Murree’s GT Road has been closed to all traffic following a landslide in the Salgran area. Deputy Commissioner Murree, Agha Zaheer Abbas Shirazi, and District Police Officer Asif Amin Awan narrowly avoided a serious accident during their visit to inspect the affected site.
As the officials arrived at the scene, large rocks and boulders began to slide. The DPO’s vehicle was nearly struck by a massive rock, but fortunately, no one inside was harmed.
However, Deputy Commissioner Shirazi sustained a foot fracture after being hit by a stone and is being transferred to THQ Hospital for treatment.
The continuous heavy rainfall not only led to severe traffic delays but also caved-in a major part of the road.
Authorities have announced that GT Road will remain closed until the rain subsides and repair work is completed. In the meantime, tourists and local residents are advised to use the alternative Murree Expressway. The administration has urged everyone to cooperate and avoid unnecessary travel in the affected area.
