Snowfall and Power Outages Paralyze Mohmand District Amid Severe Cold Wave
Snowfall continued unabated on Thursday across the border and mountainous regions of Mohmand district, leading to a significant plunge in temperatures and exacerbating the cold spell gripping the area. The higher elevations of Elazai, Karonda, Matai, and Sheikh Baba were completely covered in a thick blanket of snow, while intermittent rainfall was observed in the lower-lying zones. This harsh weather pattern has severely disrupted normal daily life, with residents finding it increasingly difficult to perform routine tasks due to the freezing conditions.
Transportation and Movement Severely Impacted
In the more remote and isolated localities, movement and transportation have been particularly affected, adding to the challenges faced by local communities. The adverse conditions have made roads treacherous and inaccessible, further isolating these areas and compounding the difficulties for inhabitants who rely on regular travel for essential needs.
Prolonged Power Outage in Ghalanai Adds to Misery
Meanwhile, residents of Ghalanai and its surrounding areas have been grappling with a complete lack of electricity for the past week. This extended power outage has caused widespread inconvenience, disrupting not only daily household activities but also business operations in the region. The absence of electricity has left many without heating, lighting, and other basic amenities, intensifying the hardship during this cold spell.
Appeals for Government Intervention
Local residents have urgently appealed to the government and relevant authorities to restore the power supply at the earliest possible opportunity. They emphasize the critical need for immediate action to alleviate the suffering of the affected population, who are already struggling with the severe weather conditions. The combination of snowfall and power outages has created a dire situation that requires prompt attention and relief efforts.
