Is Chitral still a princely state
Dear Editor
This is with reference to the the report by Shah Murad Baig
published on you esteemed online News page on the 25th June 2008. I
just want to ask from Mr. Baig, Who has quoted some Garzi, whether
Saiful Mulk still ruling Chitral? Are the elected representatives,
the district assembly and most important the Chtrali people don't
have the right to decided whether they accep POKHTON KHA as the new
name of NWFP?

DHQ Hospital Chitral
The miserable condition of D.H.Q hospital Chitral invites the kind
attention of concerned authorities it lacks basic health
facilities, which are essential for the existence of any health
care center. People from far-flung areas of the district bring
their patients here for proper treatment, but they find lack of
interests on the part of hospital staff. Medical and para medical
staff of the hospital show indifferent attitude towards their
patients. Ordinary cases are referred to Peshawar, which cause
great trouble for the patients. People who visit this hospital, are
usually poor, who cannot afford the expenditures of traveling to
Peshawar. Rich people always prefer down districts hospitals and
private clinics, therefore they do not need to visit Govt.
hospitals.
D.H.Q hospital Chitral lacks modern equipments. Especially
Laboratory equipments are out-dated. Medical officers of the
hospital don�t trust their laboratory reports and advise the
patients to go nearby private laboratory for laboratory tests,
because their reports are reliable.
I would also like to draw the attention of the authorities towards
the poor conditions of cleanliness in the hospital. Clean wards,
washrooms and office always help reduce the sufferings of the
patients.
