Protest

The Torkhow road issue is raising concerns as residents threaten to block the Chitral-Mastuj-Shandur road if construction work does not begin soon. With the Shandur Polo Festival 2025 set to start on June 20, any disruption could cause major inconvenience for both local and international tourists, impacting the economic sector as well. Authorities have been urged to resolve the matter swiftly, ensuring smooth travel for festival attendees and safeguarding the region’s tourism industry.
