Only Families Allowed on Mall Road During Eid Holidays

According to District Police Officer Muhammad Raza Tanveer, only families will be allowed to enter Mall Road and certain other crowded areas during Eid ul Azha.

The decision has been taken to improve security, control overcrowding, and maintain a family-friendly atmosphere in Murree.

Murree remains one of Pakistan’s most popular tourist destinations, especially during Eid holidays and summer vacations.

Section 144 Imposed in Murree Until May 31, 2026

Murree Police confirmed that Section 144 will remain enforced in Murree until May 31, 2026.

Under Section 144:

• Aerial firing is banned
• Public display of weapons is prohibited
• Dangerous activities are restricted
• Violators may face immediate legal action

Authorities say these measures are necessary to maintain law and order during the busy tourist season.

Strict Action Against One-Wheeling and Skating

The Murree administration has announced strict action against one-wheeling and skating activities during Eid holidays.

Muhammad Raza Tanveer said anyone involved in dangerous road stunts or violations of Section 144 will be arrested immediately.

Police officials explained that reckless driving and one-wheeling create serious risks for tourists and local residents, especially on Murree’s crowded and mountainous roads.

Authorities said they will follow a zero-tolerance policy during Eid ul Azha 2026.

More Than 700 Police Personnel Deployed in Murree

The additional deployment will focus on:

• Tourist areas
• Mall Road
• Traffic management points
• Entry and exit routes
• Emergency response services

Officials expect millions of tourists to visit Murree during Eid ul Azha 2026.

Police say the large deployment is necessary to manage crowds and maintain public safety.

Murree Tourist Traffic Expected to Increase in 2026

According to official police data, around 70,000 vehicles entered Murree on the third day of Eid last year.

Murree Police believes that tourist numbers may increase even further during Eid ul Azha 2026.

Murree often experiences heavy traffic congestion during holiday periods because of the high number of visitors traveling from different cities across Pakistan.

Authorities are preparing additional traffic management plans to reduce road congestion and improve tourist movement.

Safe Tourism Murree Mobile App Launched

Murree Police has also launched the “Safe Tourism Murree” mobile application to help visitors during the Eid holidays.

The app will provide:

• Live traffic updates
• Emergency assistance
• Tourist information
• Safety alerts

One important feature of the application is “Text to DPO,” which allows tourists to directly contact the district police officer for assistance or complaints.

Officials say the app is designed to improve tourist safety and communication during busy travel days.

Murree Police Advisory for Eid Travelers

Ahead of Eid ul Azha 2026, police have issued travel advisories for tourists planning to visit Murree.

Visitors are advised to:

• Avoid peak travel hours

• Check vehicle brakes and tires

Police especially warned travelers to avoid heavy rush periods expected on the second and third days of Eid.

Mountain roads in Murree can become dangerous during overcrowded traffic conditions, especially for poorly maintained vehicles.

Murree Remains Pakistan’s Popular Hill Station

Murree remains one of the most visited hill stations in Pakistan.

Thousands of families travel to Murree every year to enjoy:

Because of increasing tourist traffic, authorities continue improving security and traffic management systems to handle large crowds safely.

Murree Police stated that all departments are fully prepared for the Eid rush and will continue monitoring traffic, tourist movement, and security conditions throughout the holidays.

Authorities also requested tourists to cooperate with police instructions and follow traffic rules to avoid accidents and delays.
