The City Traffic Police devised a comprehensive strategy to ensure the smooth flow of vehicles, keeping in view the increasing number of visitors to Benazir Bhutto International Airport due to the start of the post-Hajj flight operation.
A great rush was witnessed on city roads, as family members, relatives and friends from different cities visited the airport in convoys to welcome pilgrims returning from Saudi Arabia.
“A special squad comprising inspectors had been deputed and a helpline (1915) at the Traffic Headquarters had been established, besides the deployment of additional traffic wardens, which would ensure smooth flow of traffic,” said Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Ishtiaq Hussain Shah on Wednesday.
Under the plan, he said that visitors would not be allowed to park their vehicles around the airport, as separate arrangements had been made for them to avoid rush within the airport premises.
The CTO would supervise the entire traffic plan during the month-long post-Hajj flight operation.
