Pakistan’s northern and upper regions have suddenly experienced a return of cold weather, as heavy rain and snowfall disrupted daily life in many areas. The unexpected weather change caused problems for residents and travelers, especially in hilly regions.
In Murree, two people lost their lives in a weather-related incident caused by strong winds and heavy rainfall. The harsh conditions made the situation dangerous, particularly in exposed and mountainous locations.
Hailstorms continued throughout the day in several areas, adding to the severity of the weather. The combination of rain and hail also triggered landslides in nearby regions, creating further risks for people living there.
Due to these landslides, several important roads were blocked, making travel difficult and unsafe. One of the affected routes was the link road from Lawrence College Road to Pangan Dhak Jhika Gali.
The blockage of this road caused major disruptions for commuters and tourists, leaving many stranded or forced to take longer alternative routes.
Local authorities have advised residents to stay cautious and avoid unnecessary travel during such weather conditions. Emergency teams are working to clear roads and restore normal traffic flow, but challenges remain due to ongoing rain and unstable terrain.
This sudden change in weather highlights the risks faced by people living in mountainous areas, where conditions can quickly become dangerous. It also shows the importance of staying informed and taking safety precautions during extreme weather events to avoid accidents and protect lives.
