Mansehra: Traffic between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) resumed on Monday after the Mansehra-Naran-Jalkhad (MNJ) Road was cleared of debris from a massive landslide that had blocked the route for three days.
According to Assistant Commissioner Balakot Nadar Khan, heavy boulders and rocks brought down by the landslide in the Hassa area near Balakot were removed after continuous efforts by the local administration. “Traffic between both the federating units has now resumed,” he told reporters.

The landslide struck on Saturday, cutting off movement through the Kaghan Valley. During the blockade, light vehicles were diverted via the Hassa suspension bridge, while heavy traffic, including trucks, buses, and coaches, was rerouted through Garhi Habibullah.
With the reopening of the MNJ Road, normal traffic flow between KP and GB has been restored, bringing relief to travelers and transporters affected by the disruption.
