Thandyani:
Strong snowfall in Thandiani and the surrounding area brought a daily life to stop, seriously disturbing the essential services and leaving the residents blocked. The current snowfall, which started on Tuesday, caused major road blockages, power outages and a suspension of mobile services and the Internet, which makes it extremely difficult for residents to access the basic necessities.
The snow has strongly touched Thandiani, Bakot, Nathiagali, Ayubie, Donga Gali and other parts of Galiyat, with more than two feet of snow accumulating in many places. This isolated the region, complicating travel and posing serious security problems. Avalanches in several places have further exacerbated the situation.
The main access routes to Thandiani and the nearby tourist destinations are completely blocked, causing immense difficulties for motorists. Many vehicles have remained stuck on snowy roads, and emergency rescue operations have been hampered by impracticable routes. Consequently, residents of affected areas face increasing difficulties.
Strong snowfall have also caused serious disruptions to feeding in many villages, leaving houses without heating in the middle of freezing temperatures. Prolonged power outages have added to misery, while mobile networks and Internet services have also been affected, making communication with expensive beings and emergency workers increasingly difficult.
District administration has mobilized snow machines to restore access to key roads, but incessant snowfall hinder progress. As more snow accumulates, the efforts of snow teams are canceled.
The authorities have issued a public opinion urging residents to avoid unnecessary trips and to take safety precautions. Travelers, in particular those who plan to visit popular tourist destinations in the Galiyat region, are invited to postpone their trips until the weather conditions improve.
The rescue teams and the emergency services are on alert to respond to emergencies, and the local authorities urged residents to obtain their supplies of essential supplies and to avoid venturing outside, unless necessary. Tourists are strongly advised not to travel under the current dangerous conditions.
District administration works with higher authorities to deploy additional resources, including more snow equipment and emergency intervention teams, to manage the aggravation situation. Despite these efforts, the heavy snow that continued to drop, the situation remains critical. Residents remain trapped in their homes, faced with difficult weather conditions and continuous disturbances of essential services.
