CHITRAL: Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Hidayatur Rehman has said the government has failed to help the victims of the Golen valley flood.
Talking to reports here, he said the flood caused by the outburst of glaciers damaged infrastructure, bridges and houses in the valley.
He said the authorities did not take any measures for the restoration of power generation from the powerhouse in Chitral.
The lawmaker alleged that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf got votes in the name of justice but it failed to provide justice to people.
