Miraculous water pump functioning in Chitral

Chitral -- Zafar Bhatti deserves a medal for manufacturing a miracle pump which( without use of electricity, diesel, or any other fuel) can throw water to great heights. His father late Major Aziz Bhatti Shaheed is the recipient of Pakistans highest gallantry medal the Nishan-i-Haider.
 

Zafar has chosen Chitral as his place of choice to install and demonstrate his very first pump. The pump was successfully installed and tested today, 20 march, at the hydro- electric site of Hindukush Heights hotel at Singoor.
 

Using a water head of no more than 35 ft it was able to deliver water at a site half a kilometer away and 500ft high.
Zafar modestly says " this is actually a technology invented and used a hundred years ago. I have only made improvements and added features to suit the terrain of Pakistan and the conditions prevailing here". True. The hydraulic ram pump lost its use when electricity was invented. Electricity was cheap and plentiful. Now when it is neither people like Zafar are trying to re-introduce alternate energy measures. He is already working on providing lighting through solar energy but, sadly, is running into difficulties with the Federal Board of Revenue who control some of the items he needs to import.
 

Chitral wishes Zafar well. He has already won over hearts in Singoor village where he has donated and installed a special hand pump ( another one of his inventions) to give water to five homes which until now had no source of running water in the houses.
 

Zafar intends to have an outlet for his products in Chitral. Any one interested should contact him on his phone number in Lahore 042-35600165 (4lines) --(Siraj Ul Mulk, Chitral, 20 Mar 2011)
