SWAT: With the start of snow melting at the Upper Swat Mountains, the water level in River Swat rose to dangerous level spreading fears of flood in the area.

According to details, the rise of water to dangerous level in the river posed a great threat to the population living near the bank of river.The river has claimed several precious lives in the current summer season as the untoward incident happened when tourists totally unaware of the ferocity of river waves are strolling at its bank to enjoy the beauty of nature.A few days back, a tourists family came from lower region of the country to get some respite from the scorching heat to the scenic valley. They were sitting on the bank of river when a speeding wave swept them away, killing a child and injuring his father and mother critically at the Fizaghat area.

The vigorous flow of water might turn into flood, which would definitely effect the population of Fizaghat area.Recently new water walls were made to block the flow of water but it would not give protection to the area’s population from floods. Fear once again griped the local population when they heard about the news that the threat of flood is looming large. As a result a large number of people, who were living near the riverbank, vacated their houses and moved to safer places.

The local people themselves conducted relief operations in the area to protect their homes from water but the authorities responsible to protect citizen from natural disasters did not pay any attention to their problem.The inhabitants of the area demanded the KPK government to take cognisance of the situation and act timely to protect residents of the area from the flood.
