Madrasa Students Win Praise After Returning Rs1 Million Gold in Flood-Hit Buner

PESHAWAR – Saturday, August 23, 2025: Parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Buner, have been devastated by deadly floods caused by a powerful cloudburst. More than 220 people have lost their lives, while hundreds of families remain displaced as rescue teams continue their efforts.

Amid this tragedy, a story of honesty and humanity has won hearts across the country. While helping flood victims in Buner, a group of madrasa students discovered a box of gold jewelry worth over Rs1 million inside a collapsed house.

Instead of keeping the treasure, the students recorded a video at the spot, showing the jewelry and urging the rightful owners to claim it. The video quickly went viral on social media, where thousands of people praised their integrity during such a difficult time.

This act of honesty comes as floodwaters continue to destroy homes, crops, and roads in the region. Many families are left with nothing, depending only on relief efforts. But the gesture of these young students has become a symbol of hope, reminding people that humanity can shine even in the darkest hours.
