LEEPA VALLEY (Kashmir English): Traffic has now been restored on the Reshian-Leepa Road in Azad Jammu and Kashmirs (AJK) Leepa Valley, following a temporary suspension caused by a landslide near turn number four. The road, which serves as the main artery to and from the valley, had been partially blocked due to falling debris, severely affecting movement in the area for a brief period.
The local administration reports that a previous landslide triggered this road disruption which resulted in travel disturbances for individuals navigating through the Leepa region. The Roads and Highways Department with support from Pakistan Army troops quickly removed all debris from the site.
Engineers maintained continuous operations on the designated area by operating heavy machines for clearing debris which tested the path’s safety for vehicles. Local administrations supervised this operation closely together with efforts to make the road operational in both a quick and secure manner. Their continuous work brought success when the entire route became functionally accessible to transport vehicles.
The Tehsil administration addresses travelers that the Reshian-Leepa Road requires careful navigation through the location surrounding turn number four where the landslide took place. The restored road path is accessible yet drivers should stay cautious because environmental elements continue to present potential safety hazards.
Residents together with visitors welcome the return of normal traffic flow with great relief. Access through the Reshian-Leepa Road is essential for the region so any interruptions even of brief duration lead to extensive delivery problems especially when substitutes exist only as difficult routes or not at all.
The disastrous landslide proves that mountain pass roads become susceptible to catastrophic earth movements throughout seasonal change periods. The incident underscores the necessity of swift actions and connected teamwork between departments to keep Leepa Valley accessible to remote areas.
People in the area are thankful for the prompt response from authorities who successfully kept connectivity interruptions brief. The area undergoes continuous observation from authorities for additional risks with pre-established response plans in place for potential incidents.
