A death trap in Reshun

RESHUN, Oct 26: The scenic town of Reshun is the gateway to subdivision Mastuj and the whole traffic to and from upper Chitral passes through this eye-catching land. But here is a dry Nullal which is called Domon Gol that only flows in the rainy days. When the Mastuj-bound traffic crosses Reshun, this hazardous nullah faces the commuters just like a death trap with a dangerous curve. It is beyond comprehension why the authorities concerned instead of making a bridge over the nullah have made such a road into the treacherous nullah endangering the lives of the travellers. So far, about nine people have lost their lives in numerous accidents at this point of the Chitral-Mastuj road. Besides, the authorities concerned and notables of our society have not taken the matter seriously which is indeed a disturbing issue. A bridge can be easily constructed over the nullah to ensure safety to the travellers besides facilitating smooth flow of traffic even in rainy days. Now the population of the whole area is increasing day by day and with it the number of vehicles and the volume of traffic on the road. So the chances of accidents and mishaps are also mounting. The people of the area have called upon the C&W department and the public representatives to construct a bridge over the perilous Domon Gol for the safety of the travellers.]]>
