He expressed understanding of why people might be hesitant to attend matches in Karachi due to such logistical challenges.
Fakhr-e-Alam highlighted that if individuals with special passes and stickers on their cars faced difficulties reaching the venue, it raised serious questions about accessibility for the general public. He underscored the added inconvenience faced by citizens of Karachi due to the mismanagement of traffic arrangements.
The duo concluded their message with a plea to the Karachi traffic police and local organizers to urgently address the issue and devise effective traffic management solutions. They urged authorities to streamline the routes leading to the National Stadium to ensure a hassle-free experience for cricket enthusiasts and avoid further disappointment for those eager to witness live matches in Karachi. As the cricket season unfolds, the call for improved infrastructure and traffic planning becomes increasingly imperative to enhance the overall experience for fans attending matches.
