AYUN: Youth from a locality in Ayun on Sunday restored water supply to their area after repairing the damaged canal on self-help basis.
Huge boulders and stones along with mud had filled the canal, suspending water supply to the locality, Darkhanandeh. As a result, the residents were without water for over a week.
The volunteers of the area on Sunday gathered and started removing the debris and huge boulders from the canal and within hours cleared it of all the obstacles and restored the water supply.
Because of the incessant rains causing landsliding and flash flooding, roads and water supply networks across Chitral are damaged. The government departments are engaged in reopening main roads and other infrastructure and in such a situation local people need to work on self-help basis to cope with the situation.
