Authorities take steps to cope with vehicle diversion from motorways
LAHORE:
Fog has engulfed Punjab for the past several days, making driving difficult on the motorways as well as within Lahore, especially in the evening.
At least seven people were killed and 60 injured in traffic accidents caused by fog during the past few days. According to the Meteorological Department, the fog is likely to continue for about 10 more days.
Motorway police spokesman Syed Imran Shah told The Express Tribune that various portions of the motorways in Punjab are closed between 5pm and 9am depending on the situation of fog. The M2 motorway from Lahore to Islamabad, M3 from Lahore to Kot Abdul Hakim and M4 from Pindi Bhattian to Sham Kot are affected most frequently.
