The lost star

By our correspondents

The only Pakistani to have climbed six of the world’s tallest mountains (8000+ meters) including Mount Everest and K-2, Hassan Sadpura, passed away as silently as he climbed those six peaks. He was suffering from blood cancer for some time and his son had to appeal the government to help him with his father’s medical expenses.

Although the government granted the fund to the mountaineer’s son, Sadpura’s life couldn’t be saved.
