| 2005-07-16 | |
 CHITRAL: At least 100 houses were destroyed due to sliding of a glacier in Breeb village near Chitral on Friday. The glacier broke and moved towards Breeb village, causing heavy flood and damaging 27 shops. Around 200 houses were evacuated. The Chitral administration and Aga Khan Foundation have begun relief work. Meanwhile, a road was inundated at Garm Chashma, which broke the land link from Kohlot to Chitral.

| #5 So, if this story happened in 1980, it's because of the imminent IceAge and today, it's due to world wide warming. I get confused. So, remind me again: What am I supposed to be scared of this week? |
