PT Report

Ghulkin, May 3: A link road between Hussaini and Ghulkin village of Gojal has been complete and opened for light traffic. The two villages had been disconnected due to submergence of the Karakuram Highway.

The link road will facilitate residents of Gojal Valley as well as the business community. The link road is, however, vulnerable to GLOFs originating from a glacier located between Ghulkin and Hussaini. Already a number of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) have taken place, considerably damaging trees and the land.

This shows the strength of UNITY. We congratulates to every individuals who participated voluntarily in this Great cause.

The title seems a bit irrelevance because this road facilitation the 27,000 population of Gojal not only Ghulkin and Hussainee.

Also it contribute the movement of the people of China and Pakistan in their movement and business.

A historical coherence of volunteer and BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE THE PEOPLE.

Our salute goes to all the people whom donated their lands for this road without any compensations.
