  3. Dear all

    I am always praying to God that every thing will be ok Allah with us but plz all my youth of Gojal dont forget this moment and before casting your vote plz identify the person dont give vote to such nonsence person like the way we did this year.

  4. Next 4 days are very crucial. They lake will overtop the barrier…..what is to be seen is what type an dhow fast the erosion will be. There is strong chance that the errosion/barrier breach will be fast and this can generate a tsunami type of flood wave that can be as high as 40 meters at some places.
    We all should be prepared.FOCUS has done good job of marking 60 meters as safe height and along with local government in doing evacuation drills and moving people.

    I wish the NDMA would have heard and listen to advice of experts that FOCUS had called to Attabad in Febuary/March.I wish NDMA would have called the expert Chinese landslide police in January and requested their advice.

    I wish an drequest that FOCUS/NDMA/GBDMA should have an international conference on lanadslides,avalanches,GLOF in Sep/October this year to understand and address the landlside/avalanche problems of the area and draw up a long term strategy.With Gen. Nadeem now as Chairman of NDMA there is hope for people of Pakistan.FOCUS Chairperson Ms Khadija is also a very well educated and progressive professional and friend of people of GB

  7. Dear PT,

    We really appreciate your hard work for updating us about each and every situation occuring in the area. I would request you to upload some latest pictures from Shishkat too which is the largest area and population affected during the disaster. Because, PT is only the mean on which we rely for the updates.

  8. I wonder how a natural disaster of this magnitude takes place and remains more or less unnoticed by the international media. Especially considering the amount of people allready affected and those threatened by possible flooding once spillover occurs.
    So thanks for the information on PT and All The Best to the people of Gojal!
