The Murree district administration has imposed Section 144 and announced a detailed traffic management plan ahead of the Eid holidays to handle the expected surge of tourists. The measures aim to ensure public safety, prevent congestion, and maintain order in the popular hill station.
Section 144 Imposed
Under Section 144, the authorities have banned the display of weapons, aerial firing, and the use of loudspeakers without permission. The order also prohibits parking on main roads and restricts the movement of heavy vehicles during peak hours. Violators will face legal action, including fines and imprisonment.
Traffic Plan Details
The traffic plan includes designated one-way routes, parking areas, and entry points for vehicles. Visitors are advised to follow the prescribed routes to avoid fines. Key roads such as Mall Road and Kashmir Point will be one-way from morning until evening. Shuttle services will operate from parking lots to popular spots to reduce congestion.
Parking Arrangements
Several parking zones have been set up at Kuldana, Chitta Mor, and other locations. Visitors are encouraged to use these designated areas and avoid roadside parking. The administration has also deployed traffic wardens and police personnel to manage flow.
Public Advisory
The district administration urges tourists to cooperate with authorities, follow traffic rules, and avoid unnecessary travel during peak hours. Emergency services, including ambulances and rescue teams, will be on standby. Citizens are advised to stay updated through official announcements.
These steps are part of ongoing efforts to improve tourist experience and safety in Murree, which sees heavy footfall during holidays.
