By In a significant move to improve traffic management and enhance road safety in the hill station, City Traffic Police Murree has launched a free vehicle recovery service for both residents and tourists. The initiative aims to provide timely assistance to motorists facing emergencies such as vehicle breakdowns or road accidents, helping prevent congestion on Murree’s narrow and busy roads.
According to a City Traffic Police spokesperson, the service has been introduced on the special instructions of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, reflecting the provincial government’s focus on improving public facilitation and tourist safety. To implement the initiative effectively, authorities have deployed modern recovery vehicles equipped to handle different types of vehicles.
Free Assistance During Breakdowns and Accidents
Chief Traffic Officer Murree Imran Razaq stated that the Murree Traffic Police free vehicle recovery service is available across Murree and its surrounding areas. Under the program, traffic police recovery vehicles will provide free assistance to motorists whose vehicles become disabled due to mechanical failure or are involved in accidents.
Once a request is received, the traffic police team responds promptly and transports the affected vehicle to the nearest workshop or safe location. This process not only assists drivers but also helps reduce traffic congestion and minimize safety risks, especially during peak tourist seasons when road pressure in Murree increases significantly.
Improving Traffic Flow and Tourist Safety
Murree remains one of Pakistan’s most visited tourist destinations, particularly during weekends and holidays. Vehicle breakdowns on steep roads and sharp turns often lead to traffic jams and dangerous situations. By offering a free and organized recovery service, City Traffic Police aims to ensure smooth traffic flow and safer road conditions for everyone.
Chief Traffic Officer Imran Razaq highlighted a recent incident as an example of the service’s effectiveness. A tourist from Lahore experienced a vehicle breakdown on Bariyan Road while returning from Ayubia. After contacting the traffic control room, a traffic sergeant reached the spot and arranged a recovery vehicle. The police team safely shifted the vehicle to a nearby workshop without causing disruption to traffic.
A Step Toward Better Public Service
The initiative reflects City Traffic Police Murree’s commitment to providing public-friendly services and improving emergency response mechanisms. Authorities believe the service will strengthen trust between citizens and law enforcement while contributing to a safer travel experience in the hill station.
The Murree Traffic Police free vehicle recovery service is expected to play a crucial role in managing emergencies, supporting tourism, and maintaining road safety across Murree and nearby areas.
