Snow flakes drape Chitral white

 

CHITRAL, 13 Nov 08:  Snow fall on the Lowari pass (10 inches reported) blocked the road and cut off the district from rest of the world. It also cut off Electricity supply leaving Chitral both under snow and darkness Wednesday night.  Chitral town which usually does not recieve snow in this month was draped in white Thursday morning though the snow flakes are likely to melt in a few hours but higher areas of Mastuj subdivision and Garam Chashma area have received the full dose of winter snow. Blockade of the Lowari pass and outage of electric supply from down country both highlight the need for early utilisation of the Lowari tunnel and enhancement of indigenous hydel power stations in the district. --(CN report)
