- ABBOTTABAD -- Tourism is booming in the scenic hills of Hazara and Malakand divisions, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), a sure sign of improved law and order, officials say.
During the last week of June, over the Eid ul Fitr holiday, more than 3 million tourists visited Galyat, Kaghan, Naran, Kumrat, Swat, Chitral and other tourist areas, KP Police announced June 30.
Temperatures in these towns, dotted with lakes and rivers and surrounded by picturesque mountains and green valleys, remain comfortable as the rest of the country broils under temperatures reaching 45 degrees Celsius. To ensure security and facilitate tourists, police deployed a special Tourist Police force in Abbottabad and Mansehra districts of Hazara Division and in Swat and Upper Dir districts of Malakand Division.
"About one million tourists have arrived in Swat since Eid ul Fitr, and tens of thousands more are coming to stay in Kalam, Bahrain, Madyan and Malam Jabba after escaping hot summer temperatures all over the country," Swat District Police Officer Ijaz Ahmad told Pakistan Forward.
Tourist Police are on hand to assist the large number of guests coming to Swat, he said.
"Apart from engaging hundreds of policemen for security and traffic management, we have dedicated a 50-man squad with 25 motorbikes for welcoming and facilitating tourists," he said.
