Islamabad Traffic Police Issues Cricket Match Advisory
The Islamabad Traffic Police has officially released a traffic advisory in preparation for the upcoming Tri-nations cricket series match scheduled to take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. With cricket teams requiring transportation from Islamabad to the stadium venue, significant traffic diversions are anticipated along several key routes.
Affected Routes and Travel Recommendations
Authorities have identified that traffic flow will likely be impacted on Srinagar Highway, Club Road, and Ninth Avenue, particularly during peak travel hours. Commuters using these roads should prepare for potential delays and are strongly advised to allow an additional 15 to 20 minutes for their journeys to accommodate the expected congestion.
The Islamabad Traffic Police has assured the public that they will make every possible effort to minimize inconvenience to travelers. Regular traffic updates will be provided through their official social media channels and via FM radio station 92.4 to keep motorists informed of current conditions.
Emergency Contacts and Public Cooperation
Citizens are requested to extend their full cooperation to traffic authorities and maintain patience during this period. In case of any emergencies or traffic-related issues, individuals can contact the emergency service "Pukaar 15" or the dedicated Traffic Helpline at 1915 for immediate assistance.
Meanwhile, in the ongoing Tri-nation T20 International series, Sri Lanka secured a decisive nine-wicket victory against Zimbabwe in the fifth match played on Tuesday night. This result has significantly altered the tournament dynamics, with both teams having defeated each other in one match each throughout the series.
The victory places Sri Lanka in contention for the second position among the three participating teams. Pakistan has already qualified for the final, having accumulated six points without losing any matches thus far. Had Zimbabwe won Tuesday's match, they would have directly advanced to the final.
The situation now depends on the upcoming Thursday match where Sri Lanka will face Pakistan. If the Sri Lankan team manages to defeat Pakistan in this crucial fourth match, they will earn their place in the tournament final scheduled for November 29.
