Gurpreet Singh :- Elaborate security and traffic arrangements have been put in place in Mohali ahead of Punjabi singer Karan Aujla’s concert scheduled for Saturday evening at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. The district administration has issued a traffic advisory, announcing restrictions on several roads around the venue to ensure smooth conduct of the event.
According to officials, roads leading to Phase 10, Sector 65 and the route towards Mohali Railway Station will remain closed for the duration of the programme. Only emergency and authorised vehicles will be allowed to pass through these routes, while the public has been advised to avoid the area and use alternative roads.
To manage traffic and maintain order, the police have set up 32 checkpoints across the city, including one directly outside the stadium gate and others along key routes leading to the venue. Personnel deployed at these points will guide commuters and assist concert attendees with traffic movement.
Officials said that along with private security staff, more than 3,500 personnel of the Punjab Police have been deployed across the area following directions from senior authorities to ensure strict law and order during the event.
DSP City-1 Prithvi Singh Chal said the police are fully committed to maintaining law and order and that security personnel will remain stationed across sensitive points in the city throughout the programme.
Meanwhile, DSP City-2 Harsimran Singh Bal said that following representations submitted earlier, the organisers of the event and the singer’s team have been informed that strict action will be taken if any performance includes objectionable content or the display of weapons during the show.
