DIR: Upper Dir district administration has imposed section 144 across the district banning constructions on riversides.
A press release from the deputy commissioner office stated that the section 144 would be implemented for one month.

Also, the litter of those buildings make the river water dirty, which harms both humans and aquatic life.
Hamid said for the purpose of saving environment, public property, preventing floods, they banned construction of buildings along riversides in the district.
Meanwhile, on the directives of the deputy commissioner, officials visited markets and slaughterhouses in Dir and Wari tehsils.
