A major landslide in the Mahandri area of Balakot is causing a mountain to slide into the Kunhar River, putting over 40 households directly at risk. The shifting terrain could create a new lake in the Kunhar River, causing widespread concern among local residents. The continuous landslide is obstructing the river's flow, raising fears of potential changes in the river's course and the formation of a new lake, which could severely impact lives and property. Residents living on the mountain are already facing structural damage to their homes, with visible cracks forcing many to evacuate. The situation remains critical as authorities and locals brace for further developments.
