Harno River
The Harno River, together with the Daur river, is one of the principal watercourses of Abbottabad District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[1]
Illegal construction in and along the river, as well as unauthorised mining on its banks, has disrupted the natural flow of water.[2] In 2025, several structures along the river were demolished during an anti-encroachment operation carried out by the district administration.[3]
Formerly a popular tourist and picnic destination, the area 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northeast of Abbottabad has faced increasing pollution, leading to the degradation of its natural environment.[4][5]
