Indus cross jeep rally tomorrow


The Tourism Corporation of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is sponsoring the Indus Water Cross 2014 to be held on Sunday on the Motorway near Swabi.

The event is being organised by the Frontier 4x4 Club and Sigma Motors. Around 30 jeeps will participate in this activity. This is the fourth time that this rally will take place on Indus River, but the first to get official sponsorship. This year the organisers have decided to do it on a big scale and involve the government sector in it, said a press release.

“Earlier the event was postponed due to water level issues as the thrill of the event is when the jeeps are stuck in the water and can’t move forward or go back,” said TCKP MD Mushtaq Ahmad.

He said that adventure tourism was a new concept and should be highlighted. The 4x4 clubs of Islamabad, Lahore and Abbottabad will participate.

Indus River Water Cross: Record set at 2.22 seconds



As Babur Khan Yousufzai crossed the 1.7 kilometres (km) of the Indus River Water Cross in 2.22 seconds, everyone knew he had won. He was followed closely by Daud Shah at 3.06 seconds, and Irshad and Yasir Khan at 3.90 seconds each.

The participants had to cover a distance of 1.7km and cross the river at four points or hurdles. The event was held at Motorway 1 on Sunday near the Indus River Bridge in Swabi and was organised by the Frontier 4×4 Club in association with Classic Land Rover, Peshawar.

Aysha Zafar Sabri, the only woman who participated, said it was a challenging task. “More women should have come and taken part,” she said. “Such events are so rare in our part of the world that it was rather unexpected.” She added she had been practicing for the water cross.

According to the event sponsor, Zafaruddin Ahmad, young people were enthusiastic about it as it was a challenging task. He added the province should not just be associated with guns and bullets, but other things too. The event was sponsored by the Tourism Corporation of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
