City traffic authorities have cancelled all routine leaves of traffic personnel ahead of Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr to ensure smooth flow on roads during the busy season.
The directive was issued by Mazhar Nawaz Sheikh, who stressed the need for full deployment as traffic pressure increases significantly before iftar and during late-night shopping hours.
Heavy Traffic Expected Before Iftar
Officials noted that roads witness unusual congestion before iftar as citizens rush home. Traffic wardens will be stationed at:
-
Major roads
-
Busy intersections
-
Commercial markets
The goal is to reduce delays and help commuters reach their destinations safely.
Last Ashra Rush Management
During the final days of Ramadan, markets and shopping centers experience record crowds. Authorities say additional personnel will be assigned to control:
-
Parking congestion
-
Market entry and exit routes
-
Traffic flow near commercial hubs
Strict Implementation of Orders
According to the notification, no leave will be granted except in emergency situations. Senior officers have been directed to ensure strict compliance with the plan.
Why This Matters for Citizens
Better traffic management during Ramadan can help reduce accidents, prevent long jams, and make shopping and commuting safer for families.
