@ All......Alhamdolilah another successful visit to the flood devastated areas of Nowshera and Charsadda.

Special thanks to Wahaj and his team, Umair bhai, Iqbal bhai, Ms Rabia, Dr Adnan, AP2MKS Khalid Shoaib and AP2ZZ,  AP2ARS, Samad and his team and the entire IJC team. It was truely a team effort and it paid well.

PARS team comprising of Khalid Shoaib AP2MKS, Zakir Zaman AP2ZZ, AP2AUM AND AP2ARS provided excellent support in radio com. A HOME BREWED CROSS BAND repeater has been installed with back up battery in case of Electricty failures. Thanks ZZ for provising support in reference to hardware installation


There were five teams constituted by PARS and Islamabad Jeep Club this time;

Team one
Samad Khurram... went with Siraj Khan to cover a village beyond charsada know as Sholgara.. 45 houses destroyed with no shelter or regular food provision. Samad took along tents and Raw food for Langar. All the stuff was handed over successfuly and the langar initiated. Radio support was provided by Burhan.

Team Two
Dr Adnan and AP2MKS Khalid Shoaib in FDO 1 went to Amanpur. 25 houses were washed away in the flood. Ready made food packets were distributed successfuly. AP2MKS was on handheld however weas able to communicate via Murree repeater with s5 copy.

Team Three
Dr Adnan second consignment with ready made food for 300 people left for a village called Achini in Charsada. Zohaib and Burhan carried out the distribution themselves and were able to join us by mid day.

Team Four
PARS, IJC, Roots system and Ibex.... went for intended target village of Pir sabak near risalpur. The convoy was very well received by the elders of the family. The items taken along were primarily for initiation of Langar for 500 people but then on the insistance of the elders of the family the same will be equally distributed amongest the residents and they will themselves cook it. Repeater connectivity wasnot satisfactory. There were areas where there was just no signal. Hence reliance was more on cross band installed and sometimes on simplex.

Team Five
PARS team and IJC went to Pushtoon garhi to inspect the food langar that was commissioned a week back. Everything was found in order. Further reinforcement in terms of food commodity was provided to the langar for another 15 days. 2 cooks and 1 nan bai were also hired. AP2ARS, Shehzad Hamid provided the radio support via both the repeaters. A relatively better signal coverage area.

By and large the entire event well satisfactorily. Reinforcement to these areas would be sent in the coming week.
