The body of retired Colonel Qazi Ishaq has been discovered in the raging waters of Sawan River, three days after he and his daughter were swept away by floodwaters in Islamabad. The tragic incident unfolded in a private housing society amid torrential rains, which caused severe flooding in the area.
Colonel Qazi Ishaq, along with his 25-year-old daughter, was driving when their car became trapped in the rapidly rising water. Despite attempts to restart the vehicle, the powerful current dragged the car into a storm drain, causing it to disappear from the sight of shocked onlookers. Emergency teams were immediately dispatched, but hope began to fade as the days went on.
On Thursday morning, rescue teams made a grim discovery beneath the Sawan Bridge. Parts of Colonel Ishaq’s car, including its door and bonnet, were found, twisted and torn by the force of the floodwaters. It wasn’t long before Colonel Ishaq’s lifeless body was recovered from the river, bringing an end to the search for him.
However, the fate of his daughter remains uncertain. She is still missing, and her family is holding onto hope. Rescue efforts continue, with teams from Rescue 1122, Navy divers, helicopters, and drone teams working tirelessly. Heavy machinery is also being used in the search to find the young woman.
The tragic death of Colonel Qazi Ishaq has left the family devastated and the nation in shock. The incident highlights the deadly risks of urban flooding, particularly during the monsoon season, and raises serious concerns about the preparedness of infrastructure and disaster response systems. As the search continues, the family and the nation pray for a miracle to bring the missing daughter home safely.
