| Thousands marooned in Gandakha |
| 2010-08-22 |
| [Dawn] Thousands of people were marooned in up to 10-foot-deep waters in Gandakha town on Saturday as rescue work could not be launched even though 24 hours had passed since the inundation of the tehsil. The town cut off from the rest of Jaffarabad district was facing a shortage of food, drinking water and medicines. About 70 per cent of the town's people had left for safe places themselves, while others were awaiting government help and had taken refuge on high grounds in the west of the town and on roof tops of buildings. |
