In August last year, eight volunteers died in Gilgit while repairing a flood-damaged nullah. These incidents highlight the risks faced by people in rain-affected areas.
Eyewitnesses said the Kohat landslide struck suddenly while locals were repairing a water channel. Tonnes of earth and rocks buried several individuals, making rescue operations difficult and dangerous.
