Slow down, a tricky road ahead!

BOONI, Jan 11: Though a few days ago during the snowfall, a number of vehicles escaped accident after skidding off the icy and sloppy portion of the Chitral-Mastuj road at Risht, still no steps have been taken to repair the road. After the recent snowfall, this half a kilometer portion of the road at Risht, situated between Charun and Kuragh, has become a danger zone. A private bank’s vehicle fell on the bank of the Mastuj River after skidding off the road at this point. People in the surrounding areas reached the spot and rescued the injured along with the vehicle. Sources said many motorcyclists have also suffered misshapes at the treacherous area. The local people and the commuters said that the local administration seemed unmoved to take steps for the safety of the citizens. As a stop-gap arrangement and after being fed up with repeated requests to the administration, the people of Kuragh and Charun brought soil and other debris in private vehicles and spread on the road.]]>
