Cholera has broken out in Murree - Pakistan's only major hill station and a tourist resort - and has claimed some 18 lives over the last fortnight. According to reports, many of the victims, belonging to far flung areas of Murree, died on their way to the only civil hospital in the district which is ill-equipped to fight the disease.
