Severe flooding triggered by heavy monsoon rains has struck northern Pakistan, particularly in the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) region, leaving at least three local tourists dead and 15 missing, according to authorities.
The floods, caused by a cloudburst at Babusar Top in Diamer district, swept away eight tourist vehicles and injured four people. Rescue operations are ongoing amid damaged roads and disrupted communications, with thousands of tourists stranded and local authorities working to evacuate them to safer locations. Several sections of Babusar Highway remain closed due to landslides and flood damage.
Meanwhile, in Naran’s Jalkhad area, roads were blocked by debris and large stones after heavy rains, though no casualties have been reported there. Efforts to clear the roads have begun, supported by heavy machinery and emergency responders.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) confirmed that these recent incidents have pushed Pakistan’s overall monsoon death toll to 188 since late June, with more than 600 injured nationwide. The eastern Punjab province has been hardest hit, accounting for 123 deaths and over 400 injuries, largely due to urban flooding.
Water levels at key points along the Indus River remain high, with low-level flooding reported at several barrages. Authorities have instructed district officials and emergency services to remain on high alert, increase patrols along waterways, and ensure efficient drainage in flood-prone urban areas.
Residents have been urged to take precautionary measures during the ongoing rains, especially avoiding risky areas and ensuring proper drainage in their homes. Officials have warned that failure to maintain adequate drainage could result in enforcement actions.
The NDMA has advised tourists to avoid visiting vulnerable destinations during the continuing monsoon season, as unpredictable weather increases the risk of floods, landslides, and glacial lake outburst floods, particularly in northern mountainous areas.
