Dear all, I do share ur pain and sympathies with the affectees of Atta’abad and all those who have suffered in one way or the other. Atta’abad disaster is not an end in itself. There may be many many Atta’abads here and there in Gilgit-Baltistan, but we are unaware of. Natural processess are blind to human sufferings, but humans may exacerbate such processess and accelerate the pace, unknowingly. We all cry for those who fell victim, but my question is, ” was Att’abad worth a place for human settlement?” My simple answer is No. We all live in an area where we are highly volnerable. Now people have started to construct houses in places, especially in Gilgit which used to be streams during flooding in summers, but they feel as if nothing would happen for ever, for there might not be flooding for some years due to climatic factors. We must strive to create awareness and educate people about possibilities of any sort of disaster. Risks are there, but we don’t know about the timelime when the risk would turn into a disaster, it may happen while i am writing these comments and may not for hundreds of years, but who knows, like people of Atta’abad, for they also lived there for quite some generations. Let us ponder and debate since this is one of most of important contemporary discourse for all of us. Atta’abad disaster has been affecting people living hundreds of miles away in one way or the other.
We will have to learn living in mountains safely and help others to do the same, for natural processess are beyond human control but not beyond human influences. Thanks

We all condemn it strongly that the pak Govt is still lethergic despite of what is happening in this part of the world.The natives of the upper hunza Gojal are facing convenience problems as they are cut away from the country,basic necesities are not available,students are left from their studiesand so much more. .this is the self Govrnance given to This part?it seems a drama Just hope now left is Allah. .

This is with reference to Mr. Ejaz Karim’s report regarding the disaster occured at Ata Abad Hunza. We must emphesize to the authorities wether they are Local or National level should take necassary and wise steps to chanalise the disastrous situation in the light of geological experts to save further more areas which are suposed to be come under effect. which Mr. Ejaz has notified in his statment.

Thanks.
