Intense cold weather followed by fog in various cities across the country continues to disrupt routine life, traffic and flights. Health experts have asked people to remain vigilant while maintaining a healthy diet and using face masks as in various cities including the capital, people were facing almost freezing temperatures due to dense fog that engulfs in the morning and stays on for hours after daybreak
A thick layer of fog has enveloped many cities in Punjab including Lahore, paralyzing routine life and disrupting road traffic. The recent cold wave and foggy conditions have already made living conditions difficult with people already suffering due to power load shedding and low pressure of gas.
Under the said circumstances, the number of people complaining of cold-related ailments has also shot up over the last few days.
Motorway police said that the travelers of the Motorway had been asked to use fog lights and slow the speed due to dense fog in inner Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Motorway police have also requested the people to stay home and avoid unnecessary travelling.—INP
