Khaplu: The family of a missing man whose body was discovered on a melting glacier in Pakistan after 28 years said its recovery had brought them some relief.
The body of 31-year-old Nasiruddin was spotted by locals near the edge of the shrinking Lady Meadows glacier in Kohistan region, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
He and his brother had fled to the mountains after a dispute in their village in 1997 when he fell into a crevasse. His brother survived.
Nasiruddin, who went by one name, was a husband and father of two children.
His well-preserved body, still carrying an identity card, was found on July 31 by a local shepherd and buried on Wednesday. — AFP
