Murree Police have announced a comprehensive security and traffic management plan for Eid ul Azha 2026 to ensure the safety of tourists visiting the hill station during the holiday period.
The security strategy includes increased police deployment, entry restrictions, and strict enforcement measures aimed at controlling overcrowding and maintaining public order across Murree and surrounding tourist areas.
According to District Police Officer Dr. Muhammad Raza Tanveer, only families will be permitted to enter Mall Road and selected parts of the city during the Eid holidays. The decision has been taken to manage heavy tourist inflows and create a safer environment for visitors.
Murree remains one of Pakistan’s most visited tourist destinations during Eid vacations, attracting thousands of families from different cities each year. Authorities often implement special traffic and security plans to prevent congestion, improve crowd control, and avoid emergencies during peak travel days.
Police officials stated that additional personnel would be deployed at major entry points, commercial areas, and tourist attractions. Surveillance and monitoring measures are also expected to be enhanced to ensure smooth movement of traffic and public safety throughout the Eid holidays.
Authorities have warned that strict action will be taken against traffic violations, reckless driving, and individuals attempting to disturb public order. Tourists have been advised to cooperate with law enforcement officials and follow all instructions issued during the holiday season.
The administration is also expected to coordinate with traffic police and local authorities to regulate vehicle entry and reduce pressure on major roads leading to Murree. Travelers are encouraged to plan their trips accordingly and avoid unnecessary rush during peak hours.
In recent years, Murree has witnessed record tourist inflows during Eid and winter seasons, prompting authorities to introduce stricter crowd management policies. The latest security plan reflects continued efforts to improve tourist safety and maintain organized travel conditions in the popular hill station.
