By Uzma Zafar

ISLAMABAD—Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Mail; Makhdoom Babar, since the worst of it's kind earthquake hit Pakistan here Saturday, has been receiving numerous phone calls for international media organizations, having no rep in Pakistan, seeking updates on earthquake and analysis on world response and ongoing relief and rescue operation.
The received calls include those from CNN Turkey, Radio Johannesburg, a German TV channel, Shanghai Morning Post, CCTV-9 and Radio New Zealand, to name a few, who called in to inquire through live updates, about the prevailing situation in Pakistan, after the tremors. The Chief briefed each one comprehensively, assisting them in their different queries.
It is pertinent to note here that many of these organizations along many others, offered to pay the DM Chief for his interviews. However, Mr. Makhdoom Babar, politely refused to accept any cash and instead he asked the respective organizations to present the amount to President of Pakistan's Relief Funds for quake victims or else, in their own respective countries' relief procedure set up for the same.
