According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the hill station has received about one feet snowfall, while more snowfall is expected in the coming days in Murree and its adjoining areas.
An official of Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) said, “Thousands of tourists thronged to enjoy the first snowfall of the winter at Pindi Point, Kashmir Point, the Mall and Ayubia.
He said Murree’s adjoining areas like Galiyat, Bhurban, Ayubia and Nathiagali were also expected to see a large influx of visitors next week due to snowfall.
He said that the PTDC was trying its best to facilitate tourists. He said that the PTDC had announced discount packages at the start of the season to attract tourists. “The PTDC is also in touch with local administration for the maintenance of traffic,” he added.
All restaurants were packed with tourists and the demand of woollies also goes up, as mercury falls below the freezing point.
