Blocked traffic diverted to alternative route

Report GH Farooqui, Chitral

Tehsil Nazim Chitral Sartaj Ahmad Khan opened the blocked traffic in Shelly village in front of Ayun by diverting it through the nearby land of the local people.
Traffic had been blocked due to continuous land sliding in the village for the last one week due to blasting of a mountain to widen the main road by the National Highway Authority.
Hundreds of vehicles going to wards Chitral and Peshwar were waiting on both sides of the road.
The tehsil nazim had requested the local people to allow the vehicles to pass through their land as an alternative to the main road. The NHA has started work for constructing a bypass road via Shelly village and Chitral river.
