The rapid melting of glaciers in Hunza has caused the water level in the Hunza River to rise, resulting in severe damage to the Karakoram Highway at Morkhun and Garcha, and the road closure has cut off land connectivity between Pakistan and China.

The situation has resulted in the rise of water level in the Hunza River to rise to a dangerous level, causing flooding in the area.

The Karakoram Highway has been completely closed at Morkhun due to river erosion, resulting in the land connectivity between Pakistan and China being cut off.
