A new tourist attraction in Murree has reportedly turned out to be a sewage drain carrying wastewater. The site lies along the Murree-Rawalpindi GT Road.
The artificial waterfall stands between Chatta Mor and Bansera Gali. According to locals, an alleged group has promoted the location as a picnic spot.
Many tourists reportedly visit the site every day. However, visitors often remain unaware that sewage flows through the area.
Tourists frequently take photographs and videos at the location. Some visitors reportedly enter the contaminated water without knowing its source.
The site has therefore raised concerns about public health and tourist safety. Local residents have urged authorities to take immediate action.
Locals Raise Concerns Over Tourist Safety
According to local residents, cameramen and taxi operators bring visitors to the location. They reportedly promote the sewage drain as a tourist attraction and earn money.
The attraction has gained popularity despite concerns surrounding the water quality. Tourists reportedly continue visiting the area because they believe it features a natural waterfall.
However, the wastewater could expose visitors to health risks. The situation has particularly raised concerns about children and tourists entering the water.
Tourists Demand Action From Authorities
Tourists and local residents have called on the district administration to close the artificial picnic spot. They also urged officials to prevent visitors from approaching the contaminated water.
Authorities could also investigate how the sewage drain became a tourist attraction. Residents say immediate measures could help protect unsuspecting visitors.
The incident has highlighted concerns about tourist safety and waste management in Murree. Officials may now need to assess the location and take appropriate action.
