With profound grief and heavy hearts, we share the devastating news of the untimely passing of our beloved cousin, a young boy whose life was tragically cut short in a drowning accident in Chipurson, Gojal.
He was full of promise, energy, and joy — just a day before, he had been celebrating with family at a cousin’s wedding, smiling, laughing, and spreading his warmth to everyone around him. It is unthinkable that such a vibrant soul is no longer with us. His passing has left not only his parents and siblings shattered, but also his extended family, friends, and the entire community, who are struggling to come to terms with the loss.
After the tragic incident, he was pulled out of the water by a local, and for a fleeting moment there was hope — he was alive. But with no emergency services available nearby, no trained responders, and no ambulance equipped to provide urgent medical care, precious time was lost. He was rushed to a hospital, but heartbreakingly, the facility lacked doctors and the necessary resources to save him. The painful reality is that he could have survived had there been timely medical intervention.
This tragedy is not just a personal loss, but a communal wound — one that highlights the dire need for improved healthcare facilities and emergency preparedness in our region. In this modern age, it is a shame that families are still losing their loved ones to preventable circumstances because of inadequate infrastructure. His passing is a reminder that we, as a community, must unite to demand our rights and ensure that such a tragedy does not repeat itself.
He will be remembered as a bright, loving, and kind-hearted boy who brought happiness to everyone he met. To his cousins, he was a companion in laughter; to his parents, he was their pride and joy; to his community, he was a symbol of hope for the future. His absence has created a void that can never be filled, and the pain of his loss will linger for years to come.
As his family prepares to lay him to rest, we pray for strength, comfort, and healing for his grieving parents, siblings, and all who loved him dearly. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his memory continue to inspire love, unity, and the courage to advocate for the changes our community so desperately needs.
