ISLAMABAD: On the directives of Federal Minister for Communications Murad Saeed, National Highways & Motorway Police (NH&MP) has introduced the iOS version of ‘Hamsafar’ app for iPhone users.
In November last, the Android version of the application was introduced to facilitate commuters of motorways and highways.
This app was jointly developed by the National Highways Authority (NHA) and Motorway Police (MP), to apprise commuters about the latest traffic and weather updates.
With the launch of Hamsafar on the iOS operating system, now iPhone users can also make the most of this application.
The application software is designed in a way that it would send travellers timely notification of available scenarios, fed into the system by App Monitors of NH&MP.
The message notifications will cover updates on blockades, closures, diversion, fog, blind spots, black spots and congestions.
National Highway and Motorway Police have also launched an App “NHMP Hamsafar”. The users can call on NH&MP helpline 130 by pressing this menu. This will connect the call to NH&MP Call Centre.
The objective of designing the App is to help travellers in getting information regarding road safety, foggy and smoggy, and other weather conditions along with traffic updates.
