Lahore and other parts of Punjab have been engulfed in dense fog, severely impacting daily life. Several sections of the motorway have been closed, and flight operations at Lahore Airport have been disrupted.

The fog also enveloped Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, and other cities, causing reduced visibility on national highways and creating challenges for drivers navigating the roads.
 

According to a Motorway police spokesperson, Motorway M2 from Lahore to Kot Momin, M3 from Lahore to Jaranwal, M4 from Pindi Bhattian to Faisalabad and M11 from Lahore to Sialkot have been closed for all kind of traffic.

The Motorway police have advised the motorists to use Grand Trunk (GT) Road for travelling. They have also urged the drivers to drive slowly and switch on fog lights.

The Motorway police have also advised the people to stay home and avoid unnecessary travelling. Dense fog has also disrupted traffic at several places in the country at the national highways due to low visibility.

Furthermore, the schedule of various outbound flights has been revised and they will be allowed to take off after the visibility improves.
