The first snowfall of the season fell on Babusar Top a week ago, prompting all snow-loving tourists to head toward the mountain to escape the heat and take in the stunning scenery. But this led to a lot of traffic on the freeway.
Deputy Commissioner Diamer informed the District Administration of Mansehra in this regard that traffic has become challenging due to slippage on the Babusar Top highway as a result of the recent snowfall. As a result, a regular schedule for highway travel has been established. The Babusar Top roadway would be open to all types of traffic from 6 am to 6 pm, according to this. However, at 6 p.m., Babusar Top Road traffic will be stopped at the zero point, and beyond that time, no one will be permitted to use the highway.
