ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Traffic Police has prepared a special traffic management plan for cattle markets across the federal capital ahead of Eid-ul-Azha to ensure smooth traffic flow and convenience for the public.
Chief Traffic Officer Muhammad Sarfraz Virk said that more than 350 officers and personnel will be deployed under the special Eid traffic arrangements.
He said additional traffic staff have been assigned around cattle markets to guide commuters and control traffic congestion during busy shopping hours.
The CTO advised citizens to use designated parking areas instead of parking on roadsides near cattle markets to prevent traffic jams and inconvenience for other drivers.
