Foggy weather: commuters advised precaution

RECORDER REPORT

FAISALABAD: The district administration has asked the commuters to adopt necessary precautionary measures while travelling during the foggy weather.

A spokesman of the administration said that people should avoid travelling during foggy weather as it may lead to some fatal accidents. "They should also refrain from standing along road sides or on bus stops besides keeping their NIC or any other identity with them during a journey".

Meanwhile, the drivers have also been directed to drive cautiously. They should also keep their headlights in perfect working condition, the officials said and warned that overtaking is most dangerous in case of fog.

The district administration has also launched a campaign to fix reflectors on all slow moving vehicles while reflectors are also being pasted on each sides of the un-manned level crossings.
