KARACHI, Sept 10: Sindh Minister for Culture and Tourism Rauf Siddiqi said here on Monday that development work at Gorakh Hill tourist resort in Dadu district had stopped because of the landslides caused by recent rains.
Addressing a press conference after discussing the status and progress of the work on this project at a meeting, he spoke of many options, including blasting, for the removal of mounds.
