08-Mar-2006 -- This confluence attempt was made as part of a mission to assess and map the road to Shera Kot. As part of the relief effort in response to the October 8, 2005 earthquake in northern Pakistan, helicopters were being used to deliver aid to the Shera Kot area. We wanted to determine to what extent road transport could be used instead. Our mission was a success in that we mapped the road, but it didn't put us within striking distance of the confluence. Due to security restrictions, we had to return to our base before nightfall which did not leave us enough time to walk to the confluence. The UN Joint Logistics Center is responsible for mapping and assessing infrastructure in the Pakistan operation.
