ISLAMABAD: Two Turkish engineers – Genk Yakin and Ufuk Arsalan – have left indelible imprint on the minds and hearts of Pakistanis and survivors of last year’s devastating earthquake when they died in Balakot with their boots on.
Geological engineers by profession, they had come to Pakistan on a Turkish project to search and rescue quake survivors and erect shelters for them.
In November, their tent caught fire while they were asleep and the two suffered fatal burn injuries, making the supreme sacrifice for the calamity-hit Pakistani brethren."
