In recognition of their selfless efforts for humanity, Afridi revealed that he has plans to reward both Sahib Khan and his friend with jobs and a surprise reward.
Earlier this week, eight people, including seven students and a teacher, were rescued by the Pakistan Army and locals after being trapped in a cable car for several hours.
After the rescue operation, caretaker Prime Minister, Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, also lauded the efforts of the armed forces, rescue teams, and locals for their humanity.
“Great teamwork by the military, rescue departments, district administration, as well as the local people,” the Prime Minister wrote on Twitter.
