Pak Army Rebuilt This Earthquake Damaged Area Into A Model Village [Photos]

Pakistan Army has rebuilt a village of Awaran district’s Mashkai tehsil that got damaged in the 2013 earthquake, turning it into a model village.

Mashkai is located along the northern fringes of Central Makran range. Its two villages, Nojko and Jebri, were the epicenter of the said earthquake that entirely eroded its socio-economic fiber.

As is usually the case, the army was called in for relief operations and improvement in the security situation. Along with that, it also planned to construct a model village to settle the displaced families.
