Ghazar Shandur Road Again Faces Severe Flood Risk, Threat of Land Route Cut Off

Yasin (Syed Maraj Ali Shah), secretary of information for the Pakistan Peoples Party in Ghazar, warned that due to the administration’s and District Disaster Management Authority’s criminal silence, the Ghazar‑Shandur Road at the Roshni Talidas site is once more under serious danger and could be washed away by the Ghazar River at any moment. In a statement, Ali Ghulam said that from the first week of May a significant rise in water flow in the Ghazar River is expected, which could again submerge the stretch of road rebuilt temporarily last year beyond the Roshni Bridge, engulfing it in the waters of Roshni Lake. He added that without timely action the land connection to the area may be severed, causing severe hardship for the public. Criticising the administration’s performance, he noted that an entire season has passed with no permanent road construction measures taken. According to him, this negligence not only aggravates public problems but also sets the stage for major losses in any emergency. Ali Ghulam stressed that the administration now has limited time and the next two weeks are crucial. He demanded the immediate construction of an alternative route at Roshni or effective water‑supply management to lower the level of Roshni Lake, thereby averting potential hazards. He warned that failure to implement prompt measures could trigger strong public backlash, for which the responsible agencies will bear full responsibility.
