SHANGLA: A landslide on Thursday in Kuza Awarai resulted in the death of one woman and injuries to four others. The incident occurred as the women collected clay for household use when the ground collapsed.
Five women went to the area to gather clay for traditional stoves and other domestic items when the ground gave way beneath them. Local residents quickly rushed to the scene and pulled all five women from the debris. Rescuers then transported them to Tehsil Headquarters Hospital in Puran for treatment.
Tragically, one woman later succumbed to her injuries. The remaining four were treated by doctors, with one critically injured woman being referred to Swat for further medical care.
