MATHURA TO EXPERIMENT WITH NEW TRAFFIC PLAN

NOVEMBER 24, 2014

Mathura

 

Senior Superintendent of police Mathura, Manzil Saini has drawn up a comprehensive traffic management plan for Mathura and Vrindavan, and is likely to be put into action from December 1.

 

The plan restricts the entry of heavy vehicles in the city areas from morning till evening. One way traffic system will also be enforced in and around Holi Gate. The state roadways buses will also have to follow new guidelines and enter the city bus stands from specified routes.

 

Manzil Saini is waiting for reactions from the public. The feedback will be analysed and suitable modifications made in the plan. Senior officials indicated more traffic cops will be deployed on busy routes. The Chatikara entry point to Vrindavan will be the focal point of traffic control. Heavy vehicles entering Vrindavan from the Yamuna Expressway will also need to wait for specified timings to enter the city.

 

Officials hoped strict adherence to the new timings and routes would ease traffic pressure and help address one of the major irritants for visiting pilgrims.
