LAHORE: A thick blanket of fog plunged parts of Punjab into darkness, forcing the Motorway Police to close key highways including Motorway M-11 and Motorway M-2.
The sudden closures left countless commuters stranded and disrupted early morning travel across the region.
A Motorway Police spokesperson confirmed that the decision was taken to prevent fatal accidents, warning that even a moment’s negligence in such conditions could lead to disaster.
With visibility dangerously low, authorities issued an urgent advisory: Travel only in daylight, ideally between 10 am and 6 pm. Use fog lights both in front and behind vehicles. Avoid unnecessary travel and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
Officials stressed that these measures are crucial as Punjab’s winter fog routinely leads to serious road accidents, turning highways into high-risk zones.
Motorway police urged all commuters to remain alert and call helpline 130 for real-time updates or assistance, as the fog continues to wreak havoc across the province.
