Authorities have placed Murree on high alert by enforcing Section 144, banning rallies, protests, and gatherings of more than four people until May 5. The move comes as part of precautionary steps to maintain law and order in the popular tourist destination.
Section 144 is commonly used by local administrations across Pakistan during sensitive situations. It allows authorities to restrict public movement and gatherings to prevent unrest, ensure public safety, and manage large crowds.
Officials have warned that strict action will be taken against anyone who violates the restrictions. Law enforcement agencies have been deployed across key areas in Murree to monitor activity and ensure compliance with the orders.
Along with security measures, the administration has also introduced a detailed traffic management plan. Murree often sees heavy tourist inflow, especially during holidays and weekends, which can lead to congestion and safety risks. The plan aims to control traffic flow and provide a smoother experience for visitors.
Authorities say the restrictions are temporary and necessary to avoid any disruption during the current period. Tourists have been advised to follow guidelines, cooperate with officials, and plan their trips accordingly to avoid inconvenience.
