Severe snowfall has caused major disruptions in Murree and Galiyat, leading authorities to ban tourist entry for safety reasons. The decision was made to prevent accidents and manage the situation effectively.
Road Closures and Travel Restrictions
Officials have confirmed that the Murree Expressway is blocked from the Satra Meel Toll Plaza. Heavy machinery is being used to clear the roads, and salt is being spread to reduce slipperiness. Despite these efforts, travel remains highly risky due to the extreme weather conditions.
In Galiyat, authorities have imposed strict entry restrictions from Barian and Harno. The roads in these areas have become dangerous due to continuous snowfall, making travel nearly impossible. Strong winds and dense fog have further worsened visibility, increasing the risk of accidents.
Power Outages and Rescue Operations
Several areas in Murree and Galiyat are facing power outages due to the harsh weather. Officials have placed rescue teams on high alert to assist stranded travelers and restore road access. Authorities are working around the clock to clear major routes and ensure public safety.
Public Advisory

Authorities are doing their best to restore normalcy, but for now, safety remains the top priority. Tourists are urged to wait for official updates before making any travel plans to Murree and Galiyat.
