Islamabad announces traffic plan for Independence Day celebrations
The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has introduced a special Islamabad traffic plan to manage the expected rush of vehicles during Independence Day celebrations.
Under the Islamabad traffic plan, heavy traffic will not be allowed to enter the capital from midnight on August 12 until midnight on August 14. Officials say the move is aimed at ensuring smooth movement and preventing congestion during the celebrations.
The special arrangements are part of the broader Independence Day traffic management strategy, as thousands of people are expected to travel across Islamabad to participate in national events.
Diversions announced around H-8
The ITP has also announced Islamabad traffic restrictions on several roads near Yadgar-e-Fateh in H-8.
Authorities said temporary diversions will be introduced around the area to manage the increased flow of vehicles. Drivers have been advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes where possible.
Officials believe these Islamabad traffic restrictions will help reduce traffic jams and improve safety during the celebrations.
The Independence Day traffic arrangements are expected to remain in place throughout major events taking place in the capital.
