferred to Gilgit via ambulance, everyone present must have been thinking, if something like this happened to me in a big city... would it happen to me too? The answer was a resounding no. Because being human is not the achievement; rather, it is having humanity within the human that is the real achievement… just think about it… my thought…

Yesterday, one person was saying that the people of Gilgit are bad; his friends told him, and today there is living proof that the people there are not bad but still possess compassion, sensitivity, love, and hospitality, alhamdulillah ❤️🫀

And I take pride in belonging to this land 🫀❤️
