Blind postman of Haripur

Author: Daily Times

Sir: With reference to a heart-rending story of devotion and plight of a blind postman, Muhammad Anwar from Haripur, published in two national dailies. Muhammad Anwar has been delivering the mail to far off village houses accessible through 12-kilometer-long rugged hilly tracks for the last 44 years, receiving Rs 1,040 per month, supporting a large family, still non-permanent and so not qualified for pension. It appears incredible but it is a reality and Anwar deserves justice. He preferred an honourable living instead of begging. Will the concerned worthy federal minister for postal services and the worthy chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be kind enough to ascertain the factual position for a respectable assistance to this honourable blind postman, performing job of a medically fit postman?
