Ashriat people demand for civic amenities.
CHITRAL: Ashriat is gateway of Chitral while entering in scenic
valley. The valley surrounding high and rich forest from four sides
there are so many fountain of milky water in mountains but 5000
population of Ashirat are totally deprived from potable drinking
water. There is no facility of modern era in the whole valley. A basic
Health Unit (BHU) existing there but it also running without any
Doctor and only a non local midwife and medical Technician are
treating of thousands of people. Although these BHU have been handed
over to Peoples Primary Health Initiative Program (Formerly President
Primary Health Initiative program which had launched by the then
president Parvez Mushraf) but mostly of these BHU are deprived from
Doctor. Qazi Sharif Ahmad a prominent social worker of the area told
this scribe that although this is a gateway of Chitral and when any
VIP visiting Chitral he pass through this valley and we time and again
request them for uplifting this valley but nothing have been done
until now. He said that there is no Doctor (male or female) in the
whole valley and in case of emergency we shift our patients to Drosh
or Chitral hospital but some time our patients or injured persons
expire on their way before reaching to hospital due to dilapidated
condition of road. He said that this is main Peshawar Chitral road but
have big ditches in its middle. As well as there is no parapet and
protection wall on road side towards the river.
Its only veterinary dispensary also deprived from all basic facilities
neither there is any medicine nor any other facilities for cattle of
these people who mostly depend upon their cattle and farming. A large
number of people are compelled to travel outside the valley to gain
their livelihood because there is no job opportunity for the youth of
Ashriat. After winding up machinery and other material of a foreign
construction company who were working on Lawari tunnel and the work
has been suspended for the last two years due to no fund and Korean
company shifted their machinery to some other place and that is why a
large number of our youth were jobless Qazi Sharif added. He said that
although the valley have rich forest but we people were not benefited
as return by taking our timber. Our women are compelled to bring
drinking water in pitches from a long distance on their heads he
disclosed.
There is only one government high school for boys only but nothing for
girls except primary one and that is why our young girls are setting
in boys high school to get their education under co-education system
despite the conservative mind of people Qazi Shafiuddin Head master of
Govt. High School Ashriat said that hundred of students are reading
here and mostly our students comprising over girls because there is no
separate school for girls. He said that there is no Science laboratory
nor library for students of science classes. A student of class 10th
Miss Zaibun Nisa told this scribe that she want to become a Doctor but
there is no facility to continue our science education nor there is
any science laboratory so how we can fulfill our dream in present
situation it is not seem to become a Nurse. Besides it hundred of
girls students coming to boys school from more than 15 kilometers and
mostly they travelling by feet because there is no school Bus for
them. Sher Habib Jan advocate told that although we dislike to send
our daughters to boys school but there is no other option except this.
He said that people of the area suffering from numerous problems but
unfortunately our elected representatives never visit the area to
listen our problems. Social and political circle of the area have
demanded from Federal as well as Provincial government to provide them
basic facilities and civic amenities because they are also loyal
Pakistani and having the right to entertain all basic facilities of
modern era.
