Brace for traffic snarls as city welcomes V-P Dhankhar, Punjabi singer AP Dhillon

It's all set to be a tough day for commuters and the UT police as two high-profile events - the Panjab University Global Alumni meet where Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar will be the chief guest and Punjabi singer AP Dhillon's concert which is expected to draw a crowd of over 20,000 people - are lined up for Saturday, and that too in close vicinity.

CHANDIGARH:

While Dhankhar is expected to arrive at the PU campus in Sector 14 around 11am and leave by 12.30 pm, Dhillon's concert is scheduled for 8pm at the Sector-25 rally ground, which faces the PU's South campus in Sector 25 where alumni events will go on well into the evening.

In view of the two events, the traffic police have issued advisories on diversions and routes to avoid (see box).
