The Islamabad police have devised a traffic management plan for the Muharram 9 processions in the capital. IG Islamabad Ali Nasir Rizvi, DIG Islamabad Syed Ali Raza, and Chief Traffic Officer Muhammad Sarfraz Virk are overseeing this plan.
The main procession will start from Mian Imambargah in G/6-2, follow its set route, and eventually return to the starting point. Several road closures and alternative routes have been established to facilitate this procession.
Fazal Haq Road will be off-limits to general traffic from Polyclinic to Kulsoom Plaza. Instead, citizens should use Jinnah Avenue from Kulsoom Plaza to China Chowk. Additionally, 7th Avenue will be closed on both sides from Daman Koh Chowk to Chand Tara Chowk, and from Blue Area out loop to 7th Avenue Chowk Suhrawardy. Commuters can instead use Urban Alternate Road, Jinnah Avenue, Suhrawardy Road, and Margalla Road.
Here is the Route Map of Islamabad:
Sadar Road will not be accessible between Iqbal Hall and Melody Chowk on both sides, with Abpara Suhrawardy Road serving as an alternative. Similarly, Municipal Road from Lal Masjid to Shahada Chowk and GPO Chowk will be closed, with Shaheed Millat Road recommended as an alternative route. Lastly, Luqman Hakeem Road from Polyclinic to Iqbal Hall will be closed, with Jinnah Avenue available as an alternative route.
