The request was made at a meeting of the chamber chaired by its President Rahat Ali Khan. Senior Vice President Bakht Karam, Vice President Dr Zakir Muhammad, and former president Yousaf Ali Khan and others attended the meeting.
Diplomats from 12 countries, including Indonesia, Portugal, Kazakhstan, Bosnia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Turkmenistan, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Iran, Tajikistan and Russia, were visiting Swat when their convoy came under an attack that left one cop martyred and three others wounded.

The participants of themeeting offered a prayer for the martyred cop, Burhan Khan, and announced a cash assistance of Rs100,000 for his family.
