AS has been the case for the last several years, the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) has again been causing problems tocommuters in Lahore, with the roadblocks causing significant disruptions. The extensive security measures, while being necessary, underscore the need for more effective planning and strategy to minimise the impact on daily life. As Lahore continues to grow and host more events, it is essential to develop strategies that balance security needs with the needs of the people. This should include advance planning, traffic management strategies, and communication with the public.

By doing so, the city administration and law-enforcement agencies can ensure that events like the PSL do not unduly impact lives and routines.

By working together, civic and security agencies can minimise disruptions and ensure that events are successful without causing undue hardships.

Moreover, effective communication is key to achieving this goal, and the city administration should prioritise keeping the people informed about any planned event or even roadblocks through the use of various channels.

The city administration should also consider conducting thorough reviews of various past events to identify areas for improvement.

The ultimate goal should be to create an efficient urban environment where events can be enjoyed in the right spirit.
