Dense Fog in Punjab Plains, Grounding Motorway Traffic

A Sea of Fog: Punjab Wakes Up to No Visibility

A blanket of fog has engulfed Punjab‘s plains, causing heavy damage to the daily routine and traffic. In Lahore, the visibility has decreased to as low as a hundred meters in many areas, thereby posing a risk to commuters and closing off long stretches of the road.

Motorway Closure: A Cautionary Measure

The Motorways Police have proved that many sections of the motorway are quickly closed due to near-zero visibility. The closed routes are:

-M-2: Closed from Lahore to Kot Momin
-M-3: Closed from Lahore to Abdul Hakeem
-M-4: Closed from Faisalabad to Pindi Bhattian
-M-5: Closed from Multan to Uch Sharif

These closures aim to prevent accidents since the fog persists in limiting visibility across key highways. Travelers are advised to delay their journeys and remain indoors until conditions ease up.

Lahore becomes The Hub of Poor Visibility

In Lahore, the fog is especially dense, with visibility degrees shedding to a necessary one hundred meters in some areas. The city’s residents have stated challenges in navigating neighborhood roads, whilst emergency offerings stay on excessive alert for viable incidents.

Public Advisory: Stay Safe During Foggy Conditions

Authorities are urging residents to workout caution. If journey is unavoidable, motorists are recommended to:

• Use fog lights and drive with headlights set to low beam.
• Maintain a protected distance from other cars.
• Steer clear of dashing and harsh maneuvers.
• Be updated through valid bulletins by the Motorways Police.

Weather Condition: When Does the Fog Begin to Clear?

Meteorological experts believe that the foggy conditions are most likely to remain in place until a significant change in weather patterns, like rain or an increase in temperature, clears the moisture from the air.
