Mohali Police Enforces Strict Traffic Plan for IPL Matches at Mullanpur Stadium
In preparation for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches scheduled for March 31 and April 11, the Mohali police have issued a comprehensive route advisory for spectators traveling to the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. This initiative aims to ensure smooth traffic movement and prevent congestion around the venue, with authorities urging commuters to follow designated paths strictly.
Enhanced Security and Traffic Management Measures
To maintain law and order during the high-profile events, Mohali police will deploy approximately 2,500 to 3,000 personnel on match days. Additional forces from various districts and paramilitary units will be brought in to bolster security. Several routes leading to the cricket stadium will be closed for vehicular traffic on March 31, and visitors are strongly advised to adhere to the provided advisory to avoid delays and inconvenience.
Detailed Route Guidelines for Spectators
Routes from Dakshin Marg: Travelers approaching from Dakshin Marg should turn left at the Mullanpur-Chandigarh barrier towards the Baddi-Kurali road. From there, take a left near Omaxe Ship Building to access PR-7 (Airport Road), followed by another left turn onto Stadium Road, which leads directly to the venue. As an alternative, commuters can continue straight on the Baddi-Kurali road after the barrier and take a left turn near Eco City 1 Township, connecting to Stadium Road via PR-6 for another access point.
Routes from Airport Road: Visitors traveling via PR-7 (Airport Road) from the Baddi or Kurali side can proceed straight and take a right turn onto Stadium Road. This route offers direct connectivity to the stadium and is expected to handle a significant portion of incoming traffic efficiently.
Routes from PGI-Madhya Marg: Those coming from the PGI–Madhya Marg stretch should drive towards the Baddi-Kurali road and take a left to join PR-7 (Airport Road). From there, a further left turn onto Stadium Road will lead to the stadium. Alternatively, commuters can turn left at the Mullanpur-Chandigarh barrier towards Kurali and then take a left near Eco City 1 Township, reaching Stadium Road via PR-6.
Authorities' Recommendations for Smooth Travel
Authorities have emphasized the importance of planning travel in advance, adhering to all traffic guidelines, and utilizing designated parking areas to minimize disruptions. Traffic personnel will be strategically deployed along key junctions to manage flow and assist commuters during match hours, ensuring a safe and organized experience for all attendees.
