MURREE, JUL 13 /DNA/ – District Police Officer (DPO) Murree, Dr. Raza Tanveer, has issued a comprehensive traffic advisory for tourists arriving from across the country, stating that extensive road carpeting and repair work are underway on the Old GT Road.
Due to these construction bottlenecks, the flow of traffic has been severely affected; therefore, national and local tourists are strongly advised to completely avoid this route and opt for the Murree Expressway and alternative link roads to escape construction delays and traffic congestion.
In a special video message, DPO Murree emphasized that the Murree Expressway currently stands as the only safe and recommended route to enter the district. Acknowledging that the sudden influx of nationwide traffic has shifted entirely to this single highway, he noted that Murree Police have actively deployed personnel and prioritized traffic management on three key link roads Bustan Mor, Masiari Link Road, and Jhika Gali Road to facilitate smooth access to central and tourist areas of the city while easing temporary pressure on the Expressway.
The DPO appealed to families and citizens travelling from far-flung districts to actively monitor live traffic indicators via Google Maps before and during their journey. Furthermore, he urged travelers to download the official Murree Police mobile application, ‘Safe Tourism Murree’, which provides real-time, one-click updates regarding traffic status, weather updates, parking capacity, and emergency assistance.
Dr. Raza Tanveer reiterated that both the district and traffic police teams are deployed on high alert around the clock to ensure the uninterrupted flow of traffic.
He concluded by stating that the primary objective of the Murree Police is to promote national tourism and provide a peaceful, secure environment for visitors, welcoming citizens from all over the country to visit Murree and allow the police to serve them.=DNA
