<p>Provincial public works director Muhammad Iqbal told reporters that snow-hit roads in Thiora, Charsada, Tholak and Pasaband districts had been cleared.</p>
<p>But acting police chief Col. Abdul Rashid Bashir rejected Iqbal’s statement, saying roads in several districts remained closed, as contractors were unable to remove the snow.</p>

<p>Roads between Thiora, Shahrak, Tholak, Saghar and Pasaband districts remained blocked, he added.</p>
<p>Col. Bashir said roads in Dolina district were opened with joint efforts of police and contractors three days ago, but roads in Charsada district remained closed.</p>
