CHITRAL, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Apr, 2024) Recent heavy rains caused extensive damage in Arandu along the Pak-Afghan border, blocking roads with debris and overflowing rivers here in Chitral on Friday.
As per details, Deputy Commissioner Chitral and Executive Engineer Shah Muhammad Thekedar initiated road-clearing operations promptly, allowing traffic to resume.
