Heavy rains in Murree have caused rivers and canals to overflow, flooding areas like Kahuta GPO Chowk and Mall Road.

The situation has become more serious as landslides in Galiyat forced the closure of the main road between Murree and Abbottabad.

Due to the severe weather, authorities have ordered all schools in Murree to remain closed on Tuesday, August 19, and Wednesday, August 20.

Officials are now warning that a cloudburst could happen soon. The local government has issued alerts to both residents and tourists, asking them to be very careful.

The Deputy Commissioner of Murree has asked everyone to stay away from rivers and canals as more rain is expected in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Murree is currently facing a serious weather emergency. Continuous heavy rains have not only flooded main areas but also triggered landslides, cutting off key routes.

The closure of schools shows how urgent the situation has become. Warnings about a possible cloudburst add to the threat level.
