Ahead of the India versus New Zealand T20 international match scheduled at the VCA Stadium, Jamtha, on January 21, Nagpur Traffic Police have issued a detailed traffic advisory to prevent congestion on Wardha Road and surrounding areas. With thousands of cricket fans expected to attend the match, police have announced a comprehensive parking and traffic management plan and urged spectators to use Metro services to avoid delays.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Lohit Matani said heavy traffic movement is expected on Wardha Road during match hours. To manage the situation, entry and exit routes to the stadium have been clearly defined, and separate parking arrangements have been made for two-wheelers, four-wheelers, school buses, VIPs, VCA members, police personnel and media representatives.

As per the advisory, vehicles travelling from Nagpur to Jamtha for the match must take Wardha Road and turn left towards the National Cancer Institute (NCI). After proceeding ahead, motorists are required to take a left turn near Mauli Nagar and park their vehicles only in the designated parking zones.
