Due to recent heavy snowfall in Chitral, the roads of Bomburat Valley, Rambur, Ursun, Sheshi Koh, Janjirit Koh, Beuri and other areas had been closed for all types of vehicular traffic. Contractor of NHA cleared the snow from the main highway of Peshawar Chitral and the roads inside Chitral bazaar, while the C&W department( Communication and Works) is clearing the snow from other valleys.
On the direction of Executive Engineer C&W Department Tariq Murtaza and SDO Drosh Waqar Khan, contractor Haider Ali of Drosh Construction Company opened the road from Bomburit valley to Anish, Rambur road to Pondak and Sheshikoh road to Patigal after clearing snow. However, due to continuous land sliding, glaciers on the Sheshikoh road and huge rocks are obstructing the cleaning work.
Officials of the concerned company worked hard day and night to open the road to Ursun Valley, Jangerit Koh and Beuri for all kinds of traffic. According to local people, the roads of Kailash valley are with the National Highway Authority, but the snow is being cleared from these roads by the C&W department. At present, the roads of Garm Chashma, Karimabad, Sosum, Madagalsht etc. are still closed. However, the Missionaries of the C&W Department are working continuously. It is hoped that very soon the road to Shishikoh will be completely opened for all types of traffic. It will reduce the problems of the people.
