DCP Traffic Lohit Matani said that, all vehicles will be barred from entering the JamthaT-Point on match day. Only vehicles carrying players and umpires will be allowed to use this route. VCA members’ vehicles will also follow the same entry system. School buses will be required to take a U-turn near the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and park at the designated parking area near Gate No 13.

 

To reduce traffic pressure, spectators have been strongly advised to use the Metro service. “With such a large crowd expected, traffic movement may slow down despite all arrangements.
