Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Muhammad Bin Ashraf, in a press statement here on Sunday, said in order to make security foolproof for March 23 parade, heavy traffic would not be allowed on the city roads while additional traffic wardens and officers would be deputed to control traffic.

The CTO said Faizabad Interchange would remain closed for all kinds of traffic either going towards Islamabad or entering Rawalpindi. Diversions would also be placed on different places, he added.

He said the motorists, who wanted to go Islamabad from Murree Road, would reach their destinations via the 9th Avenue while those travelling on the 9th Avenue would enter Rawalpindi by taking a U-turn from Double Road.

Similarly, the vehicles coming from Koral Chowk would enter the Federal Capital by using routes of Khana Pull Service Road, Chungi Number 8, Bandh Khana Road, Sadiqabad, Rawal Road, C Block, Murree Road and Stadium Road, he added.

The Chief Traffic Officer urged the citizens to cooperate with traffic police so that traffic problems could be addressed properly.

He advised the motorists and road users to contact on traffic police helpline 051-9272616 in case of any inconvenience or problem during travel.
