Chitral Gilgit Road opened for light Traffic.
CHITRAL: Main road connecting Chitral to Northern Areas via Gilgit was re-opened for light traffic at Shundor Pass. The land route has been blocked for all type of vehicular traffic last year after heavy snowfall as a result not only communication between Chitral and Northern Areas disconnected but some vehicles of Northern Areas Transport Company (NATCO) also strained at Mastuj. The road had blocked after heavy snowfall at Shunter pass having the altitude of 13000 feet from sea level. Hence it was reopened for light traffic by removing snow from Shundur Top the highest polo ground of the world. Assistant Coordination Officer (ACO) and Administration Chitral Miftahuddin told this scribe. He said that at present it was opened for light traffic and would be opened for heavy traffic after a few days.
