All commuters are urged to exercise extreme caution, particularly those using light motor vehicles. Night-time travel should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, as visibility and road conditions may pose additional risks.

The advisory strongly recommends against the use of heavy vehicles until the situation stabilises. Local authorities continue to monitor the situation and have urged the public to remain alert and prioritise safety.
