CHITRAL,18 Dec 08: 35 people including women and children travelling in a convoy of seven vehicles
from Chitral to Peshawar were caught in a blizzard on the Lowari pass
but due to timely attention and action by the NHA security staff, they
were rescued intact. People appreciated the efforts of the NHA
authorities for doing the needful. The Lowari pass has been closed to
all forms of Traffic with about five ft snow reported on the top, thus
physically cutting off Chitral from the rest of Pakistan. (GH Farooqi)
