Part of mountain collapses into river in Mansehra

A portion of a mountain in the Mohandri area of Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has collapsed and fallen into the Kunhar River.

This incident has caused cracks in the houses of a settlement located on the mountainside, leading to fear and panic among the residents, who have been forced to evacuate.

There are concerns that the collapse of the mountain into the Kunhar River could lead to the formation of a lake.

The dam created by the flood that hit Mohandri eighteen days ago has not been breached.
