Cameras to ensure around-the-clock monitoring

GILGIT: Cameras have been installed along Attabad’s landslide lake to monitor developments in the next 24 hours as lake-water remained just two metres away from the spillway.

Force Commander Gilgit- Baltistan, Major-General Qamar Javed Bajwa, on Wednesday said that close circuit cameras linked to FCNA, Gilgit and the GHQ had been fitted along the lake so that officials could keep tabs on any important developments. He said water in the lake had almost reached the spillway, so such monitoring was necessary. Officials said that the on-site measurement of the lake had been abandoned
