The Mir Khalil-ur-Rehman Foundation (MKRF), in partnership with British Asian Trust, launched the nationwide campaign \u201cMILKAR\u201d to address mental health issues in Pakistan last year.\u00a0 The \u201cMILKAR campaign is intended to create awareness, remove stigma, raise red flags, profile success stories and facilitate the provision of help\u201d. Speaking on the occasion, Masud said: \u201cDon\u2019t look at mental health from a single perspective as it has many aspects.\u201d He advised that after experiencing a trauma or an accident, one should not ignore it even if one is strong. He further urged those who went through a trauma to visit a doctor. \u201cLuck and hope matter, but to overcome trauma, you must take positive measures,\u201d he added. He urged people not to ignore their responsibilities in the name of values or traditions. In his book, Masud, one of the two survivors of the crash of the PIA plane in Karachi in 2020, discussed the impacts of traumatic events on human lives. The book also discusses his post-crash experiences, his\u00a0recovery journey and the author&#8217;s autobiography. A large number of people from different walks of life attend the event. In the tragic incident on May 22, 2020, 97 passengers and crew members were killed when a Lahore to Karachi-bound PIA flight, PK-8303, crashed in Karachi\u2019s Model Colony. However, two passengers on board the ill-fated plane miraculously survived. Recalling the moments of the tragedy, Muhammad Zubair, the second survivor of the plane crash, said: \u201cThe entire plane was on fire, I miraculously survived. \u201cI still can\u2019t believe that I walked to the hospital after the crash,\u201d he added. \u201cEven today, I feel fear during takeoff and landing,\u201d said Zubair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- The book,\u00a0\u201cSeat 1C: A Survivor\u2019s Tale of Hope, Resilience of Renewal\u201d, authored by PIA crash survivor\u00a0Zafar Masud\u00a0was unveiled during an event organised by \u201cMILKAR\u201d in Karachi on Saturday.
