ALERT – Over 1 Lakh Cars Already in Murree

And we have a traffic advisory for you if you want to enjoy snow falling and travel to northern areas. According to our Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, around 1 Lakh cars have already entered in Murree. So, if you want to go, plan accordingly.

Although the minister has credited the rush to the improved lifestyle of the masses, but this is another debate altogether. We are sharing the news to warn you against travelling to those areas. Hundreds of people and cars stuck in the hill station every year due to heavy snow, but it seems people don’t learn from the past. These jams cause serious inconvenience to people, authorities and cars as well.

The travel advisory will help tourists avoid traffic jams and enjoy the weather. The police have requested the drivers to keep in their lanes, avoid violating the traffic rules to get ahead, stay patient, and save each other time.
