In a move aimed at ensuring public safety, the provincial government has imposed a temporary travel ban on tourists visiting Naran and surrounding areas in the Kaghan Valley. The ban comes after weather conditions worsened, with heavy rainfall and the risk of flash floods posing significant dangers to visitors.
Local authorities have urged all travelers to avoid the region until conditions improve. The decision was made in consultation with meteorological experts, who have forecasted more rain and the possibility of landslides in the area. The region, known for its picturesque landscapes, has seen a surge in tourist traffic in recent years, but current weather conditions have made it unsafe for travel.
Officials have set up checkpoints at various entry points to monitor and enforce the ban. They have also advised tourists to stay updated on the weather situation through official channels and refrain from attempting to enter the area under any circumstances.
The government has assured that efforts are underway to manage the situation and ensure that local residents are not adversely affected. Meanwhile, authorities are working on enhancing the region’s infrastructure to better cope with extreme weather conditions in the future.
