‘He was my friend’: Father mourns newlywed son, family lost in Islamabad gas blast

ISLAMABAD: Hanif Masih, a veteran fireman with the Capital Development Authority (CDA), went to sleep late on Saturday after celebrating his son’s wedding. Shahroon Hanif had just returned from the eastern city of Gujrat with his bride, and the family was preparing for a post-wedding valima feast and a trip to Murree. By morning, those plans were gone. Just after 7 a.m. on Sunday, a massive gas leakage in the house next door in Islamabad’s Sector G-7/2 triggered a thunderous explosion.
