Authorities Seal Several Murree Hotels For Jacking Up Room Rent !

[El Sidd]

But why? There is nothing illegal against hiking the price of luxury items in high demand. What law did they break? They are part of a morally bankrupt nation, did they arrest any drivers who blocked the traffic by going on the wrong side of the road? They broke the law! This is what happens after every tragedy, Admin swings into action like a headless chicken doing random illogical things just to show that there is some government.

There are strict laws in Pakistan which deter exploitation of all sorts by terming them as a crime.

An educational drive to educate you on the penal code of Pakistan should be government's priority.

Sadly this has always been the case, we are fortunate that a family member has a small house near to Nathia Gali that we can use when on holiday, but friends told me that even before the snowfall the rates were 15,000 for 2 bed occupancy room.

During snowfall we have seen evidence of receipts for rooms (double occupancy) 25,000/30,000. For comparison, the price of a room at Marriott Islamabad is 36,000. This is completely unacceptable and just goes to show there are no checks and balances.

A dear friend opened his summer house and loaned it to RMC for their staff to sleep in whilst they were clearing the snow, there are many such houses and hotels laying empty, the locals SHOULD have opened their doors to the suffering citizens the moment they discovered there are blizzard like conditions outside.

Unbridled greed and apathy at the human condition is what drives this indignant behaviour. I hope even more hotels get sealed and a list is being complied of those who will have criminal charges brought up against them.

In July We 3 rented a 3 bed cottage for 35000 in Nathia gali. As long as the demand remains rates will be high. Murre and Nathia are the closest hill station available and people rush there at the every possible chance they have.
In 90's one of our neighbors was from Murree, his family used to tell us what people in Murree do to block traffic in cold weather, they would gather snow on main roads and tell people that road cannot be opened and then force them to stay in hotels and exuberant rates. So this is nothing new.

Both are guilty Bro
!
The drivers who went on the wrong side of the road, but also those who rise prices because of the dramatic situation.

There is something called national solidarity in those exceptional situations which we as Pakistanis, as Muslims and even as simple human being have forgotten.

Disgusting, Pakistan is completely devoid of morality and humanity..

میری برف میری مرضی - مری والوں کا شکوہ

جب سارا پاکستان رمضان اور عید پر ایک دوسرے کو دونوں ہاتھوں سے لوٹ رہا ہوتا ہے ہم اس وقت تراویح پڑھتے ہیں - مری کے شہری

2 days shows cause notice, then BAU (Business as Usual).

Same in 1980's and im guessing in the 70's too. Murree has always been that sort of place. I have memories of the Mall being overpopulated even in the 80's never mind the 90's Noughties, and 2022.

Bhai jaan.

There is no law in Pakistan...riswat is the law of the land.
What's on paper and what actually happens is not the same

I remain optimistic about Pakistan. The nation hit rock bottom years ago so it can only get better. Humanity is not abandoned by its creator, just yet.
