According to local authorities, the event occurred at 8 a.m., while kids and two residents were on their way to school. Fear caused one of the children to pass out, according to reports.
Two of the cable car’s three cables snapped, trapping homeowners and kids roughly 3,000 feet above the ground. Senior authorities from the local administration and rescuers are on the scene, but they are having difficulty due to the cable car’s unusual height.
During the operation, interim Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti issued directions to expedite the operation, and the Pakistan Army was asked to assist with the rescue efforts. Government officials stated that all resources would be used throughout the rescue mission.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
