Severe Floods Block Tangy-Tashqurghan Highway, Stranding Hundreds of Passengers
Following intense flooding, the Tangy-Tashqurghan highway has been completely blocked since last night, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded on both sides of the route in uncertain conditions. Reports indicate that vehicle traffic has come to a halt, forcing travelers to spend the night on the road.
Several eyewitnesses have sent videos to the media describing the difficult situation faced by passengers, noting that families, women, and children are among those trapped. They have warned that the lack of basic necessities and delayed assistance have heightened concerns.
The Tangy-Tashqurghan highway is one of the key transit routes in the north of the country, connecting several provinces. The closure of this road not only complicates travel for passengers but may also impact the transportation of commercial goods.
Despite several hours having passed since the crisis began, no clear details have emerged regarding the Taliban authorities’ efforts to reopen the route or deploy rescue teams. Local residents and passengers are calling for immediate action, the dispatch of technical equipment, and effective crisis management from the relevant officials.
