Babusar Pass opens for traffic tomorrow​

GILGIT: After it was closed for traffic in October last year following heavy snowfall, the Gilgit-Baltistan authorities are all set to reopen Babursar Pass on Monday ahead of the tourist season.

After Khyber Pakhtunkhwa allowed light traffic on the highway, the Diamer administration did not allow vehicles to ply on the road fearing more landslides and avalanches. However, tomorrow, the traffic will resume on the road after clearing the way.

It may be mentioned that the highway connecting Diamer and Mansehra via Naran remains closed for traffic from every October to June.

The journey from Diamer to Mansehra takes seven hours through the pass, while the same distance is covered in 14 hours on the Karakoram Highway.

Tourism visiting scenic spots in Gilgit-Baltistan prefer to travel through the pass to enjoy the weather as well as breath-taking sights.

Diamer Commissioner Altamash Janjua said that the road has been opened for light traffic from Mansehra a few days ago, but the authorities in Diamer did not open it amid threats of snow avalanches along the road.

Meanwhile, officials concerned remained busy clearing the road by removing snow and debris.

The commissioner said that Babusar road will be opened for traffic formally from Monday and urged the motorists to drive carefully through the pass as “fear of snow avalanches was always there”.
