The inaugural workshop of the "Water for Development" project was launched today in Gilgit, marking a significant step towards promoting sustainable development in Gilgit-Baltistan.

The project’s scope includes the establishment of two new laboratories in Gilgit-Baltistan for phytopathology and zoology, alongside strengthening existing glaciology and water quality laboratories previously set up by EvK2CNR and UNDP with Italian Government support.

The project will also conduct scientific studies on glaciology, water resources, and the diseases affecting livestock and plants.

This integrated model will connect local communities with the tourism industry, leveraging local knowledge and skills to contribute to economic development.

Road accidents and safety

2024-06-27T05:53:00.002+05:00

According to experts, 90% of accidents are due to negligence of the driver. Only 10% of accidents occur due to technical errors. Technical issues can include road design, weather effects including brake failure. Experts further say that by following the directions and warnings written on the roads, accidents can be reduced to a great extent. If a place has a speed limit of 30 km per hour and a car is driven at a speed of 80 km per hour, then an accident is certain. Failure to follow instructions is also one of the main causes of accidents. Public transport drivers should not be allowed to drive for more than 8 hours out of 24 hours but unfortunately such rules are not enforced at all. Apart from the government bodies, the passengers also have the responsibility to keep an eye on the driver and give instructions to the driver to follow other road safety measures including over speeding.
