The National Highway and Motorway Police (NH&MP) on Monday issued a travel advisory for commuters using motorways at the end of Eidul Azha holidays. A spokesman for the NH&MP said that motorways and highways are expected to see heavy traffic as people head back to their cities and workplaces. To avoid accidents and delays, NH&MP urges all travelers to take some basic safety steps.
