MURREE: Hundreds of tourists were stranded for hours as their vehicles stuck in traffic due to heavy snow falling in Murree before Geo News reported their misery, prompting the authorities to spring into action to remove the white stuff on late Friday night.
Traffic police rushed to the area where long queues of vehicles with tourists and their families who had arrived to enjoy the snow falling at the hill station were struck between Mall road and Baasri road.
The police sprinkled salt on the road, which melts snow and prevents it from freezing.
