The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Saturday issued an alert for glacial lake outburst floods (Glofs) in the upper regions of the country, including Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, due to a fresh westerly wave expected during the coming week.

A Glof refers to the sudden release of water and debris from a glacial lake, leading to the loss of lives, property, and livelihoods in mountain communities. Over 7.1 million people in GB and KP are vulnerable to the phenomenon, according to the Ministry of Climate Change.

In an alert issued on Saturday, the department said partly cloudy to cloudy weather accompanied by moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms was expected to affect the glaciated valleys of GB and KP.

Villagers stranded after flash floods wash away bridge over Haro River​

Recent rains wash away the makeshift bridge over Haro River near Hassanabdal. — Dawn

TAXILA: Thousands of residents of several villages along the Punjab-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa border have been left isolated after a makeshift crossing over the Haro River at Kohlia near Hassanabdal was washed away by flash floods triggered by recent monsoon rains, reviving long-standing demands for the construction of a permanent bridge.

The destruction of the temporary crossing has severed the main link connecting the villages of Kohlia, Gaar and Jhamra in Punjab with Ghazi in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, forcing commuters to travel several additional kilometres through alternative routes to reach schools, workplaces, markets and health facilities.

Residents said the collapse of the crossing has badly disrupted everyday life, particularly for students, patients requiring urgent medical care, government and private sector employees, farmers transporting produce and other daily commuters.
