After the heavy rain and hailstorm, the staff of Abbottabad Cantonment Board later midnight started rescue work at Tarkhanna Niazi Colony where the incomplete work of the National Highway Authority (NHA) caused difficulties for the Cantonment Board due to the flash floods coming from the District Council areas to the Cantonment board areas.
The Vice Chairman ACB Fawad Ali reassured the residents of Niazi Colony that the Cantonment Board stands with its people in every difficulty, we will contact NHA to expedite the completion of work on under construction sewerage system on both sides of the Main Mansehra Road so that the flood waters from the District Government can be controlled.
