Heavy fog blanketed several regions of Pakistan, leading to the closure of key motorways and causing significant disruptions to traffic. The closures were announced by motorway police as visibility dropped to dangerously low levels in affected areas.
Motorways Impacted by Dense Fog
- Motorway M3:
- Closed from Faizpur Lahore to Dera Khana due to severe fog.
- Motorway M4:
- Shut down from Pindi Bhattian to Multan, as confirmed by motorway officials.
- Motorway M2:
- Blocked from Lahore to Hiran Minar, further straining travel plans for commuters.
Traffic Disruptions and Challenges
The closures have caused widespread inconvenience for travelers, especially during the busy holiday season. Motorway police have advised citizens to exercise caution and avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary.
Foggy Conditions Worsen Across Multiple Cities
A few days ago, similar dense fog conditions were reported in several parts of Pakistan. Cities like Islamkot, Nangarparkar, and Deeplo experienced thick fog, which not only reduced visibility but also intensified the already chilling cold weather.
Stay Safe on the Roads
Motorway authorities have urged drivers to:
- Use fog lights while driving.
- Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
- Refrain from speeding during foggy conditions.
Travelers are also encouraged to stay updated on road conditions through official channels and avoid unnecessary journeys until visibility improves.
