Mohali: Authorities in Mohali have issued a traffic advisory ahead of Punjabi music star Karan Aujla’s live concert scheduled tonight at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Phase 9. With thousands of fans expected to attend the event, city officials are preparing for heavy traffic congestion and crowd management challenges in and around the venue.
Traffic management officials have advised motorists to avoid travelling near Phase 9 and nearby connecting roads during peak hours unless it is absolutely necessary. Commuters have been urged to use alternative routes wherever possible to reduce pressure on the main roads leading to the stadium.
According to officials, significant traffic delays are expected on major routes approaching the venue, particularly during the late afternoon and evening when most attendees are likely to arrive. Authorities said traffic congestion could extend to surrounding sectors and key intersections connected to the stadium area.
To manage the large crowd and vehicle movement, organisers have arranged designated parking spaces and specific drop-off points around the venue. These arrangements aim to ensure smoother entry and exit for visitors while preventing unnecessary traffic build-up near the stadium gates.
Traffic police teams will be deployed across major junctions and roads in the vicinity to regulate traffic flow and assist commuters. Temporary diversions and traffic control measures have also been put in place to manage the anticipated surge in vehicles.
Officials have requested residents and regular commuters to plan their travel accordingly and cooperate with traffic personnel on duty. They also advised concert attendees to arrive early and follow the designated parking and entry guidelines to avoid inconvenience.
Authorities said these arrangements have been made to ensure public safety and maintain orderly traffic movement during the high-profile music event.
