Glacier destroys 100 Chitral houses
CHITRAL: At least 100 houses were destroyed due to sliding of a glacier in Breeb village near Chitral on Friday. The glacier broke and moved towards Breeb village, causing heavy flood and damaging 27 shops. Around 200 houses were evacuated. The Chitral administration and Aga Khan Foundation have begun relief work. Meanwhile, a road was inundated at Garm Chashma, which broke the land link from Kohlot to Chitral.
Y'know, we don't get very many killer glacier stories here... |
