According to a commissioner's office spokesperson, Murree district administration on the directives of the Rawalpindi Division Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatta had set up 13 centres at Satara Meel, Lower Topa, Jika Gali, GPO, Kashmir Point, Kuldana, Kali Matti, Masiyari, Sindhan, Sunny Bank, Bhorban, Thanda Jungle, and Saharbagla to facilitate the tourists.
