Sleeping Management of Hunza -Nagar District and sleeping people of Gojal,,
What is the impact of the recent discharge of dam water without blast. As per the local media of Gilgit, the Force Commander and Chief Secretary are visiting Hunza-Nagar District and most probably will visit Gojal. There must be a serious discussion with the Force Commander Gb regarding the toptal failiure of FWO in deepening the spillway as being a commercial entity of Pak Army.FWO has a longterm plan to reinstate its existance in GB and to prolong the attabad project to get the contract of repaire work of KKH Khunjerab-Raikot section after completion of the KKH improvement project. FWO is also planning to get the Skardu road expansion project as it has already submitted a low tender to get the project to keep CRBC or other parties out.This corrupt mafia has nothing with the sufferings of our local people as the people of GB has witnessed thier corruption on KKH from Khunjerab to Thakot for a long long time.
