HUNZA:

A fresh wave of flash floods on Wednesday forced authorities to halt repair work on the Karakoram Highway (KKH), leaving thousands of passengers, including local and foreign tourists, stranded at multiple points across Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B).

Rescue 1122 confirmed the flood situation in Gulmit Gojal in Hunza, stating that the restoration work on the KKH stopped after floods hit Juchar Nullah. G-B government spokesperson Faizullah Faraq said rehabilitation efforts were under way in the flood-hit areas across the region.

"Rehabilitation work on KKH is in full swing at Gulmit Gojal. Passengers and vehicles are waiting for the road to be restored on both sides of the KKH," he said, adding that stranded people were being moved through an alternative wooden bridge route.

Faraq said that the authorities had been instructed to speed up work in Shigar, Ghizer, Hunza, Gilgit, Astore, Diamer and other affected districts. He stressed that the worsening situation was linked to the climate crisis. "The rehabilitation work is facing difficulties due to increasing water flow, river erosion and landslides."

Meanwhile, the disaster, triggered by the melting of Hunza's Shisper Glacier, continued to intensify. According to Faraq, more than 15 houses have been destroyed in Hasanabad, Hunza, due to severe riverbank and land erosion. "Life in Hasanabad has come to a standstill," he said.

The situation worsened after an increase in water flow washed away additional sections of the KKH, disrupting connectivity. The spokesperson said that the highway has been partially closed at another location, adding to the challenges for residents and relief teams.

The intensity of both riverbank and land erosion has forced dozens of families in Hasanabad to abandon their homes. "Some residents have begun dismantling their own houses to salvage usable materials," the Gilgit-Baltistan government spokesperson confirmed.

Relief operations have been accelerated, with teams working to provide immediate assistance to the displaced. "We will not rest until all affected families are rehabilitated," Faraq vowed.

Infrastructure damage

According to the local administration in Gojal, thousands of travellers, including those en route to and from China via Khunjerab, were stuck on both sides of the closure with no alternative route available.

The flood also caused major utility disruptions, damaging the optical fibre network and cutting off mobile and internet services in parts of Hunza.

"The increasing water level in the Khunjerab River damaged the electricity transmission near Sost town, which caused electricity disruption in areas," officials said. Heavy machinery has been deployed in an effort to restore traffic along the KKH.

Rescue 1122 reported that the flash flood was triggered by heavy glacial melting on Tuesday evening. "The flash flood intensity was high. The flood damaged a bridge and washed away a portion of KKH," its statement read.

The torrent destroyed vast swathes of land and infrastructure in Gulmit, sweeping away "thousands of kanals of land, trees, irrigation channels and private and public infrastructure". A popular roadside restaurant, a government-owned tourist facilitation centre and other nearby structures were also lost to the waters.

"The flood destroyed thousands of kanals of forest and fruit trees, orchards, three link roads, three wooden bridges, five irrigation channels, electricity and internet poles," the agency said.

Rescue 1122 said more than 50 people narrowly escaped tragedy during the flood. "Around 60–70 people repairing water channels narrowly escaped disaster after a last-minute warning from someone, who spotted dust clouds racing ahead of the torrent," it reported.

标题:Heavy downpour triggers flash floods in Abbottabad, disrupts traffic and injures 2

时间:2025-8-14 18:30:00

正文:

A spell of heavy downpour lashed various parts of Abbottabad district on Thursday, triggering flash floods that severely disrupted traffic flow and caused damage to infrastructure.

Monsoon rains, which fall across the region from June to September every year, continue to lash many parts of the country. Starting in late June, Monsoon rains have wreaked havoc across the country in the past month by triggering deadly floods, landslides and displacement, particularly in vulnerable, poorly drained, or densely populated areas.

The torrential rains led to the blockage of the Karakoram Highway (KKH) at multiple points within Abbottabad city, leaving commuters stranded for hours.

According to local authorities, all major nullahs and ravines in the district, including the River Door, swelled beyond their banks, creating dangerous conditions for nearby residents and motorists.

The sudden surge of water from the upper catchment areas inundated low-lying localities and washed debris onto the KKH, making several stretches impassable. Rescue and relief teams, along with the traffic police, were deployed to clear the road and assist stranded passengers.

In one tragic incident, two passengers sustained injuries when the boundary wall of a residential house collapsed on a passing vehicle in Abbottabad city. Eyewitnesses said the wall, weakened by continuous rainfall, gave way suddenly, crushing the roof of the vehicle. Both were taken to Ayub Medical Complex, where their condition is reportedly stable.

