Three main highways connecting Baluchistan to the
rest of Pakistan have been closed after suffering damage during the recent
floods and heavy rainfall.
According to details, thousands of passengers have been left stranded near
fort ‘Manro’ at Dera Ghazi Khan, which connects Punjab with Baluchistan, as
Baluchistan remained disconnected from the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, National Highway 50 (DI Khan-Kuchlak, Quetta) was blocked due to
landslides in Dhana Sar Town in Baluchistan. Moreover, massive flooding in
Musa Khail, district Baluchistan, wiped out the roads causing suspension of
traffic.
Whereas, the road network connecting Baluchistan with KP was blocked due to
soil and land erosion in the mountains of Drazanda, Sherani district.
The National Highway (N-25), also known as the RCD Highway that connects
Karachi to Quetta, continued to remain after suffering damage during rains
and floods.
On the other hand, five more people have been reported dead amid heavy rains
and floods in Baluchistan, taking the overall tally to 207, according to the
statement issued by the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).
