Hundreds of people of Mastuj Tehsil of Upper Chitral District under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ismail Wali started construction of 30 km road of Mastuj on their self help basis. . Earlier that , a briefing ceremony was held near Mastuja Bridge in which Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ismail said that since not a single kilometer of (blacktop) road was paved in the entire Upper Chitral district, there was a risk of frustration and revolt among the youth. I want to divert the emotions of these frustrated youth towards positive work so that conditions like Balochistan and Bangladesh do not arise here. This campaign was started with prayers words. .
Hundreds of people from Mastuj marched towards the road with their spades, shovels, tractors, trolleys and other equipment to blacktop the road on self-help basis. , the volunteers began repairing and constructing the 30-kilometer road themselves.
Talking to our correspondent, Prof. Ismail said that we do not challenge the government’s red nor do we revolt against the government’s allies but our objective is that Pakistan has given us a lot and now Pakistan’s economic situation is weak. That’s why we want to help the government. In the first phase, the road will be repaired, leveled and then it will be blacktopped. So far we have not solicited donations from no body but if anyone wants to donate voluntarily they will be welcomed.
Former Tehsil Nazim Shahzada Sikandar-ul-Mulk said that we had built this road 25 years ago and we were looking forward to the government agencies that maybe they will come and help us but in the last 20 years no government has paid attention to this road.
