Four Rescue 1122 Officials Suspended After Thal Jeep Rally Fire
Racer stayed trapped for nearly two hours as calls for help went unanswered, sparking anger among jeep racers.
Thal Desert – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – Four Rescue 1122 officials have been suspended over claims of negligence during the 11th Thal Desert Jeep Rally. They are accused of failing to give timely help after a jeep caught fire near Chowbara.
The fire broke out at the midpoint of the race track. Racer Izmir Sar Anjam was caught in the blaze and could not get out of the danger easily.
He stayed trapped for nearly two hours. During this time, he called the rescue teams and the event administration again and again, asking for help.
Sadly, no rescue team reached the spot in time. His calls went unanswered while the fire kept burning.
Local people finally came forward to help. They worked together and put out the fire themselves, without any support from the officials.
The incident made many jeep racers very angry. They protested loudly and raised serious concerns about the weak rescue plans. They also blamed the administration for failing to act on time.
Many hoped that safety would improve after the first-day accident. However, the organisers reportedly did not make any real changes.
On the second day, another racer, Faisal Shadi Khel, also met with an accident on the track. This added to the worry about safety at the event.
After the second incident, four Rescue 1122 officials were suspended. They face action for alleged negligence and for not responding quickly.
Racers now want better medical help, faster rescue teams and stronger safety plans. They say no driver should wait for hours in a life-threatening situation.
