Given the large turnout anticipated during the Katha and the associated Divya Darbar, police have prepared a comprehensive route plan and imposed restrictions on vehicle movement around the venue. From December 25 until the conclusion of the event, entry of heavy vehicles into the Jayanti Stadium area and adjoining localities will be completely prohibited.
Special arrangements for VIP vehicles
Vehicles with VIP passes will be allowed entry via Chopra Petrol Pump and will be parked at the Helipad Ground. VIP vehicles entering from the Police Petrol Pump side will be directed to the designated parking area near Kala Mandir.
Instructions for auto and bus operators
Auto-rickshaw and bus drivers have been instructed to drop devotees at the parking area behind the Police Petrol Pump or at the Sector-7 School Ground parking. From there, attendees will have to reach the venue on foot. Movement of all types of vehicles will be restricted on the Forest Avenue stretch from Utai Tiraha to Jawahar Udyan Chowk.
Additionally, pedestrian movement from Jayanti Stadium cutting on Forest Avenue to the Katha venue has also been prohibited to prevent congestion.
Diversion points identified
To ensure smooth traffic flow and crowd control, the police have identified Utai Tiraha, Panthi Chowk, 7/8 Chowk, 2.5 Million Chowk and Murga Chowk as major diversion points. Traffic officials have appealed to devotees and local commuters to strictly follow the designated routes and use only the notified parking areas.
The traffic police said adherence to the advisory will help avoid congestion and ensure the safety and convenience of both devotees and residents during the five-day religious event.
