GILGIT: It was a hot sunny day of July in Khanbary, a remote valley of Gilgit-Baltistan’s Diamer district. Muhammad Asim decided to stay indoors till sunset to escape the scorching heat of the day.

However, an hour later, dense clouds suddenly enveloped the sky followed by lightning. A sudden cloudburst resulted in flash floods hitting the valley.

The climate change phenomenon is blamed for changes in weather patterns across the globe. However, underdeveloped and mountainous regions are believed to be worse victims of it.

Asim, 20, stepped out of his home to take stock of the evolving situation. He then spotted two girls, stranded in the midst of gushing water.

As he closed in on the girls, he came to know they were about five to six years of age and sitting in a dry patch surrounded by water. He thought it was a matter of time before the gushing water could erode the safe patch to sweep the girls away.
