As chill begins to kill people, Pak Army sells winterized tents in open market
An UN official on condition of anonymity revealed a big tent scam: âUNHCR gave Pakistan Army more than 2,000 âwinterizedâ tents for distribution among the most deserving quake-victims living at the altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 feet above the sea level. But the army officers sold them in Islamabadâs markets. A farmer Mr. Nizamuddin bought one such tent for one of his relatives living in Azad Kashmir. The UNHCR checked the local markets and it was confirmed that the same tents had been sold.
