Reshun Village Chitral: UNDP's GLOF-II Efforts & The Call for Expanded Flood Protection

#Reshunchitral #undp #GLOF-II
The beautiful village of Reshun in Chitral has been included in the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) GLOF-II initiative, which focuses on constructing protection walls to safeguard communities from floods and other natural disasters. This is a crucial step in enhancing the village's resilience, especially given the increasing threats posed by climate change.
However, following the devastating floods of 2024, the local residents have expressed concerns that the current scope of the GLOF-II program may not be sufficient to protect the entire village. They are urging for an expansion of the program to cover more areas and provide comprehensive protection against future floods and calamities. The village is particularly vulnerable due to its location, and the 2024 floods have already caused significant damage, underscoring the need for urgent and expanded intervention.
This situation highlights the importance of adaptive measures and community involvement in disaster risk reduction projects, ensuring that initiatives like GLOF-II are responsive to the evolving needs of the areas they serve.
