Chitral: Authorities concerned on Monday inaugurated work on the Golen Gol Water Supply Scheme in the district, a news source reported. According to details, a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) event on July 8, 2019 had destroyed the scheme.
Sources revealed that after damage to the Golen Gol Water Supply Scheme, around 40,000 people of Chitral Town stopped receiving clean drinking water. The residents of the town area were getting water supply from the Angar Ghon Water Supply Scheme from time to time. However, the residents of Koghazi to Danin areas were facing difficulties due to lack of sufficient water.
On the other hand, the GLOF event had also destroyed the water resources of the 107MW hydropower house and washed away the irrigation pipeline.
Earlier, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Communication & Works (C&W) Department had also begun the reconstruction work on the Chitral Airport Road – also referred to as the Garam Chasma Road. The road had suffered soil erosion due to water travelling down from a nearby mountain.
