AKDN Balance Sheet

Dear Sir,

After going through the lines carefully, one could safely say that the writer of the article has definitely produced a sheet, but has miserably failed to create a balance it. This perhaps is because of the academic background of the writer (he does not seem to be an accountant) and his work experience that he does not know at all what a balance sheet really means. The references made to some of the AKDN institutions are shallow; based on hearsay and cursory look at some of the impacts of the AKDN institutions in Chitral. There seems to be no investigative efforts to put the whole situation some balance manner.

The AKDN a globally recognized development network and some of its affiliate equally well known is definitely beyond the perceptions, imagination and intellectual capacity of the likes of the writer. The writer, it seems has personal grudges, jealousies and biases against some of the AKDN institutions. The Chitrali friends are therefore better advise to simply ignore the bunch of allegations referred against the AKDN by the writer. it is a plain intellectual dishonesty.

Thanks to Saleem Khan

Dear editor

Through your esteemed online newspaper I would like to express my heartiest congratulations to Mr. Saleem Khan for his personal interests towards the health sector in Chitral region. He deserves thanks and appreciation for his efforts to raise a Nursing and LHV school at Denin Chitral. This will definitely be the only recognized Nursing School in the region to promote Nursing education without which health care is of no means.

Keeping in mind the current need of nurses nationally and internationally, their importance to the health care and their current market value Mr. Saleem has put a great effort to raise both the economy and health care of the region.
