Summary

This photograph was taken while the landslide was taking place near Attabad village. Photo by Inayat Ali (Shimshal). In January 2010, a large landslide in Northern Pakistan caused enormous disruption. The landslide at Attabad remains unresolved, such that it affects the daily lives of thousands of people. The ever-impressive Pamir Times, and various other newspapers in Pakistan, are now reporting another valley-blocking landslide in the same region, this time at Shigar in Skardu District.
