Thick fog and cloudy weather have engulfed several parts of Punjab, reducing visibility to dangerous levels and forcing authorities to close multiple motorways to ensure motorists’ safety.
The Motorway Police announced the closure of M2 from Lahore to Kot Momin, M3 from Lahore to Samundri, M11 in Sialkot, and M4 from Pindi Bhattian to Faisalabad due to poor visibility.
Officials advised that safe travel hours in foggy conditions are from 10am to 6pm. In addition, Sundar, Manga Mandi, Phool Nagar, and Pattoki on national highways also experienced zero to 100 metres visibility.
