Islamabad Pakistan January 10 ANI Former Pakistan Senate Chairman and current Senator from Sindh province Mian Raza Rabbani demanded a judicial investigation into the Murree tragedy, which claimed the lives of 23 people.
The former Senate chairman Mian Raza Rabbani called the tragedy at Murree a national disaster and demanded a judicial inquiry under a Supreme Court judge to ascertain the negligence of the district and provincial administrations, according to News International.
At least 23 people have died in the past, as thousands of tourist vehicles ended up stranded in Muree in Pakistan's Punjab province due to heavy snowfall and road blockade.
A day of national mourning should be declared and all national resources should be mobilised to rescue the families still trapped, he said, while reacting to the Murree tragedy through a statement.
The district and provincial administrations were unable to control the inflow of people and vehicles into Murree despite weather warnings. He said that Punjab's chief minister sits in Lahore, while the people are trapped without food and water even after 24 hours.
Mian Raza Rabbani was the seventh chairman of the Pakistani Senate from March 2015 to March 2018.
