                          Garam Chashma road -letter

 

I intend to highlight the poor condition and slow pace of removing snow from the Chitral Garamchashma road and mention the problems that the people are facing. The people of the area have been looking towards the local government and emerging political figures to resolve this issue.

 

It has been noted that all other valley and link roads are now open while Garamchashma road is still blocked. District Government approach seems to be discriminative as far as maintenance of roads and re-construction is concerned; Garamchashma Road is given no attention in the pretext of unjustified reasons like non availability of bulldozers, budget and forecast of snow fall and tricks from our political leaders.

 

It is rather shocking to mention here that due to prolonged blockage of the Garamchashma Road lasting from January 7 till this date, a dead body of a soldier of the Chitral Scouts and another dead body from the DHQ Chitral were carried all the way through to Garamchashma and Karimabad on foot. Number of critical patients among whom, one patient who was admitted in DHQ Chitral lost his life after being carried home on foot, A pregnant lady also was deprived of her child on her way to DHQ hospital near Shogore village.

 

There are several other evidences of such complex problems related to survival of the people that the poor people have been facing. Attempts to move the Local Government has been less successful, instead, different leaders use different tactics for deceiving the innocent people of the area  and their attitudes have negative affects on the moral and lives of the people.

 

Through this letter, it is requested that political figures contesting against each other need to put up solid program for the tehsil and then follow it up diligently.
