CHITRAL: Four persons, including two brothers, were killed when an avalanche hit a pasture in Shishi Koh valley Sunday, police and local people said on Sunday.
They said a group of people had gone to Goren Gol to bring back their animals from the summer pasture when the avalanche buried four of them alive.
