FWO works to reopen KKH

GILGIT—The Frontier Works Organization (FWO) has launched a drive for opening of the Karakoram Highway (KKH) between Pakistan and China, which was closed for traffic after land-sliding at several places triggered by the Saturday’s killer quake. According to a FWO spokesman hundreds of FWO personnel have started work with heavy machinery and bulldozers to remove boulders from the highway that connects the northern territories with rest of the country.—Agencies
