Rescue Efforts Continue After Landslide in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Rescue operations are underway in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after a sudden landslide left several people injured and trapped under debris. Emergency services have been placed on high alert, and the injured were rushed to nearby hospitals for urgent treatment.
Rescue teams, aided by residents, are working tirelessly to locate those still believed to be buried under tonnes of earth and rocks. According to eyewitnesses, the landslide struck without warning as volunteers were repairing a damaged water channel. Police confirmed that four people were pulled out alive, though all remain in critical condition.
Earlier in the day, the National Highway Authority (NHA) successfully cleared the road at KM 161 in Jalkhad, which had been blocked by a landslide, restoring traffic flow. The NHA team also carried out temporary reconstruction of the Looshi Bridge, which had been washed away by heavy rains and earlier landslides, reopening it to traffic.
Meanwhile, the road at Tatta Pani, which had been cleared just two days ago, was once again blocked by another landslide. NHA teams managed to reopen it later the same day, ensuring continued travel along the route.
