Gap between Ataabad lake water, spillway narrows


HUNZA: Ataabad lake water level is only 2 feet below from the spillway, authorities say.

If is being expected that water outflow from the landslide hit lake can spill out anytime.

On the other hand, water level continues to rise in the lake due to incessant rains recorded in Ataabad and its adjoining areas.

The deputy commissioners of Hunzanagar and Diamer closed the Shahra-e-Karokoram in the wake of red alert.

Due to unpleasant weather condition, chopper service also remained suspended during the day.

According to NDMA officials, the rescue operation could be resumed if weather situation improved.
