MANSEHRA: The Mansehra administration on Tuesday closed the Naran-Babusar road to all types of traffic due to heavy snowfall received in the tourist destination.
A notification was issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Mansehra in this regard, stating that due to heavy snowfall, the valleys of Kaghan and Naran have been shut for tourists and visitors.
It said the road from Naran Kaghan to Babusar Top has also been closed to all kinds of traffic as the area has been experiencing heavy snowfall and chilly weather conditions.
The Mansehra DC has also advised travellers to use the Karakoram Highway (KKH) for any movement towards parts of Gilgit Baltistan.
Police personnel posted at Thana Naran have been brought back due to the severe weather. All police check posts beyond Kaghan have been temporarily removed.
No security staff will be present at these posts or in the adjoining areas.
Sources in the DC office say that Kaghan and Naran valleys should now be considered closed until spring.
Temperatures are expected to drop further in the coming months, and for public safety, these valleys and other high-altitude areas will remain off-limits to visitors.
