Punjab Map Alternative Routes Amid Foggy Conditions

RAWALPINDI:
The Punjab Highway Patrol Police (PHP) has been instructed to identify alternative routes in anticipation of potential motorway closures due to low visibility caused by fog. This initiative aims to ensure smooth traffic flow and minimize disruptions for commuters across the province.

Superintendent of Police Headquarters Kamran Akhtar, representing the Additional Inspector General of the Punjab Highway Patrol, communicated these directives to regional officers. The PHP is tasked with preparing a comprehensive traffic diversion plan, which includes mapping link roads and establishing diversion points. A detailed report outlining these arrangements is expected to be submitted to PHP Headquarters within two days.

This proactive measure comes as the National Highways and Motorway Police may close certain motorway sections during foggy conditions, necessitating the diversion of traffic to alternative routes, some of which fall under PHP jurisdiction. The PHP’s efforts are aimed at alleviating potential traffic congestion and ensuring the safety and convenience of citizens during adverse weather conditions.

Moving forward, the PHP will implement these plans to maintain order on the roads and prevent any traffic disorder. Authorities are emphasizing the importance of advance preparations to address any challenges that may arise during foggy weather, ensuring that citizens can travel safely and efficiently.
