Heavy rain and flash floods have wreaked havoc in Gilgit-Baltistan, disrupting daily life and causing extensive damage, according to reports. Cloudbursts triggered the floods, which inundated homes, farmland, and orchards across the region. Ghizer experienced particularly severe flooding on Saturday morning, with Naubahar village bearing the brunt of the disaster. The floodwaters damaged the Gushgush Jamaat Khana, destroyed crops and fruit trees, and ravaged farmland.
In addition to the flooding, major roads were rendered impassable. The road between Immit and Barjangle was blocked by floodwaters, hindering transportation and commerce. Moreover, the KKH (Karakoram Highway) between Sost and Khunjerab Top was closed due to landslides, further exacerbating the transportation issues. Authorities are working diligently to clear the blocked route.
Hunza's KKH section between Murtazaabad and Hassanabad saw a glimmer of relief on Saturday when the road was reopened following the landslide-induced traffic blockage. Meanwhile, Babusar Top in Diamer witnessed its first snowfall of the season on the same day. Surprisingly, despite the snowfall, traffic on Babusar Road remained unimpeded.
