Tourists from across the country thronged Murree and its adjoining Galiyat areas as light snowfall continued in the hilly resort on Saturday.

Wardens have also been deployed to monitor traffic and guide tourists, DawnNewsTV reported. Moreover, the highways department has made necessary arrangement to clear snow from the roads.

At a time when hundreds of visitors enjoyed the cold and snowy weather, the locals faced many problems due to loadshedding and insufficient heating arrangements.
