  1. According to the meteorological department of Pakistan, coming months of July and August will be crucial,temperature will be raise and glaciers will be melt,so there will be glacier out burst and floods in most part of GB.

  2. I know nothing about the politics that have been lately going on at your site, nor about the people who have taken over. It is none of my business.
    More and more news about Islamabad, which one can get from other sources, less and less news about the Hunza-Gilgit area, which are not available elsewhere.
    For months now, we have got absolutely no news through your site about the landslide which occurred over two years ago nor about the situation after the latest efforts to lower the lake. How come?