Local residents reported widespread flooding in streets and markets, causing damage to shops and homes, while the electricity supply was also disrupted in several areas due to rain-related damage.

Authorities have advised the public to avoid unnecessary travel, especially along flood-prone routes, and to stay clear of water channels.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned of more rain in the coming days, prompting the district administration to remain on high alert for possible landslides and further flooding.

Last week, it was reported that over 71 people have died over half of them children and another 86 have been injured in rain-related incidents across Khyber Paktunkhwa since the start of the monsoon season in late June.

标题:Another flood severs Karakoram Highway; Sutlej banks being evacuated

GILGIT / LAHORE: Hun­dreds of travellers and tourists were stranded in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) on Wendesday after a glacial lake outburst flood (Glof) swept away part of the Karakoram Highway (KKH), while authorities in Punjab ordered communities along the Sutlej River to evacuate amid forecasts of heavy monsoon rains and floods.

In Gulmit, Gojal, Hunza, a powerful torrent surged through the Juchar nullah on Tuesday evening, triggered by accelerated glacier melt.

The floodwaters destroyed a women-owned restaurant, a government tourist facilitation centre, orchards, farmland, and critical infrastructure including electricity and internet poles, according to Rescue 1122 officials.

A bridge and sections of the KKH were swept away, leaving no alternative route for locals and tourists travelling to and from China via the Khunjerab Pass.

Never experienced such intensity of floods in the nullah, Saeed Jan, a local resident, told Dawn.

The destruction of a fibre optic line has left the area without mobile and internet services, while rising water in the Khunjerab River damaged a power transmission line near Sost, plunging communities into darkness.

Efforts to reopen the highway have been repeatedly hampered by rising water levels and mudflows, with even foot crossings for patients and travellers now deemed impossible.

In Hunzas Hassanabad, erosion linked to outburst flooding from the Shishper glacier continued on Wednesday, dismantling two more houses and putting others at risk.

Power to Roshanabad Mohallah was cut after an electricity pole collapsed. With a section of the KKH already washed away, traffic is being diverted through the Sas valley in Nagar.

Flash floods also struck Shigar district, damaging homes and property in Dogoro village of Basha, while a glof in the Horchas nullah damaged crops and blocked the road leading to K2, according to local officials.

Faizullah Faraq, spokesperson for the Gilgit-Baltistan government, said rehabilitation work is underway across affected areas, but warned that climate change-induced disasters have changed the map of Gilgit-Baltistan, with high river flows, erosion, and landslides complicating repairs.

Passengers and vehicles are waiting for the road to be restored on both sides of the KKH, he said, adding that the chief minister has ordered efforts to be expedited in Shigar, Ghizer, Hunza, Gilgit, Astore, Diamer, and other districts.

Evacuations in Kasur

Meanwhile, in Punjab, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has ordered the immediate evacuation of people living along the banks of the Sutlej River in Kasur district, warning of significant flooding as a powerful monsoon spell approaches.

The flow of the Sutlej is expected to increase next week, coinciding with the seventh and strongest spell of monsoon rains this season, which has already been linked to 164 deaths across Punjab.

There is a possibility of further increase in the flow of the Sutlej River next week, and citizens are requested to immediately move to safer places, PDMA Director General Irfan Ali Kathia said, during his emergency visit to Kasur.

The PDMA director convened a high-level meeting at the deputy commissioners office in Kasur to address the potential flood situation.

Officials are racing to clear storm drains and reinforce embankments, with the upcoming monsoon forecast to bring intense rainfall from August 13-17 in upper Punjab, followed by extended downpours in other areas from August 18-21.

Major urban centres including Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Sialkot face threats of urban flooding, while the PDMA has also warned of landslides in Murree and Galliyat.

The monsoon season has so far killed at least 164 people, 582 rain-related injuries, damaged 216 homes, and resulted in the loss of 121 livestock, according to recent data.

River monitoring stations show low-level flooding on the Indus River at Kalabagh, Tarbela, and Chashma, with Tarbela Dam currently at 96 per cent capacity.

Kasur Deputy Commissioner Imran Ali said comprehensive preparations have been made to handle a potential flood, with de-silting of drains underway, machinery available, and staff deployed. Adequate arrangements have been completed to deal with the flood situation at all sensitive places, he said.
