Gilgit, May 4: <\/strong>The report prepared by Dr. David Petley is wrong and the lake formed on Hunza River is not going to burst. Government experts have rejected any chance of lake burst.<\/p>\n

These views were expressed by the Deputy Commissioner of Gilgit district while briefing the media about evacuation plan set up for downstream areas, at his office. He said that necessary measures are being taken because 1300 households in Hunza – Nagar and Gilgit district would be affected by a flood that is likely to be triggered by over-topping of the lake.<\/p>\n

“There is no chance of lake outburst and we request the local populations to stay calm”, the DC, who is also the director general of district disaster management authority said.<\/p>\n

“Government of Pakistan, FOCUS Pakistan and other relevant institutions have teamed up to ensure safety of lives and property to the optimum in case of heavy flood that might be caused by over – topping”, Asad reportedly said. He also said that the 10, 000 internally displaced people will be sheltered at nine (9) relief camps after evacuation to safer locations.<\/p>\n

Commenting on removal of the Bailey Bridge in Danyore and the resulting isolation of Danyore and other localities he said that the Jalalabad – Danyore Road will be paved and expanded within a week to ensure supplies for Hunza – Nagar district and other adjacent areas.<\/p>\n

The commissioner emphasized that the measures are being taken on\u00a0precautionary basis.<\/p>\n

It is pertinent to note here that Dr. David Petley has calculated June 9 as a probable date for the spillover to take place, while also saying that the actual date might be earlier depending on volume of water in the Hunza River. He has also said that there is a substantial risk of dam burst with the passage of time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
