ISLAMABAD, Aug 21 (APP): Ambassador of Pakistan to Tehran Mudassir Tipu on Wednesday said that the embassy officials had already left for Yazd city for better facilitation and coordination where a bus carrying Pakistani pilgrims met an accident killing 28 of them.
The ambassador, on his X timeline, said that 28 Pakistani Zaireen laid down their lives on Tuesday night while another 23 were injured.
“I have no words to express grief but I can assure that I will do my very best for the repatriation of those who passed away,” he stated.
Also assuring the maximum facilitation and medical treatment of those injured, the envoy said the embassy officials had already left for Yazd, almost 700 km away from the embassy and an officer in Zahedan was overseeing emergency arrangements.
“I’m in touch with the Iran government and the office of Mayor of Yazd for crucial arrangements. We thank Iran for extending excellent cooperation,” he remarked.
