According to an official from the National Highway Authority (NHA), the Kaghan-Naran road is currently closed to all types of traffic due to the melting of a large glacier. The NHA official also stated that efforts are underway to clear the road of glaciers and debris at Chitta Katha on the Naran Road, as well as at Guriya Chinch Naran.
The spokesperson for the Tourism Authority, Muhammad Saad, advised tourists to exercise caution while visiting Kaghan and Naran valleys, and to avoid traveling to Naran until the road is cleared. He also mentioned that the district administration, NHA, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tourism Department, Tourism Authority, and Kaghan Development Authority are working together to prioritize the clearance of the road.
