After heavy snowfall blocked roads leading to Murree, authorities have partially reopened the hill station’s entry points. The move aims to manage traffic and ensure the safety of residents and tourists.
The district administration stated that access to Murree will be allowed in phases. Local residents and visitors can enter gradually while road clearance work continues. Controlled entry is expected to reduce congestion and prevent accidents on slippery roads.
Heavy snowfall had forced the closure of several key routes, causing travel disruptions. Authorities said snow removal teams are using heavy machinery to clear main roads, but traffic remains slow in some areas due to thick snow layers.
A spokesperson for the district administration advised drivers to be cautious. Travelers are urged to follow instructions from traffic officials and avoid unnecessary journeys until conditions improve. Patrols by the Motorway Police and Traffic Police have been increased on major routes.
Officials said coordination among different departments is ongoing. Authorities are monitoring road conditions closely and providing timely updates to the public. Once all roads are cleared, all entry points to Murree will be fully reopened.
The administration emphasized that public cooperation is vital during severe weather. Tourists and locals are advised to use designated routes, follow traffic guidelines, and remain patient while snow clearance continues.
Authorities assured the public that continuous efforts are being made to restore normal traffic flow to Murree. The phased reopening is part of a broader strategy to ensure safety while keeping the popular hill station accessible.
