Rawat (Potohar.com — Ikram ul Haq Qureshi | April 08, 2026):
Following directives from Deputy Commissioner Murree, Agha Zaheer Abbas Shirazi, the district administration has sealed four hotels for failing to implement mandatory safety measures.
According to details, strict action was taken against hotels and a guest house that did not comply with officially issued safety Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The move is part of a broader effort to ensure the safety and protection of tourists visiting Murree.
The sealed establishments include Move n Pick Hotel, Hotel Hamdan, Woodberry Hotel, and AM Guest House.
Authorities had previously instructed hotel and guest house owners to adopt comprehensive safety measures and had also conducted awareness sessions to guide them. Despite these efforts, non-compliance led to immediate sealing.
Deputy Commissioner Agha Zaheer Abbas Shirazi stated that no one will be allowed to endanger human lives. He emphasised that these safety directives are crucial for protecting tourists and confirmed that a zero-tolerance policy is being strictly enforced.
He further reiterated that adherence to safety SOPs is mandatory, and violations will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
