  "account": "The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) has suggested that motorists should schedule travel between 10 am and 6 pm to ensure safer journeys during the foggy season. This advice comes after dense fog led to the closure of a segment of the M4 Motorway from Shamkot to Abdul Hakeem, as well as part of the M4 stretch from Abdul Hakeem to Gojra. The M1 Motorway from Peshawar's main toll plaza to Rashakai was also closed earlier due to the same reason.\n\nSyed Imran Ahmed, NHMP Central Region spokesperson, stated that the closures aim to safeguard the lives and property of the public. He urged people to refrain from unnecessary travel in fog and prefer daylight journeys instead. The NHMP advises drivers navigating foggy conditions to reduce their speed, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, stay in their lanes, and avoid any unnecessary overtaking or sudden braking. Additionally, they must ensure fog lights, as well as headlights, tail lights, and wipers, are functioning correctly.\n\nFog frequently results in motorway closures in Punjab during winter. Last week, the M3 Motorway was shut from Faizpur to Jaranwala due to dense fog, while five major motorways were closed for the same reason in January.",
