PESHAWAR, Aug 25 — The owner and operator of a stricken cable car that dangled over a Pakistan ravine for more than 12 hours have been arrested after repeatedly ignoring safety warnings, police said yesterday.
“The initial notice was issued to the owner in June, followed by a second notification served in August.”Meanwhile the specialist zipliners who were drafted in to lead the rescue mission have been hailed as heroes by the country’s caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar. “The children were petrified, screaming at me and pleading not to approach, fearing that my weight could cause the gondola to descend.”
“Some of the children were so frustrated and were considering to jump down, but the elder passenger gave us confidence,” 15-year-old Rizwan Ullah told AFP on Wednesday.
