The existence of these unauthorized structures reflects the failure and silent complicity of the relevant institutions.<br \/>\nThe court directed the investigation committee formed on the Swat tragedy to submit its preliminary findings within 7 days and a detailed report within 14 days. The Advocate General of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was also instructed to clarify what steps have been taken so far to ensure public safety.<br \/>\nThis firm action by the court is seen as a landmark step towards ensuring accountability and protecting lives in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PESHAWAR The Peshawar High Court (PHC) Wednesday declared the Swat tragedy a result of gross negligence and ordered a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
