DPO Murree Dr. Muhammad Raza Tanveer Sapra Issues Comprehensive Safety Guidelines Amid Snowfall and Heavy Tourist Influx
*MURREE | December 21, 2025*
District Police Officer (DPO) Murree, *Dr. Muhammad Raza Tanveer Sapra*, has stated that while enjoying the scenic beauty and snowfall of Murree is a right of every tourist, ensuring their safety and a secure journey remains the top priority of the Murree Police. Following the onset of the season’s first snowfall, the district police have been placed on high alert to protect tourists from any untoward incidents or traffic-related difficulties. DPO Murree is personally supervising all arrangements and has directed police personnel to assist visitors with the utmost courtesy and a spirit of hospitality.
Referring to the extraordinary rush of tourists over the past Saturday and Sunday, Dr. Muhammad Raza Tanveer Sapra noted that a large number of visitors remain in the city even after the weekend. In response, the traffic management plan has been further intensified. He warned that snowfall causes slippery road conditions and urged citizens to mandatorily use *”snow chains”* on their vehicle tires and avoid unnecessary overtaking. The DPO emphasized that parking vehicles along the roadside for photography creates major bottlenecks; therefore, tourists must use only designated parking areas.
Furthermore, the DPO advised travelers to ensure their vehicles are in top mechanical condition—specifically checking heaters, wipers, and lights—and to maintain an ample supply of fuel before entering the hilly terrain. He also shared critical health advice, urging tourists to take special care of children and the elderly and to keep vehicle windows slightly open during travel to prevent oxygen depletion.
In conclusion, DPO Murree urged citizens to report any emergency, accident, or suspicious activity immediately by calling the *Police Helpline 15* or by approaching officers at the nearest police check post. Murree Police remain fully alert and committed to providing guidance and safety to every visitor at every step.
