The adjournment motion stated that it’s not the first accident of its kind but till date no concrete air safety strategy has been devised by the stakeholders to avoid such dreadful and unbearable mishaps and it is a high time for a thoughtful and immediate introspection on the state of airline safety in Pakistan. “This is serious issue and requires immediate discussion on the floor of the house,” the adjournment motion stated.
