Speaking to Pakistan Today, citizens complained about being stuck in traffic for hours. Other citizens also said similar things when asked about the problems they faced because of the cricket matches in Lahore. When contacted, Lahore Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Captain (r) Syed Hammad Abid said that they had to take tough decisions to ensure the security of international players. “Seven SPs, 15 DSPs, 90 inspectors and 1,700 traffic wardens were deployed during today’s match to ensure the smooth flow of traffic,” he said. However, he added, their plans were disrupted when the rain lashed the city, affecting the overall pace of the traffic.
