At the south of the village, a huge avalanche had piled up on the road cutting it off from the rest of the world. After the calamity, government and NGO officials visited the area and relief items were distributed among the affected people. However, the government did not send any machinery to open the only road to the village blocked by the avalanche.
Member of the tehsil council from Beshgram valley, Muhammad Ali Shah, said the elected members of the area arranged local labourers to remove the snow and got the road open. He said the tehsil administration had promised that wages would be paid to all those who had worked to open the road after removing the snow.
Mr Shah said the removal of the snow from the road was the responsibility of the local administration as it possessed machinery such as tractors etc., but the labourers opened the road manually after 20 days and should be paid for the work.
Janu Khan, a resident of the village, said that the road to the area was very dangerous and the possibility of any fatal accident cannot be ruled out. He said the Chitral Scouts had delivered some basic medicines at the village but no other government or private sector organization took any step for providing healthcare facilities to the people.
