Following continuous torrential rainfall in Murree and surrounding areas, District Police Officer (DPO) Dr. Muhammad Raza Tanveer has put security and traffic police on high alert due to the risk of flash flooding and landslides.
Murree Police are utilizing all available resources to ensure the safety, smooth transit, and assistance of citizens and tourists amid adverse weather conditions.
Highlighting the field operations and traffic management strategy, DPO Murree stated that personnel from both the District Police and Traffic Police have been deployed across the region.
Although rain has slowed traffic flow, traffic wardens remain stationed at key intersections, roundabouts, and dangerous curves to maintain movement.
Police officers are present on major highways to guide travelers and provide emergency assistance.
Outlining critical locations and current weather impacts, the DPO identified six major areas, including the Expressway, Lehtrar/Lecot, Masiari, Basantal Mor, and Mughalabad, where streams are overflowing.
Furthermore, heavy water flow along Angoori Road, 17 Mile, and the Salgran GT Road has increased the risk of falling rocks and mudslides. Police and district administration are continuously monitoring these vulnerable points to respond promptly to potential hazards.
Issuing safety guidelines for tourists and locals, DPO Dr. Muhammad Raza Tanveer advised avoiding non-essential travel until weather conditions improve, exercising extreme caution on hilly routes, particularly the Expressway and Angoori Road, and staying clear of natural drainage channels.
He assured the public that Murree Police remain fully prepared to assist citizens, urging anyone in need of emergency help to immediately contact the police helpline at 15.
