The bridge installed in Shahi Das Laspur Nala, initially erected for the convenience of bureaucrats attending the Shandur festival, has now become a symbol of misplaced priorities. While the local population has been demanding a sturdy and permanent bridge for years, the authorities only saw fit to install a temporary structure to facilitate the comfortable passage of officials during the festival. And now, in a bizarre display of bureaucratic extravagance, the same bridge is being tarred, ostensibly to ensure the comfort of those in power, while the people of the region continue to suffer due to lack of basic infrastructure. This egregious example of bureaucratic apathy and excess raises questions about the government's priorities and its commitment to serving the people.

- But, they failed to address the grievances of their subjects, especially the Kalash tribes
- They marginalized and displaced the Kalash, leading to resentment and rebellion
- Infighting among the ruling family weakened the dynasty
- In 1590, after 270 years of rule, the Raees Dynasty came to an end
The fall of the Raees Dynasty teaches us that even the strongest empires can crumble if they ignore the needs of their people and fail to maintain justice and inclusivity.
