NDMA advises travelers to remain vigilant as rainfall increases the risk of landslides across key mountain routes in northern Pakistan.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a landslide alert for the JSR/Skardu–Rondu Road, warning that persistent rainfall and ground erosion could trigger hazardous conditions across northern Pakistan over the next two days.
According to the National Emergencies Operation Center (NEOC), the weather situation is consistent with its earlier forecast, with increased risks of landslides in Skardu and surrounding areas, including Bromdo Nala, Chamcho, Malupa, and the Dambudas–Tormik–Haramosh section.
The advisory warns that erosion in local streams, along with the movement of soil and rocks, may further increase travel risks on mountain roads. Tourists and commuters have been urged to avoid unnecessary travel and exercise extreme caution while passing through landslide-prone areas or near unstable slopes.
The NEOC said it is continuously monitoring potential hazards and ensuring timely dissemination of information to relevant authorities. Meanwhile, the NDMA has directed local administrations to remain prepared for any emergency response if conditions deteriorate.
