Torrential rains disrupt travel across GB as floods wash away roads, bridges

Torrential rains in Gilgit-Baltistan have caused widespread travel disruptions, with flash floods and landslides washing away roads and bridges, leaving thousands stranded. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned of continued rain and potential glacial lake outburst floods until July 26. The flooding has blocked major routes like the Karakoram Highway, making it impossible for tourists and locals to travel safely. This situation highlights the vulnerability of these mountainous regions to extreme weather and the challenges they pose for infrastructure and emergency response.
