Ismail, 22, resident of Mirgatkhel area, said his eight-year-old brother Samiullah was killed in the earthquake. Ismail, recently married, said his own house was destroyed.
He said the government officials made many pledges but none was fulfilled and his house was still collapsed.
Living with a 23-member family, Ismail says he managed to reconstruct only one room and rest of his family members are still living in tents. Only medicines were provided to them so far, he added.
His first demand from the future president is the provision of shelter.
