In addition to traffic measures, extra police personnel, including Special Security Unit (SSU) commandos, have been deployed around Karachi airport and its surroundings. Sindh police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon is overseeing the security arrangements, with ongoing discussions about potentially declaring these areas a “Red Zone.”

IDEAS 2024, expected to draw a large number of visitors including international delegates, necessitates these traffic and security measures to ensure a smooth and successful event. The public’s cooperation is essential to minimize disruptions during this period.
