Locals along Hoper nullah left to fend for themselves
GILGIT: In spite of unprecedented flooding in the Hoper nullah — 25 episodes in a period of one month —, there has been no response by the authorities concerned as not a single official visited the area to ascertain the magnitude of the disaster, leaving the people of the downstream areas at risk of possible flash floods. Locals say flooding in the nullah used to be occasional during the peak summer season in August, but this time, the stream remained flooded from July 22 till August 30 — a phenomenon attributed to GLOF events.
