    Friday, 9 December 2016 07:00

    An investigation is on-going into the PIA flight which crashed in the North of the country on Wednesday 6th Decemeber. The carrier has insisted strict checks left "no room for any technical error".

    Pakistani authorities have said the apparent engine issue will be a focus of inquiries. The flight which was travelling from Chitral to Islamabad, took the lives of 47 people including that too of Pakistani icon and Islamic Preacher Junaid Jamshed.

    There was anger amongst relatives of the victims, gathering at the hospital to collect their loved ones' remains.

    Plane crashes are not uncommon in Pakistan, but the last major crash involving a PIA aircraft was in 2006, in which 44 people died.
