KARACHI: A special musical night will be held at the National Bank Stadium Karachi this evening to celebrate Independence Day and the “Marka-e-Haq” campaign.
Karachi traffic police have issued a special traffic and parking plan for the event, which is scheduled to start at 6pm. Authorities expect heavy traffic congestion on all approaches to the venue from 5pm until around 2am.
According to the plan, only vehicles with special stickers will be allowed to enter through Gate No. 1 and Gate No. 11 of the stadium. Visitors can park their vehicles at the Expo Centre and China Ground, where shuttle services will transport them to the stadium.
Traffic police have warned of slow movement on National Stadium Road and Sir Shah Suleman Road, advising citizens to use alternate routes and avoid unnecessary travel between the Civic Centre and the stadium during the event.

Last month, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal announced that this year’s celebrations would be held under the banner of “Marka-e-Haq” to commemorate Pakistan’s resilience, progress, and pride following the April–May 2025 military confrontation with India.
