Three Frontier Works Organisation workers were trapped in the spill way of Attabad Lake when they were digging the way. The workers were trapped in a place where water flow was so fast and all efforts of their rescue failed.Colonel Arif, the commanding officer of Frontier Works Organisation, decided to set himself in the water to save his men. Tying rope around his waist, the colonel went into the water to pull the stranded men out but he could not hold himself against the thrashing water flow as water swept him away. The news of his death spread like a wildfire and people rushed to the site to take part in rescue work.
