KAGHAN, Jul 24 (APP):The Kaghan Development Authority (KDA) Wednesday has launched a significant operation to break and remove melting glaciers at various locations to ensure the safety of tourists. This initiative is being carried out under the directives of Director General KDA Shabbir Khan.
Deputy Director Ameen-ul-Hassan, following the instructions, has formed a specialized team led by Building Inspector Faizan Khan. The team is actively engaged in the removal of melting glaciers using heavy machinery. These glaciers pose potential threats to thousands of tourists visiting popular spots in the Naran Valley, including Chitta Katha Lake and the Saif-ul-Muluk Road.
The administration has issued a cautionary advisory to all tourists. Visitors are strongly urged to refrain from taking
photographs on melting glaciers due to the prevailing weather conditions. Additionally, tourists are advised to avoid dangerous routes prone to sliding to prevent any possible accidents.
Due to increasing temperatures in the region, glaciers at various tourist spots in Kaghan and Naran have started melting. A couple of days ago, two tourists from Punjab were buried under the snow while taking photos when a glacier suddenly collapsed, resulting in their tragic deaths.
