The National Highway Authority (NHA) has reopened the popular tourist route, Kaghan-Naran Road, after a closure of 32 hours.

The Kaghan-Naran Road was stopped at five in the morning on Sunday due to large rocks and landslides at the Ghanool.

Using heavy machinery, the NHA was able to blast the rocks out of the way and make the road usable for one-way traffic, just as promised.
