Malam Jabba: Case Filed Against Students For Dance Party

Malam Jabba, a hill station in Swat Valley, has been a tourist destination that attracts locals and foreign visitors, especially in winters. However, several students were booked for dancing in Malam Jabba this winter.

A case was registered against the students from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) for organizing and participating in a dance party at Malam Jabba.

The video of the party went viral on social media and eulogized by the people for organizing an event like this to encourage tourism in Pakistan.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has been planning and introducing a number of initiatives to promote tourism in the region. However, acts like these can damage the image of Pakistan globally.

KP government has proven its incompetence by filing a “dance party case in Malam Jabba” when Pakistan is in dire need of projecting a positive image across the globe to attract more foreign visitors.
