10 police checkposts in Kaghan to facilitate tourists

The police department has established 10 checkposts and deployed personnel in Kaghan Valley for the safety of tourists.

The development comes following the lifting of pandemic-induced restrictions on tourist activists by the provincial government.

District police officer Asif Bahadur said the checkpost initiative would ensure the safety and facilitation of the visitors to Kaghan valley, both locals and foreigners.

He said the checkposts were established in Mahandri, Kaghan, Pludrian, Naran, Saiful Muluk Lake, Battakundi, Barawai, Bassil, Gittidas and Suki Kinari areas.

The DPO said the police had deployed over 142 personnel, including 20 traffic wardens, for better policing during the tourist season.

He said personnel of the tourism police force would also be deployed in Kaghan valley.

He also asked traffic wardens to welcome tourists in the district courteously and not to fine vehicles used by them without local permits.

He urged visitors to stay away from the Kunhar River to prevent deaths.
