ABBOTTABAD: The Abbottabad police helped seven tourists from Lahore, who lost their way in the thick forests of Galiyat on Saturday night, to return to their hotel in Dunga Gali.

Eight members of the family, including two men and five women, had left for Mirajani Dangri Bungalow from Nathiagali on Saturday night, but they lost their way in the forest while returning.

Another member of the family, who was staying in a hotel in Dunga Gali, informed the police about the missing of his family members. The police started searching for the tourists and found them at a point around 3am, helping them reach their hotel early in the morning.

Meanwhile, a relief camp set up for the flood victims by the Abbottabad police was closed down after 10 vehicles loaded with goods, especially food items, were dispatched to the flood-affected people of Kohistan, Mansehra and Dera Ismail Khan on Sunday.

District police officer Sajjad Khan thanked the people of Abbottabad for donating generously in cash and kind for the flood-hit people.—Correspondent
