The ongoing smog engulfed various parts of Punjab early Wednesday forcing the closure of motorways for traffic.

Punjab Motorway M2 and M3 in various places from Lahore to Sambrial was closed.

According to the Motorway Police, the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway M2 was blocked from Niaz Baig to Momin due to fog and the Sialkot Motorway from Lahore to Sambrial was closed due to heavy fog.

The motorway administration says that travelers should avoid unnecessary driving and use precautions like the use of front and fog lights, avoid speeding on the road, and maintain adequate distance from the vehicle in front of them.

For any emergency, they can contact helpline 130 for information and assistance.
