Pakistan Army Continues Rescue Operations In Rain-affected Areas

Pakistan Army took immediate steps and removed the obstacles from the road with heavy machinery and restored the traffic.

The Pakistan Army continues its rescue operations in the rain-affected areas of Swat, Dir, and Chitral. Collaborating with district administrations and other rescue agencies, the army has restored traffic on several roads in these regions.

One significant achievement was the reopening of the Chitral to Peshawar road, which had been closed due to landslides. Prompt action by the Pakistan Army, utilizing heavy machinery, cleared the road of obstacles and facilitated the flow of traffic.

In addition to rescue efforts, the Pakistan Army is extending assistance to tourists in the affected areas.

Furthermore, the Frontier Works Organization (FWO) has successfully rescued tourist families who were stranded near Khunjerab Pass after an avalanche blocked the road yesterday. The avalanche, spanning 150 meters, trapped over 60 vehicles and more than 180 tourist families.

Using heavy machinery, the FWO cleared the avalanche, allowing for the resumption of traffic. Pakistan Army medical teams are providing aid to the stranded tourists, who faced health risks due to the harsh cold weather conditions.
