UN Secretary-General calls for end to retaliation cycle

Flooding caused by heavy rains has once again disrupted the lives of residents in the Drosh area. The recent downpour led to floods in various nullahs and streams, resulting in road blockages and leaving passengers stranded for hours. The situation has prompted the C&W department to deploy machinery for road clearance, although work is currently halted until the floodwaters recede. Additionally, efforts are underway to desilt and clean the Drosh Goal drainage nullah and implement channelization measures to prevent future damage.

Local residents are urging the government to take swift action to restore the road and provide compensation to those affected by the floods. They are also advocating for ongoing development projects in the region to alleviate their hardships. The area, plagued by natural disasters, faces challenges such as a lack of basic amenities including electricity, mobile phone coverage, and internet connectivity.

Meanwhile, amidst these local concerns, the UN Secretary-General has called for an end to the 'dangerous cycle of retaliation' in the Middle East. In sports news, Pakistani cricketer Rizwan has set a new record by surpassing the fastest runs milestone previously held by Babar Azam and Virat Kohli in the recent Pakistan vs. New Zealand match.
