HUNZA : The water level at a landslide-triggered lake in Hunza is threateningly on the rise, as third village is faced with the deluge risk, Geo News reported Sunday.
The landslide-generated lake on January 4 not only destroyed Ata Abad village but also completely inundated two Gojal villages i.e. Aieenabad and Shashkat.
The threatening water level may inundate Gojal tehsil headquarter of Gilmat, as the low-lying areas are already under water.
Residents of Atta Abad area of Hunza were given a deadline of May 15 to vacate the area over expertsââ¬â¢ concerns that the Atta Abad lake dam may breach soon.
According to the experts, the water level in the lake has risen, which may lead to a breach in the dam.
Local administration issued an advertisement ordering residents to move to safer areas.
Two days earlier, Director General Frontier Works Organisation and the head of the engineer corps had also directed locals to take necessary steps in this regard.
Cheers
