In response to the worsening smog, the Motorway M4 from Pindi Bhattian to Abdul Hakeem closed to ensure safe travel, as announced by the Motorway Police spokesperson on Sunday evening. This measure, put in place for public safety, aims to prevent accidents caused by poor visibility.
Motorway Police are advising people to travel between 10 AM and 6 PM during the current foggy season, as visibility tends to be better during these daylight hours. The spokesperson emphasized the importance of cautious driving and recommended citizens avoid non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Travelers also reminded to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and reduce their speed on roads affected by fog and smog. Accidents are more likely in low-visibility conditions, so it’s crucial to stay alert and drive responsibly.
For any updates or assistance, the public can reach out to the Motorway Police through their helpline at 130.
