According to Rescue 1122 Manshera, the glacier fell and crushed the group of travelers. The victims were identified as 35-year-old Tahir, 13-year-old Abu Bakr, and 22-year-old Tayyab. All three were from Lahore and had come to enjoy the scenic beauty of Naran – not knowing that nature had something devastating in store.

The bodies of the deceased have been shifted from Naran to Lahore. The incident has not only saddened the families but has also raised serious concerns about tourist safety in mountain areas as glacier melting and climate-related events become more frequent.

This heartbreaking incident highlights the growing risks of climate change in Pakistan’s northern regions. As temperatures rise, glaciers are melting and becoming more unstable, leading to sudden collapses that can be fatal for unprepared tourists. Naran, once considered a peaceful and scenic escape, is now facing natural threats linked to global warming.

Authorities must now take urgent steps to map dangerous zones, issue real-time warnings, and guide tourists about which areas are safe to visit. Tragedies like this serve as a reminder that beauty often comes with risk, especially in regions vulnerable to environmental change.
