During the Navratri festival, those venturing out for a darshan of Maa Durga are advised to familiarise themselves with the traffic route plan to avoid inconvenience and potential fines. A comprehensive plan has been prepared to ensure smooth traffic flow for Dussehra, with several routes designated as one-way and others closed to traffic. These changes will remain in effect until October 2.
The Transport Department has created a route chart for the festival and submitted it to the District Magistrate for final approval, after which it will be implemented.
