Tragedy at Babusar Top
A surprise cloudburst near Babusar Top turned a scenic day into a nightmare on Monday, leaving three tourists dead and at least 15 missing. In the latest Babusar Top Flood News, massive landslides and flash floods tore through the narrow mountain roads of Gilgit-Baltistan. The water came down fast and hard, washing away over 15 vehicles and shutting down roads at multiple spots. People barely had time to react.
7-8 KM Cut Off, Vehicles Buried in Debris
The impact spread over nearly 8 kilometres, with 14 to 15 points on the road blocked by falling boulders and thick mud. Rescue teams recovered three bodies from the floodwater, while others searched through piles of stones and mud for missing vehicles.
Tourists stuck in the area were later shifted to safe shelters in Chilas, officials confirmed.
One Injured, Many Stranded
One injured tourist is being treated at the Regional Headquarters Hospital. Authorities say some areas still can’t be reached due to large rocks and broken roadways.
The Karakoram Highway remains closed at two dangerous points: Lal Pahari and Tatta Pani, where floodwater caused visible damage.
Emergency Declared in Chilas, Roads Still Unsafe
In the wake of the Babusar Top Flood News, the local government declared an emergency at Chilas Hospital, preparing for more patients if conditions worsen. Search teams continue to look for the missing, but progress remains slow. With the threat of more rain looming, rescue operations are becoming increasingly dangerous.
People have been warned to stay away from Babusar and Kohistan unless it’s absolutely necessary, more landslides could hit without any warning.
Victims Identified
Authorities have confirmed the identities of two victims:
- Mashal Fatima from Lodhran
- Farhat Islam from Bahawalpur
The third victim hasn’t been officially named yet. Relatives have been contacted, and local officials are helping the families arrange the return of their loved ones.
 Relief Begins, Food & Shelter Provided
The Gilgit-Baltistan government has started handing out food packs and tents in areas affected by the flooding. Local teams are checking in on nearby villages as a safety measure.
NDMA says it’s keeping close watch. So far, roads haven’t reopened, and access to some sites remains blocked. Still, teams are working non-stop to find survivors and clear pathways.
Voices from the Valley, Real Fear on the Ground
Locals living along the route confirm the intensity of the Babusar Top Flood News, saying they’ve never seen water this aggressive. “It sounded like the mountain cracked,” recalled an elderly resident near Lal Pahari. “People were shouting, some barefoot, just running anywhere to get out.”
Shopkeepers in nearby towns closed early, fearing another wave. Guesthouse owners said tourists were in shock—calling families, crying, and trying to salvage whatever was left.
Teams Working Through the Night
Despite blocked roads, rescue and army teams continue to clear routes by foot. Volunteers have joined the effort with shovels and ropes. Some drones are being used to find isolated groups cut off from towns.
Search teams say they’re using everything they can, even mobile towers and heat sensors, to trace signs of life.
Stay Alert, NDMA Warns Citizens
Amid the ongoing Babusar Top Flood News, authorities are urging people to stay cautious. Residents are being told to avoid risky routes, especially near rivers and mountains, as the ground remains unstable and more rain is likely. Even a minor cloudburst could trigger another landslide. Emergency helplines are active, and response teams are on standby, but terrain and weather are slowing movement. Officials warn against trusting WhatsApp forwards or unverified posts. Stick to updates from NDMA or the local administration. As night falls again in the valley, families sit quietly, phones in hand, waiting, praying, hoping someone picks up or calls back from the other side.
