He said that for the last many weeks, trucks carrying essential commodities for Chitral could not enter Chitral from the Dir side. He alleged that some government officials were deliberately trying to create a famine-like situation in Chitral. He said the district with a population of about 0.7 million was being kept deprived of all essential food items as the area remained cut-off from the rest of the world due to the closure of roads.]]>
