ISLAMABAD: The competent authorities have asked all visitors who are going to the mountainous areas to enjoy the snowfall to take extra precautions to avoid any unfortunate situations.
Reports from a private news channel stated that authorities have recommended locals and visitors to avoid needless travel in order to deal with the difficult situation.

In addition, travelers are asked to visit their website or call the National Highways & Motorway Police (NH&MP) helpdesk for the most recent information on road conditions along their intended route.
It is urged that travelers make sure their accommodations are available and bring along any required medications, warm clothing for inclement weather, and food for at least a day.
