ISLAMABAD, Jul 22 (APP): The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a high-alert advisory following severe landslides that have completely blocked the Karakoram Highway (KKH) and Babusar Top in both directions, disrupting all vehicular movement.
Tourists and travelers are strongly advised to cancel or postpone trips to the northern mountainous regions, as conditions remain dangerous and highly unpredictable, said NDMA spokesman in a statement.
The Authority has emphasized that road access to several high-altitude areas is compromised, with continued risk of further landslides due to unstable terrain and persistent weather disturbances.
Travelers are urged to stay updated through official radio broadcasts and verified social media channels for the latest on road closures and restoration efforts. The NDMA has strictly cautioned against attempting detours via unverified alternate routes, warning that such paths may pose serious safety hazards.
In case of emergency, the public is instructed to cooperate fully with local administration teams and follow official directives to ensure personal safety and aid ongoing response efforts.
