Tourists Stuck as Murree Receives 10 Inches of Snow

Murree, a popular tourist spot, is grappling with the aftermath of heavy snowfall, receiving more than ten inches in the past 24 hours. Stranded tourists face challenges as icy roads trigger traffic snarls, leading to breakdowns and a backlog on the Murree Expressway.

National Highway Authority (NHA) and locals are collaborating to clear the roads, but intermittent snowfall hampers progress. With power outages and soaring hotel prices, the situation intensifies for tourists.

The meteorological department predicts ongoing snowfall and rain, prompting the Relief Commissioner Punjab to coordinate efforts for effective road clearance. Islamabad authorities have restricted Murree access to 17 miles for efficient traffic management.
