The stage is set for the T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand, on March 8, in Ahmedabad. And as both teams gear up for the face-off, the city too is limbering up for the challenges, that might come due to the huge crowd coming in at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Follow these traffic rules for IND vs NZ final
Now, the Ahmedabad city police has issued an advisory ahead of the IND vs NZ clash; traffic diversion has been announced in and around the stadium, to maintain the security levels and smooth traffic movement. As per the notification issued by the Commissioner of Police GS Malik, the traffic restrictions will begin from 10 am on March 8 until midnight.
The key areas are as follows — Janpath T-junction to the main gate of the stadium, a and from Krupa Residency T-junction to Motera Gam T-junction; these areas will remain closed for general traffic. Also, alternate routes have been announced. Commuters from Tapovan can use route via Tapovan Circle, ONGC Crossroads, Visat T-Junction, Janpath T-Junction, Powerhouse Crossroads, and Prabodh Raval Circle.
Issues galore for Team India
The ones reaching Krupa T-junction are advised to go through Sharan Status Crossroads and Bhat–Koteshwar Road towards Apollo Circle. The police has also urged the fans and the citizens to follow the traffic guidelines and cooperate with the authorities. Strict action will be taken against violators.
As far as the match is concerned, Team India has a few issues at hand — the form of Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy to be specific. The runs have not come from the bats of Abhishek and Surya, while VC has been very expensive in the last few matches. The management could look at Kuldeep Yadav as an alternate.
