Chitral: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Communication and Works (C&W) Department has commenced with the reconstruction of the Chitral Airport Road, a news source reported. As per the publication, the Chitral Airport Road, also called the Garam Chashma Road, was impaired due to the overflow of water and is causing traffic problems for the local commuters.
Reportedly, the water travelled down from the mountain close to Chew Bridge and caused soil erosion on the road which made it difficult for the vehicles to move. It is also feared that the excessive water flow might carry the road down into Chitral River. The C&W team came and closed the water flow first. Executive Engineer Usman Yousaf tasked the reconstruction of the road to a contractor.
As a temporary measure, the C&W fitted a pipe on the Chitral Airport Road. The said road from Chew Bridge to Chitral Airport will be covered with concrete once the tender for the project is approved.
