Abdul Rauf, his wife and 9 years old son sustained burn injuries.
The injured were shifted to Trauma Center Haripur where after initial treatment all three were referred to Burn Center Wah. The death toll of burn patients in Hazara has drastically increased owing to the non-availability of the burn unit facility in the region and usually, patients were referred to Punjab for treatment.—APP
