ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has announced Traffic Diversions on Major Roads in Islamabad on April 13 due to the movement of foreign delegations in the federal capital.
The authorities issued a complete traffic advisory, which will assist in controlling traffic jams while maintaining proper vehicle movement throughout the main routes.
Officials report that the traffic diversions, which will start on major roads in Islamabad on April 13, will impact multiple key roads, which include Srinagar Highway, Club Road, Murree Road, and Islamabad Expressway.
The authorities will execute these roadway diversions from morning through nighttime hours according to security requirements and movement plans. The traffic authorities confirmed that vehicular movement on these routes may remain partially or fully affected during delegation transfers.
Authorities recommend that commuters using affected corridors should prepare their routes before traveling, while they should use alternative roads whenever they can, and they need to add extra travel time to prevent delays.
The Islamabad Traffic Police requested citizens to assist on-duty personnel by following their instructions, which will help in maintaining safe traffic control during the diversion plan.
The officials confirmed that they implemented all required procedures to reduce public disturbance. Residents can access real-time updates about the April 13 traffic diversions, which will impact major roads in Islamabad through Islamabad Traffic Police official social media channels and FM 92.4, which broadcasts live traffic updates.
Markets, Malls to Reopen
Authorities have restored business activities throughout the capital after they removed previous restrictions, which had prevented commercial operations from resuming.
Irfan Nawaz Memon, the Deputy Commissioner, announced that all commercial centers in Islamabad can open again except for those that exist on routes affected by the Expressway traffic plan. He confirmed that shops and markets across the city can resume their regular business activities without any limitations.
The deputy commissioner explained that commercial outlets needed to stay closed because foreign dignitaries were visiting and moving through the city. The restriction has been lifted because the situation has become stable and all economic activities now operate normally.
