Travellers urged to exercise caution as rain, snowfall raise landslide risks in north
The National Urgent condition response management Body (NDMA) has advised the general to exercise caution, as rain and snowfall are expected across northern Pakistan through Public demonstration 16, raising concerns over glacial lake outburst floods, landslides, and travel disruptions.
In a special message shared with press channels, an NDMA representative stated local administrations and relevant departments have been instructed to remain prepared and maintain vigilant monitoring.
The risk of glacial lake outburst floods and landslides may rise in mountainous regions as a new spell of rain and snowfall is expected, representatives stated, adding that the weather system is likely to affect Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir and the upper districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from today through Public demonstration 16.
According to forecasts, rain and snowfall are expected in several areas of Gilgit Baltistan, including Gilgit, Astore, Diamer, Skardu, Hunza, Ghizer and Shigar.
Similar conditions are predicted for parts of Azad Kashmir, including Muzaffarabad, Bagh, Poonch, Haveli, Kotli, Bhimber, and the Neelum Valley.
