Shaheen Afridi spent his Eid day at the Land Slide area near Torkham, a bustling border town located in the rugged terrain of the Khyber Agency.

The incident had cost the lives of eight people, with many others injured and significant financial losses incurred.

"I spent my Eid day at the Land Slide area near Torkham. Saddened that the incident cost 8 lives, many injured and huge financial losses. Really heartening to see all state security and rescue staff tirelessly working 24/7 to retrieve the deceased and clearing the rubble for over 5 days now," Shaheen wrote.
