CHILAS: More than 80 houses were gutted in a fire in Niyat Maducas area of Gilgit-Baltistan’s Chilas city on Saturday.
The residents of the area tried to control the fire on their own as there was no communication system in the area and no roads to transport essential items.
The victims are still waiting for help under the open sky.
Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Gulbar Khan has already taken notice of the fire incident and directed the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Diamer to submit a report after a complete investigation into the horrific incident.
