Blast victim appeals for help

PESHAWAR: A grieving resident of Khazana village in the provincial capital, who had lost three children in a tragic gas leakage explosion at his home, has appealed to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor, chief minister and other philanthropists for financial assistance.

Mian Shah Naseeb turned up at the Peshawar Press Club (PPC) to narrate his ordeal to reporters.

He said the explosion at his home left his three daughters dead and caused burn injuries to his wife and son.
