Entry of Tourists Banned After Landslides in Major Northern Area Destination
The district administration has imposed an immediate ban on tourist entry into Galiyat, Abbottabad, following landslides and traffic disruptions caused by recent snowfall on Murree Road.
Authorities have restricted tourist movement from Harno and Barian toward Galiyat as a safety precaution, after reports of snow accumulation and landslides in the area. The measure aims to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of travelers amid hazardous road conditions.
The decision comes as cold weather returns across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with rain and snowfall affecting both upper and plain regions since last night. Snowfall continues in popular destinations including Malam Jabba, Kalam, Mahodand, Kaghan Valley, Shangla Top, Yakhtange, and Achrosara, highlighting the need for strict travel restrictions in northern areas.
Tourists are advised to avoid travel to snow-affected regions until authorities lift restrictions and roads are declared safe for movement. Local administration continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates on reopening routes.
