The Pakistan Army and other civil-armed forces have been dispatched to Murree to assist with rescue operations after 21 tourists died in their vehicles due to severe snowfall in the hill station.
After thousands of vehicles entered the city, all routes in Murree were closed, leaving tourists defenceless on the roadways.
Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed stated in a video message on Saturday that Murree had “seen a huge number of tourists after 15-20 years” and that a crisis had occurred as a result.
